Spyderco Stainless Steel Handles
A few of my favorite Spyderco folders with good ol' stainless steel handles. I still think they have a worthwhile role in everyday carry.

Re: Mr Blonde's Bunch
All stainless (as in stainless handle and stainless blade :) ) knives are things of understated beauty IMO.

Re: Mr Blonde's Bunch
I agree Larry. The craftsmanship that goes into shaping metal is an art. I have a friend that's edc'd a Police just like that for 20 years. I love the heft of it

Hmmm... How do you keep the scales so flawless if you carry the knives? :confused:

Re: Mr Blonde's Bunch
The lighting helps to 'camouflage' scratches a lot, but I also carry IWB, so I don't usually get scratches from keys or coins in a pocket. Also, the stainless surface an be fixed up if you like with some gentle sanding and polishing.
Re: Mr Blonde's Bunch
Had to google the meaning of IWB, but found it. Thanks. That makes sense. :)

Re: Spyderco C24 BlackHawk
Ah the days when the U.S.A. were not yet on planet Earth... :eek: :D
j/k. What a simple but great design. I envy you and pity myself that I'm not a spyder nut for that long...

I kind of liked that detail as well!
Don't pity too much, sooner or later someone wants to liquidate their old collection!

Spyderco Amsterdam Meet Prototype Pictures
We all know the Amsterdam Meet got canceled, but I did take some prototype pictures...to test my mobile photo studio. I only use it once a year for the meet, so I set it up at home first for a few test runs to see if everything works. These are the result of that test. I guess in a way these qualify as 'prototype pictures' .
I posted a few more on my site.

Spyderco FB05 Temperance
I recently found some old video from a few years ago, of my Spyderco FB05 Temperance. This is truly a classic Spyderco fixed blade design. I edited the clips together and decided to dig out my Temperance for another round of carry and use during this lockdown.

Re: Mr Blonde's Bunch
Very nice! I wish they'd re-run the temperance 2. Nearly $400 on eBay right now.
I'm happiest with Micarta and Tool Steel.
