Great photo Creepo. The view through all of those Spydie holes makes me think of that meat grinder tunnel from Event Horizon! A very mesmerising image!

Knife: Green Endura 4 FFG, C10FPGR

This Endura was my first Spyderco knife, acquired about one year ago. It's the knife 'bit' me, and got me into knives. This knife is my favorite one in the spyderco line-up, since it's not too pricey, yet offers great, premium steel in a reliable package. My first 'good' knife, but definitely not my last.

Lightweight G-10 paired up with S30V creates the perfect combination for everyday carry. When a task arises, big or small, the Paramilitary 2 will perform with flying colors. This is why I chose to collect every single model no matter how much grief I am getting from the lovely one. I didn't just buy every model to store in my safe, I bought them to show it off. That is why I choose this picture.

Crap, thought I read portrait instead of landscape. I'll fix it tonight!


Fixed!

Submission Requirements:

1) Please include a 2-5 sentence (max) description of your image.
2) Image must include a Spyderco product(s) or logo.

I captured this picture early one evening after I noticed a beam of colorful light shining onto our living room floor. It turns out that the prism-like glass in our front door projects a perfect radiance of color when the setting sun shines through the glass. I thought that this picture would serve to highlight the Micro Dyad Black Pearl’s most noteworthy feature—its beautiful dual blades. This knife holds a special place in my collection seeing that it was the very first Spyderco knife given to me by my wife.

3) You must include the model name of the product(s) used in the image and your Forum name:

Model Name: Micro Dyad Black Pearl ~ C112P&SBP

The Caly 3.5 is very comfortable for carving/whitling. It makes excellent "fuzz sticks" for fire starting.

Hello, this is my first post on the forum, but I hope that new members also can take a chance in the contest

On my photo are my two most carried knives, Endura 4 and Delica 4. Durability, lightness and flat pocket carry - that makes them best EDC knives ever!
Endura and Delica series knives are one of the best selling knives in Spyderco's lineup. Well done Spyderco!

Model Name: Spyderco Endura 4 FRN Combo Edge, Spyderco Delica 4 FRN Plain Edge

Here is the Bug. Sometimes, when you are in your workshop, painting something with details, you just don't want to see a bug getting stuck in the drying paint. But this one can become real handy to scrape tiny details et pieces of wood prior to the first layer of varnish.... The only Bug, the only one you wish was on you!

Knife: Spyderco Ti-Mil Fluted Military ~ C36TIFP

One of the sweetest knives Spyderco ever produced. I was amazed by the quality of the fluted TI. This gives an amazing finish to the knife. The nice materials and finish combined in an already epic knive make it a must have. I photographed this knife with a steril white background because I think everything else would stand in the way of this true beauty. I opted for the less is more approach. Enjoy!

Spydernut, Awesome pic!!! I would also add that the prism color effect also plays up the colors in the black pearl scales (even though you cant see them in the pic). I dont carry my Micro-Dyad much, but when I do, I always marvel at the workmanship in such as small package. Its like everything good about Spyderco represented in a mini-package!!

Great pic. Hope to see it in the calendar.

This is just a light, fun picture in my front yard. I gathered some local leaves to set the backdrop.

[SpyderNut]

I appreciate your kind words, Pneumothorax. I also love this little knife. (This is for two main reasons: one, because of the Micro Dyad's unique design and superior craftsmanship, and two, because I'm a also a nut for the Pirates of the Caribbean movie franchise ).

I discovered this neat array of colors as I walked across my living room one evening a few weeks ago. I thought to myself, "Hmmm. This might make a good picture." I quickly grabbed the camera and tried my best to line up the Dyad in the light. (It was kind of tough because the beam kept moving!). On a side note, I'm pretty confident my wife thought I was nuts when she found me lying face down on the carpet with the camera as I tried to take "yet another" picture of my knives.

Model: C158TIP Techno

The Techno combines modern, progressive and artistic design elements with an organic feel which is immediately pleasing to both the eye and hand.

The Blue G10 back spacer inspired me to contrast these attributes with some vintage Blue and White marbles that belonged to my Father when he was child.

Thank you for the opportunity.

i can't get my entry to upload. is there a way to email an entry directly to the moderator or whoever reviews the photos?

[DeathBySnooSnoo]

Ok so here goes.

This is my Meerkat, I was a little unsure about what to do with it when I got it. I was doing some general repairs around the house one day and happen to see it on a table and so grabbed it in case I needed a knife. Turned out I did...and this little guy has become my odd jobs around the house knife. It is handy and fun and I find that it works really well for fine work.

[Minibear453]

jackrl98, I do not know who to email, but as for posting it on this site, you first need to put the photo onto a photo sharing site- I use photobucket. Then, you find the direct link to the photo (in photobucket you mouse over the image and there's a little drop down with all the links.) Copy that link, click on the 'Insert Image' tab on the Spyderco Forum reply box, it's at the top, 3rd from the right. Paste your image, and click ok. For me, I usually need to uncheck the box that says 'Retrieve remote file and reference locally'. I'm sorry if this is redundant, but maybe it'll help.

Originally my idea for the photo was a still life in marine debris ; old fishing line, poly-pro line, cargo netting, anything plastic and so while taking the photo's I lost my daylight and most of the shots were out of focus from a slow shutter speed and so while walking off the beach I saw the moon over the Pacific and a palm tree was in the way and thus the picture. I have been scuba diving since'72 and having a quality knife at hand is very important underwater and on land.

The Rock Lobster has always struck me as pure art. I love everything about it but the blade shape is what puts it over the top for me.
