Daniel's Spyderco Hoard

[ozspyder]

So many wonderful photographs of so many wonderful blades. I thought I'd add my own meagre collection to the boards.

Been collecting for about a year. My current passion in the :spyder: line are the Kopa, Native (the one that got me started !), Persians, well.... and possibly a few more.

Here they are in no particular order. I hope that these photos will make some people buy more Spyderco's, just like all your photos have done the same for me :D

Enjoy
Dan

Great photos Daniel.

The Kopas look great all lined up next to each other. Keep 'em coming mate. :cool:

Very impressive, collection and pictures.
Please, keep them coming.
I remember, you were talking about Caly3, Dodo........................... :D

[ozspyder]

Good memory, Caly3, UKPK, DKPK, enroute to me in the next week or two

Meanwhile, enjoy the rest of the show. Some of these photos are a bit boring.....but thought I'd share them anyways :)

Here come some more !

Military - CF scales - BG42 bladesteel

This thing is MASSIVE ! I didn't realise how large this folder is. Probably too large for a comfortable EDC for me. Awesome blade, handle and lock.











Very nice looking blade and surprisingly light for its length.

Delica 4 - Pink FRN !!!
The knife that Barbie would EDC if she was allowed to carry :p




I really love the counterpoint of the black clip against the shocking pink scales. Wishing that a black bladed pink handled version would come out. That would be very striking indeed !




Camparison with the Native III

Dan

Knife pictures cannot be boring, not for me. Especially when they very well made, like yours.
Thank you.

[Mr Blonde]

Glad to see another lover of the Pink Delica! Nice contrast with the black handled Native.

"....I thought I'd add my own meagre collection to the boards..."

Doesn't look too meager to me Dan ... :)
Awesome pix btw, the burgundy color of the FRN JessHorn and zdp Calypso Jr really POP ... :cool:
Gotta love the fish-scale texturing of the Calypso jr's ... :)

Micro Dyad :)

Just when you thought the Ladybug was a small and capable blade. Out comes a smaller and dual bladed beauty. For those that carry a PE and SE blade. This is a 2 in 1 package in a gentlepersons clothing.

Dodo

Weird little bugger. I haven't used this one, but I can imagine with the S blade it would be a great box cutter. The handle is one of the most comfortable I have felt. Very ergonomic with deep choils it just seems to fit in the hands like a glove :D

Wire clipit and ball lock finish the package very nicely.

Continuing on the blue theme. Here is one of the blades that has surprised me the most. An excellent blade that looks absolutely deadly should it be deployed and used to full potential.

With one of the weirdest looking handles, I assumed it would be uncomfortable and dismissed it....until I actually bought this knife. Surprisingly comfortable in the hand, and about the right size for me for use in SD situations.

Indexing divots positively position the knife in your hands, and the compression lock is rock solid !
