C55gpe Starmate

Post by fellyjr »

I just scored this fine beauty last night. I think this one is going to achieve the "Gotta have more than one" status. A truly fine work of art it is! Let's hear from all you Starmate owners out there in Spyderville, and those that admire the shape and lines of this lovely creation by Robert Terzuola and the Great Spyder Factory.

Although I own a C55GP Bob Terzuola Starmate I can't understand the hype around this knife. Beautiful - yes, but others too. And for EDC I prefer as large folder the Military.

My congrats, fellyjr - I feel you are happy!

BTW: You buy one knife after the other but you always use the same cheap plastic background ... :D

I probably will be there one of the days but not sure which.
Are you helping Betty out again?
Do you know if they are going to have the knives only section like they did last time?

Felly, I don't think there will be the same number of knife dealers there...but don't know until I get down there. I will be helping here on Sunday...her normal helper will be with her today but not tomorrow. :)

I'm going down in a bit...if you don't go down today, let me know and I'll fill you in on what I find down there...or PM your list that you're hunting for. I can look for you. :D

Felly,

Nice detailed shots. It sound like the trip was worth it to get a beauty like that.

Ahhhh, the Starmate. Very nice. I don't have one now, but I have had 3 different ones in the past. I could never bring myself to carry them, so I traded them off. Oh well.
Nice pic's!

While I may not take the opportunity in every thread you post to tell you how much I admire your photography....please take it as a "given" I very much admire the pictures you post of each Spyderco knife in your collection, and think all your photos to be worthy of praise ! You are a skilled photographer.

I like the background...a lot of us seem to have our signature photo backgrounds or styles. Kinda fun. ;)
