" ... I love de DF2 and have three versions (ZDP-189, H-1, and Orange) but don't like the color of the G-10 version." Pick up a G10 D-fly and dye the scales. Cheaper than a custom, and makes confiscation less of a worry ... I also have to frequent same type of facilities, and even though ...

So far this year, I've only bought 2 Spydies, one sprint, and one at 60% off MSRP. I wasn't sure how the MAP pricing would affect my purchases, but I do have to say, it has taken the fun out of the hunt for Spydies. I always enjoyed unexpectedly finding and jumping on a great sale price. Now, with ...

I am a big fan of VG-10. As others have stated, it feels like a very well-balanced steel to me. I have some older VG-10 Spydercos, and they take and hold an edge just fine, never wished they were anything else. I also like S30V, and while I'm sure there are extremes where S90 or S110 would perform b...

Definitely:
Sage 5
PM3
Lil Native - compression

Possibly:
Ouroboros

As a spydie-holic and member of the forum I am interested in these discussions, but sadly I doubt the Amsterdam meet is in my future ... a Golden meet, while far more likely is a stretch ... now a North East meet ... or a South East meet ... or an ANY East meet ... THAT I would most definitely do! L...

Welcome Chris.
Great start ... and no worries on any of those ... a couple sharpenings and there will be no deviation ... with the exception of your additional Spydies that is ...

Seriously. This one will ne missed.

As others have said, the detent is fine. I have never had one open unless I opened it. I carry one most days, tip up.

The real fear (again as previously noted) is that you'll become hooked on them ... because you probably will ...

Welcome! :)

I have a ZDP-189 Ladybug on my keychain since four years, but this is the best keychain knife Spyderco ever built: http://www.bladecommunity.de/gallery/userImages/8b/14772-8bb1ee87.jpg ^^^ ... man, if only ... ^^^ Actually ON my key ring is a grasshopper, but in my change pocket is a Grey Sprint Je...

The Solo is only a quasi-Spyderco, but it's a few years older than the SS ATS-55 Dragonfly This leads me to a question (no intent to hijack, thought readers of this thread would be best able answer) ... how old are the Solo models? I have a G-10 pushbutton lock Solo (SO05?), and have wondered how o...

I try not to collect for just for the sake of collecting. For every knife I own, there is a situation, real or imagined, where it works better than any of my other knives. This requirement keeps my total investment down to a reasonable level. I like to say I'm doing this ... but it's that whole ima...

I flick for fun sometimes (depends on the knife) - but just hard enough to fully engage the lock, it's a game I play … I never buy a knife based on flick-ability … Some knives I never flick, just the ones that "lend" themselves to it … Some might call me old … I've been called worse. Get o...

+1, same story, except mine's blue … a red one would be cool.

5 most used, (not just carried and/or fondled):

PM2 S30V
Caly 3
Sage 1
G10 D-Fly
ZDP Manbug

It's always surprising to me how hard it is to derive these lists …

I bet the under-dog is a Cadet :)

Why yes, it is … … always have a Cadet with me … probably the most bang for its size of any knife out there, IMO …
