What's your most recently acquired grail/special to you Spydie?
Re: What's your most recently acquired grail/special to you Spydie?
It hasn't arrived yet, but my soon to be here PM2 Cruwear is as close to my Spyderco grail as I'm likely to get. Give it an extra 3/8ths or so of blade to fill the handle and make it a lefty compression lock and then it'd be my true Spyderco grail.

Hi,
I have been waiting for my Native 5 fluted titanium since buying it on September 28... it arrived today and I used my trusty little Ladybug to open the package. Almost bowled over by this beauty, the fit and finish of this knife is outstanding, in my eyes, the nicest looking Spyderco ever, (maybe the nicest looking knife ever?) :)
Cheers, John :spyder:

Oh, I forgot the blue Embassy my wife has stashed away as my Xmas present.

You are going to bug out when you finally get that beauty in hand my friend!!
Did she get it at Adam's??? That's where I picked up the green one....I tried to grab the green & blue, but I missed it by a couple minutes!!! He had 3 of them and they were gone in minutes!!
I have around 20 great autos and the Embassy gets more carry time than any of them!! Awesome knife with great action that locks up tight!!
Enjoy it.......how are you going to wait till Xmas brother???
:D

My newly acquired Civilian! Or "ole reliable" aka my Millie!
As a side note, the Military is one tough cookie. I've literally put it through the wringer, and it came out on top.

SuperBlue DFly. I know some people really hate lamination lines, I think they look cool. I missed out on the SB when it dropped and wanted to own at least one piece of that company history. Hands down the sharpest "from the factory" knife I've had. Even after sitting in a box all this time, it was still able to smoothly shave hair.
