I like your latest group of pictures. Very nice diversity using unique background. Dan

I was sitting on these Pictures for a while now.
Some were contest ones and the others were made for the contest but just did not make it true the selection proces.

I may be slightly prejudiced but my favorites is the ATR 2 SS . Dan

I know i made it especially for you.

Thanks you , very thoughtful of you and very much appreciated! It’s nice to see the classics ! Dan

The classics are the heart and soul of Spyderco. Not that i do not like the newer models but they do not give the same feeling for some reason. Perhaps because of the change of times everything feels hasted and less love is put in to things. That is how i feel most of the times. I wish i could afford more classics but prices are sky high and i am not in the right time in my life to chase such things.
Also about the newer stuff i can not say i have bin blown away or got hyped for a model since the Nirvana so maybe its not spyderco but just me.

I would love to have some new models in Titanium frame lock but can’t justify price being a lefty .

Precious is beautiful, great shots too . Dan

Thx Dan. I wish i had the nerve to take here out of the display more.
But that one is really my kryptonite i would go insane if i lost my Nirvana.

These i made especially for my buddy Dan!

The resilience is an amazing model.I was lucky to scoop this one up second hand so i paid close to nothing and is probably the best “bang for my buck” i will ever find.

Thx Dan i am glad you like them. Took some more today but there still on my phone at the moment.
Even made a few for Jeff!
The green one was my first custom scale job. ( you can see that because i screwed up the lanyard tube.) Still pains me if i look at it.

This one is for JSumm (Jeff) because we all know how much he loves his polestar!

Oh thanks Apollo! I didn't know you owned one. Such a great all around model. In fact, I may skip out on the new Leaf Jumper I like it so much.

You’re welcome! And yes i have one for a few years now and its my favorite work edc.
I think its my favorite design of Sal himself.
Its the only spydie i love so much of my work knives that i take it as a secondary besides my normal edc’s when i am off work (primary is mostly one of my Manixes ofcourse )
I find it a knife that’s good for all general cutting tasks and its steel holds up sharpness for a good amount of time. Also the linerlock is one of the strongest i have ever had. And price to value its probably one of the best spydies on the market.
