I would feel absolutely worthless if you shot me with a pink LCP, assuming I were still alive to have such feelings of emasculation. It would probably hurt worse than the bullet itself. I seriously hope we never find ourselves on opposite sides of a spy vs spy fight.

As for the question at hand, I agree that the Civilian is a pretty gruesome looking blade. I do want to give a nod to the ATR though, especially serrated. It's a pretty BAMF. That reminds me, I have a fun photo to post.

Catcherman is a pretty mean slicer when you hold in at the bottom of the handle!

The most frightening Spydie I have seen recently is a Rubicon being sold by a dealer over here for 500 euro's ($560) :eek:

It was pretty scary when I dropped my Yo2 and it stuck deep into the floor with a resounding THUNK!
Good that I have fast reflexes and know how to shuffle my feet when necessary ;)

Agreed, but my Gayle Bradley stuck in my foot instead of the floor when I dropped it! I didn't think I need to jump out of the way as it was closed when it fell, however it managed to open all the way and lock somehow on it's way down. That's the only thing I'd change on the knife, stronger detent, much stronger.
If you're wielding the sharpest tool in the shed, who's going to say that you aren't...?

Ouch. I usually try to break the fall of dropped things with my foot to prevent damage, like cell phones and knifes, but I hope I have time to think twice in the future in case one decides to open up on the way down :eek:

and any other ideas to most awesome looking spyder?

I've owned the Szabo, its nearly impossible to open one-handed. Also, when you do open it one-handed, the massive compression lock pinches the heck out of your hand.

I don't know what would be more frightening, worrying about your feet or the tip breaking off.

I guess maybe the tip breaking off :)

How about the tip breaking off in your foot?
