What's the most expensive Spydie knife you own?
Mine is probably the CF Military that I paid about $150 for. What's yours?
I'd like to find one of those old Spyder-keys for sale.

:spyder: So far I think it's my Lil' Temperance at around $140. Not a bad deal for the best production folding knife ever made! :spyder:

Mine is also the CF Military!! I paid somewhere between $160-$190; I honestly can not remember.

For me it's the C67 R PE NIB at about USD 265,- (Euros 220,-).

That would be my upgraded Salt 1 I made for myself.
I paid $20 plus shipping for it used then took it apart and built titanium liners and a custom titanium pocket clip for it using lignum vitae wood for scales. That brought the cost up another $30 there. Then not happy with the stainless pivot and screws I searched out and found titanium screws for it. Had to buy 10 and they were like $6 each so that brought up the price another $60 plus shipping. Then I had to make my own titanium pivot pin for it and find a titanium screw that would fit. That turned out to be quite expensive. More than the knife actually which added $30 more to the party. Then I sent it off to have the wood scales hand checkered by a pro for $87 total. Finally in the end I gold anodized the liners and clip. Its one of my favorite knives but I paid dearly for it. $227 my cost not including the first set of screws and pivot I used or the shipping charges for the stuff I used. If I was to make one again the same way I'd have to get $300 min. for it to make out really but that would never fly especially since the titanium has doubled in cost since I did this one.
