Glad to see that your knife made it to you alright! Hope you are enjoying it.

I still need SpydieKnut's hi res pic because I can't send his knife until I get it! We have the calendar all laid out but it currently has no cover! :eek:

But the calendar looks great otherwise, and! it might come complete with giveaways that only calendar owners will know about, so be sure to keep an eye out for those once you get yours!

I received my Dyad Jr. to be honest, very happy with a new type of knife I haven't owned before. It just adds to my collection of Spyderco's. Thanks allot guys and looking forward to the calendar. TO answer another poster's question; I think it's pretty cool to have a photo featured on the Spyderco Calendar. I bought my first spyderco WAY back and have carried them through out my 20+ year in Law Enforcement. Spyderco's are THE most carried knives by the guys I work with and we/they demand allot from their knives so it says allot. When I was teaching firearms at a certain federal law enforcement training academy, we had a guest trainer show up from the UK. He was a SAS guy who was there to teach us the importance of backup carry; but in this case, it wasn't another gun it was a knife. Guess what he did all of his demonstrations and techniques with? A Spyderco Endura. He couldn’t say enough good things about his beloved spydie. When it was all over, those in the class who didn’t carry a spyderco went out and bought one. It just re-enforced what I already knew; spyderco's are the ultimate in utilitarian design for so many applications, it's amazing. So, to be featured on their calendar; yea, I'm pretty happy. My daughter is eagerly awaiting the calendar to see it. By the way, the dyad jr. will be her first knife; she loves the blue color of it.

Glad to see to Dyad Jr. made it to Australia and didn't get seized by your Customs.

To be honest, I didn't buy a Dyad Jr. yet because I had hoped to win one in the contest! :) . Since I didn't win, I guess I'll have to just order one. It looks much more compact than my Byrd Wings.
Which Knife, A or B? get Both! (and C, D and E) :)

I got mine yesterday. I love the little guy, even without a clip. Very cool knife. I really want to use it - I don't collect knives to collect dust, but with the autographed box involved, I can't decide. What's everyone else doing with their's? :confused: Anyway, thank you Sal, Eric, and the Spydie crew! :cool: Here're a couple of pics...

I got mine today! Very nice little knife. Thinner than I expected and nice open and closing. I am torn between using and not using. Smaller than I usually carry but such a cool story behind it. I'll have to give it some thought.

Thanks again everyone at Spyderco for choosing my picture!!

I am also torn. I'm a user more than a collector, but I already have one of the old black Dyad Jrs. This one may stay in the box for now. We'll see.

The quality of the entries was really very good. Congratulations to all the entrants and as well as the winners.

Something tells me that eyeballing this calendar on a daily basis will have a negative affect on my wallet :D
