Hey Wartstein, my friend. :)
Thanks for starting this cool thread, and I’m honoured you enjoyed the other Pairs thread I started.
Sorry I haven’t posted sooner here, but I wanted to include pictures, and I’m having trouble doing that at the moment. (Related to the phone I use to post with, not with the image hosting site.)
Anyway, it’s been very interesting to see what ‘Others’ people here pair with their Spydies.
I like lots of different kinds of knives - kitchen knives, traditional slipjoints, choppers and bushcraft tools, professional cutting tools like fish and meat processing blades and so on, as well as my Spydies.
I often like to consider the versatility a pairing of blades will offer in a particular task.
Like others here, I often have a Swiss Army Knife paired with a Spydie, for the tools they offer.
Mostly that’s a Soldier that my brother brought back as a gift from Switzerland for me. It’s also sometimes a Swisstool or the alox Pioneer or Electrician. A Classic is never far away, as I use that for the tweezer and toothpick mainly, although I’ve popped many a bottletop with the screwdriver/file.
When I’m hunting, I usually pair the Stretch with a custom Loveless style drop point in S30V, made by Adam Parker, the president of the Australian Knifemakers Guild.
My traditional slipjoint pairing is usually a Sheffield made Lambsfoot knife which I can use in more urban, social type scenarios.
If I’m just doing some camping, I’ll usually have my Becker BK9 along with the Spydie of the day. I’ll often use this in the garden as well, along with one of my Salts.
When cooking, I like to pair either my PE or SE Z-Cut with one of my Japanese kitchen knives - generally a Shigeharu funayuki made in Kyoto.
