Couldn't pass this up for $25 on sale.

Same! Couldn’t pass it up! It’s bigger than I usually like, but the price was right. I’m going to at least give it some pocket time to see what I think of it. :D

Nice combo! I just got my GB2 a couple weeks ago and am really loving it! Feels like a tank. And the M4 is my favorite. Accidentally scraped the sidewalk yesterday while trimming the hedges down low. The edge blunted a tad bit on the tip where it hit, but no chipping at all, and it took no time at all to fix on the med side of my doublestuff.

I like med to large knifes. I didn’t know the resilience was so big until the other day when I purchased it and actually handled one. It makes my military seem small. About like a ManixXL. I really really like it.

Couldn't agree more, it's definitely a tank...but an elegant tank! I don't mind the liner lock, but I know that's a feature that keeps a lot of people away from this knife. Had it been manufactured with a back lock or compression lock, I could see this being one of those production models that's tough to keep in stock.

This knife already kind of is hard to keep in stock. It’s been out of stock at most places for a little bit now! At least a couple months! :eek:

I got mine from knifeworks two weeks ago. Was the only place I could find with one in stock.

Ohhh, I didn't even realize that! Probably because when I got mine last summer it was available everywhere. Well, good...it deserves to be tough to find :D

What kept me away for so long was the negative reviews concerning the liner lock. I found that it doesn’t hurt my thumb like I have read, and it isn’t hard at all for me to access. Another negative thing I read, that isn’t true for me. Although I do agree that a different lock would have propelled it into more hands.

And also the laminate cf/g10 kept me away. I didn’t like the idea of non solid cf. Seemed like a cheapo option to me. But now that I actually have held and used it. I think it is my new favorite. I love the bumpy smoothness. It looks phenomenal. And I’m not so worried about dropping it and having it crack. Plus solid cf costs way more.

I've never understood the bap rap cf/g10 laminate gets.

Mine was a case of arrogance. Based solely on the opinions of others.

And now I am wondering/hoping for it to be an option with golden models.

I’m done hijacking this thread now. Apologies :o

Awesome pic zippifish!

I spied a knife clipped to a sailor’s pocket at work this morning.



I asked him what knife he was rocking and ...



Turns out he has half a dozen Spyders. :)

Always nice to spot another fan in the wild :D

That's pretty cool. Always fun finding a fellow Spyderco fan out in the wild. I spotted someone with a DLC Military at work a couple months back.

It certainly is fellas. This is the second one now on Base. A while back one of the Clearance Diver's had an Atlantic Salt in his pocket. :)
