Re: USCG Orange Autonomy
Very nice, I have a black one but it would be nice to have the orange to go with it. Where did you snag that one?
Happy to be part of this great forum and group of down to earth spyderco addicts, Thanks Sal and gang.

Thanks! I'm thoroughly enjoying it. I just can't get over the build quality. Everything about this knife screams quality, durability and reliability.Pinetreebbs wrote:Now that's what I'm talking about! Congratulations!

Re: USCG Orange Autonomy
Nice felly! That's a great one to have, I'm sure there won't be many civilians with the CG version. I'm throughly enjoying my black one. Is the only difference the G10 color and lack of safety?

It also doesn't come with a pocket clip because it was designed to fit inside a special pocket on the CG vest however the clip on the Manix 2 LW is the same one as used on the Autonomy and readily available at the SFO.

Re: USCG Orange Autonomy
One thing that confuses me is that I'd expect Spyderco to have the NSN number engraved on the knife. This is common practice for most NSN listed knives and other combat tools. I noticed in the 2015 catalog that the Opfocus NSN listings did not include the Autonomy either, and Spyderco has several knives on the NSN list, although they don't advertise this as openly as some other companies. I'm sure the Autonomy is scheduled through the GSA but I'm curious if it has an NSN / NATO listing, and if so, what it is. I can't find it anywhere.

Re: USCG Orange Autonomy
That would be great. We have all anticipated this knife for so long I would love to hear any and all information about it and its development. I for one was pretty certian Spyderco had gotten out of the auto game for good after disco'ing the Citadel and Embassy (and Bi-Fold).fellyjr wrote:Maybe Sal could shed some light on the subject.hudsonhawk wrote:One thing that confuses me is that I'd expect Spyderco to have the NSN number engraved on the knife.

I know Kristi's role in OpFocus has her dealing with NATO/GSA type stuff so she may be able to weigh in too.

Re: USCG Orange Autonomy
I sincerely hope the Autonomy isn't the last auto they plan on making. I'd love to see a PE version also in blue G10 with M390.hudsonhawk wrote:I for one was pretty certian Spyderco had gotten out of the auto game for good after disco'ing the Citadel and Embassy (and Bi-Fold).

Re: USCG Orange Autonomy
I hope so too. When the Citadel and Embassy came out, I was at a point in my life where that kind of money for a knife was nowhere near sensible or possible. Fortunately I can splurge every now and then now, and I bought an Autonomy the second they came out. My grail knife will always be a black embassy but for now the Autonomy is an absoulte masterpiece of engineering and production.fellyjr wrote:I sincerely hope the Autonomy isn't the last auto they plan on making.

I am really hoping it is successful enough that they can play with some other blade styles, handle colors, etc. I'm with you, I'd like to see a PE version of this.

Re: USCG Orange Autonomy
I've never owned an Embassy but I've had many Citadels. I hope to find an Embassy one of these days. They seldom seem to come up for sale.

Re: USCG Orange Autonomy
I'd love a Citadel too. I've never had the pleasure of owning either. The black on black with the contoured handle is really nice looking. I rarely see those either but I'm always on the lookout.fellyjr wrote:I've never owned an Embassy but I've had many Citadels. I hope to find an Embassy one of these days.

Re: USCG Orange Autonomy
You really can't go wrong with ANY Spyderco automatic. They're all very high quality knives. I'm especially fond of the Orange Autonomy!hudsonhawk wrote:I'd love a Citadel too.

I collect the orange models, if anyone has a extra one of these, let me know.
I've seen a lot of models but never this one, didn't know they made autos either, very nice!
