First model with Spyderco Hole license

#1

Post by Burchtree »

Got my license last year (need to renew in August), but didn't do a model with the hole until a few months ago. I dubbed this little blade the "Chubby" and it is 3 3/4 closed and is about 6 inches open with a 2 1/4 blade of 3/16 hollow-ground 1095. Has a .125 ti lock and G-10 with rayskin inserts. I didn't really want to mark up the blade so my maker's mark is only on the ti pocket clip.

I hope I did the hole justice! :)

(The top one is an unnamed model that went to the Blade show)

Super cool knives, Burchtree. I love that big belly on the "Chubby" :) It looks like a great slicer. And what is the little cleaver in the second pic? I've never seen anything quite like it.

The "cleaver-ish" blade is a Dao folder.

Burchtree,

Great knives. I love the "Chubby". Got any pics of it closed?

I think it's real cool that Spyderco gives people a "license to drill" (under certain rules). I love seeing legal perfectly round holes in blades.

Cool forum name too. The Burch tree is one of my favorite trees and I have fond memories of them as a kid.
