knife model: PM2 Tanto
The Spyderco PM2 Tanto DLC, my new favorite garage companion. Any time I'm working in the garage on some DIY project, I like to have a stout, trustworthy blade ready at hand to mark trim lines, whittle down a shim, sharpen a pencil....the list goes on. I've been very excited to see the development and release of the Tanto edition Spyderco PM2. It has all the ruggedness of the original, but now comes with a tip profile that's even tougher.
I'd never advise anyone to use a PM2 to chisel wood, mind you....
....but if I really had to, I finally have one that can take it! :D

Knife: C186TI Slysz Bowie Folder
I carry and use numerous Spyderco knives every day, and throughout the year. The one I carry and love the most is the Slysz Bowie. I love everything about this knife --the comfy titanium handle, Chris Reeve integral lock, CTS-XHP steel, wire clip, stone washed blade and handle, all in a size perfect for EDC. So there was little hesitation which knife I feel deserves to be in the Spyderco calendar.
The roof on my kids' old fort/swingset is falling into disrepair. But it has developed a mix of moss and fungus on the roof, that I think, is a beautiful setting for a working bowie. So we got out a ladder and took some photos! My kids helped me by holding the ladder, and then helping me pick the best photo. This actually turned into a fun family experience. Here's what we picked out.
Thank you to the Spyderco crew for continuing this fun contest. Seeing the other images, I'm already excited about hanging this calendar at my desk.

Wow, these are some phenomenal images! This is going to be a great calendar. Thanks in advance to Spyderco for hosting this event again this year. It's a great way to engage the Spyderco forum community.

product/knife: Amalgam
We went hiking above the cloud layer a couple weekends ago, and I couldn't pass up the opportunity to take a shot with my EDC Amalgam. Figured I'd throw it in the ring. I'm still ever grateful that Spyderco took a chance on the Amalgam and brought it to life.
At the very least, I hope people viewing this thread get some enjoyment out of the image!

Re: 2021 Spyderco Forum Calendar Contest!
My submission is The Roadie.
It’s the ultimate 5th pocket carry. Although I carry a medium to large size knife everyday I find the Roadie fit for 90% of my cutting tasks throughout the week. I also have children and feel very confident using it around them as well as letting them use it with the sheepsfoot rounded tip.
