Spyderco Forums

We have seen a TON of Delica, Endura, Native, and PM2 knives. What are your favorite "non-traditional" or one-off Spyderco designs? Pics welcome

swick :)

Schempp Bowie. Just so unique with a peculiar ergonomics. I would love to get my hands on more knives from Mr. Schempp, I hope more will be brought back as exclusives. I had the Cruwear Tuff, but kinda did not work for me (it is otherwise a wonderfully made piece)

The Lum Chinese is beautiful IMO. I'd love to see more of the Ayoob Massad Spyderco. I have always wanted one.

Yojumbo is a pretty funky looking design too, but it works really well for EDC IMO.

For something truly unique:
The Vrango! Sadly, people could not get past the unique, but very useful blade shape. I have one with EDC scars and all, just not handy for a picture.

Easily the Kris! Can't add a photo just now, maybe later.

The PPT Perrin is my favorite Spyderco of all time.

I don’t think the Lil Native qualifies as “unique” enough.

My next favorite “unique” Spyderco is easily the Squarehead! It’s one of my favorite designs from one of my favorite knife designers as a collaboration with my favorite knife company. Hard to beat that!

That’s way too hard and i haven’t owned many unique Spydercos. I’ll limit it to just what I’ve used, so the Spyderco ClipiTool serrated version.
It is weirdly good.

If I otherwise don’t limit my choices, I’d never be able to choose. I like recurves and fixed blades, so those two things already make most of my choices pretty niche for Spyderco.
Maybe I’ll go with the Whale Rescue for the sake of my appreciation of the company making such a conservation-minded tool.

Ooh, I haven't been around Spyderco long enough to know my history, so just from what I know.
Favorite one I own: Kapara or Watu. Though I guess the Watu is more unique.
Favorite that I don't own: probably the Yojimbo 2. I don't know anything else like it, but it looks like it just works.

That is a good 1 that I know. Very slim which I like. I'm sure it hides away in the pocket.

That is such a tough question I won’t be able give a single answer. So this is how I’ll answer. for knives I don’t have In my collection right now I’d pick either the original Worker, or the scorpius. Out of the knives I do currently own, either the cricket or the kopa. Apologies for cheating !

the reason i like spyderco is because they are already unique in the knife world. looking at my collection, it might be difficult to even tell most of them are from the same company. the most carried in my collection are:

manix
spydiechef
ikuchi
yojimbo
caribbean sheepsfoot se
pacific salt se h1
resilience
ladybug hawkbill salt

in my mind, these are all different enough from each other to warrant a spot in the rotation while also remaining functional edc knives for pretty much any of my daily tasks.

Of the ones I own, the Sliverax gets my vote. I also like the PPT and Yojimbo 2, though the Yo2 has had more than a handful of variants so I don't know if it still qualifies as unique.

Never owned one, and it is about as complete of a departure from my normal knife preferences as can be, but the Dodo is a favorite of mine. A spyderco collecting friend in college had one and I always liked it, but just never wanted to spend the money on one back then. Wish I had.

We have several flippers of which Sliverax is fantastic as are the Tropen and Amalgam. For fixed blades Zoomer and the Reverse are both outstanding. Pics when I have a moment.

Dodo. Best package opener of all time. I will walk across the shop to pick up the Dodo to open a box, rather than use a knife right next to me. That's not weird is it?

Hundred Pacer, Kiwi 4 and Watu.

Vivi - Yojumbo is the bottom knife. What's the name of the first knife? Looks like a Manix...
