Spyderco Knives in the shape of the blade is often referred to as "crocodiles". I decided to illustrate this similarity.

Pictured is a Photoshop creation I made using three individual pictures I snapped of some of my favorite spydies. Included is the Navaja, Gayle Bradley, and Lum Chinese Carbon Fiber Nishijin. The images were originally photographed on a white board/background, then transported digitally onto a gold carbon fiber pattern as a way to honor what is to come in the future, new models utilizing the golden weave carbon fiber material such as the upcoming Szabo folder. Generally speaking, it shows off a fun, visually appealing, lightweight material which many Spydie fanatics adore.

Though it was designed for the UK, this Spyderco hasn't made it more that 20 miles from the Golden factory. Taken in the foothills outside Boulder with the Flat Irons as a backdrop on a cold November morning, this photo demonstrates that the UKPK is just as suited to the trails of Colorado as it is to the streets of London.

My entry is an Evrina Kopa, which Sal was kind enough to have scrimmed for me by Linda Karst-Stone to demonstrate how well Evrina took scrimshaw. I chose an owl as the subject and left the rest up to her. I think autumn leaves make an appropriate background for the design she came up with. Photo was taken several years ago and has been altered to remove my Collectors Club number.

My submission is the Gray Paramilitary 2 Sprint Run. I like all my Spyderco knives, but this knife stands out in the collection. The snake in the photo is a Gray banded Kingsnake. I thought this would make a unique pair from a couple of my favorite hobbies. No photoshop here.

@ Deacon... I like the pic, but I LOVE the knife.

All terrific pictures so far

I completely deleted my previous post on page 1 so hopefully I'm still eligible.

I was playing around with some past pictures today and this just popped out

It's a Centofante3 I just recently obtained. Beautiful 2mm thick VG-10 blade with a hollow grind, slices like a demon Super light and comfortable, perfect for everyday. The image turned out well with a nice contrast

hey guys,
i fell in love with the leafstorm the first time i handled one.
it fits my hand perfectly and is a fantastic slicer due to the hollow grind.
the natural g10 scale is my favorite color, and this is my first titanium framelock.
what makes it special, is that it was my fathers day gift from my wife of 23 years, my son, and his girlfriend.

1.Please include a 2-5 sentence (max) description of your image - why you chose the product(s) featured, the history of the image, etc.; something to give us a better understanding of your submission.

One of the MANY things about Spyderco that amazes me, is the way they listen to their consumers, coupled with providing something for everyone. This becomes readily apparent with one of their historical, tried and true folders; the Spyderco Delica. I fell in love with their great edc capabilities [light, comfortable, great steel, smooth and easy operation], and having almost all sorts of colors and types under the sun. Allowing for a knife for any day of the week to fit your mood! And the end product was my inspiration for this picture. If you don't get the image of the sun, then I hope it at least invoked a sense of love!

2) Image must include a Spyderco product(s)
3) You must include the model name of the product(s):

SPYDERCO DELICA4 BLACK BLADE ~ C11BBK
SPYDERCO DELICA4 FLAT GROUND FRN ~ C11F - Blue

This is the coolest blade I own IMO. I love the lock, the scale color, and the size/ergonomics.
I wanted to present it in a more "What exactly is going on here?" light.

I have got a 10 MP camera and the rules state the following...

Final Printed Image Guidelines (ABSOLUTE MINIMUM – Images should be no smaller than this):
Width: 3450 px
Height: 2700 px
Resolution: 300
(This translates to 11.5” x 9” to account for a ¼ inch bleed)
Image must be available in high resolution at 300dpi at end of contest.

I can manage a picture that is 3888 x 2592...does that mean that I cannot take part?
