Counting my many fixed blades I have about 25-30 Spydercos. I was looking through my collection today and I realized that I really like almost all of the models I own because I usually cull out anything that doesn't work for me. I took a critical look at my collection though to see if there was any model in there that I really just didn't like carrying...and I found one. For me it is the Native. I don't dislike the knife at all and it actually ticks off a lot of boxes that are important to me, but for some reason the model has just never resonated with me and I've never spent much time carrying it. Well, that is going to change. At least for this week. I am going to carry the Native everyday this week and perform as many tasks as I can with it. I feel like I haven't really given the model a proper chance so I'm going to give it one more go. I don't expect to feel radically different about the design by the end of the week but I have been surprised more than once by Spydercos that I didn't think I liked until I carried and used them for awhile, so we'll see.
So here is my challenge to you guys. Go through your collection and find that one Spyderco that you just never really connected with. Wipe the dust off that thing and stick in your pocket and carry and use it for a week. I think it would be cool if those who want to participate can post and say what Spydie you're giving another chance to and we can keep the thread updated as we carry and use these "least loved" Spydies. I bet at least one of us will have an epiphany before the challenge is over. Let's find out.
Here's a pic to illustrate both the knife I will be carrying and how lazy I am.
