Being a New Yorker I know all too well about 9/11. I knew what the towers were on the handle ;-). Those are some gorgeous Spydies. That is some amazing history behind the materials used in them as well.GoldenSpydie wrote: They are World Trade Center commemorative D'allara Rescues. The towers represent the twin towers in NYC, and the inlay is made from steel from WTC building #1.
They were released shortly after the 9-11 terrorist attack in 2001 as a fundraiser for the Orphans and Widows fund. Yesterday, Spyderco released the last 100 of "spare" WTCs. These were apparently kept around to be replacements if someone returned a knife for warranty.

How do you like that G-10 Manbug so far? I gave one to my father-in-law last Christmas and he really seems to like it. I EDC the FRN version in VG-10 and I really seem to prefer it over my beloved Ladybug (which is surprising because I've carried a Ladybug for about the past 12 years).

More weeks like this and I'm definitely going broke. :rolleyes:
Catch of the last two weeks:
UKPK orange G-10 and Paramilitary 2 Elmax
Al Mar Nomad and my third Starmate
Kopa Pacific Blue and the blue Salsa
Böker Treebrand Trapper and G. Sakai Kataba
Spyderco used to sell G. Sakai knives way back in the 90s, the Kataba was in the 1994 Spyderco catalog.
two very nice Case knives

Love the jimping on the dark Manix Marcus.
On my radar: 110V Military, Police 4 and some sweet Rex 45 Military action.

It is not nice to lie GoldenSpydie.
We all know you bought that lot for the M-16 knife, admit it.
Great score by the way congrats.

I am starting to wonder why the Sage has never been up on my radar before now. Looks like a sweet little knife.

The feel of this thing is the nicest Slipjoint I've ever owned. My only gripe is the corner a the pivot end of the spine of the blade.

Very nice choice Brian. I love GEC and their production quality and the Northwoods pieces seem a step above their normal stuff. I hope to see a sheepfoot patterned single blade from them at some point.Donut wrote:The feel of this thing is the nicest Slipjoint I've ever owned.
