Carried it for a few days now, and happy to say this is definitely going to be a classic.
I'd eventually like to see it in a more wear-resistant steel, but the design on this is really, REALLY nice.
I actually like it a good bit more than the sliverax.

Re: Spyderco Ouroboros
I’ve an Ouroboros on the way. It was a coin-flip between this and the P4, which may have to wait until 2019, now, unfortunately.

Re: Spyderco Ouroboros
Well, my Ouroboros finally arrived today.
So far, I’m impressed. A lot of thought has clearly gone into it.
And the action is as smooth as anything! What is it with these internet reviews? First of all my Ti Chap lock doesn’t hurt my thumb at all, and now I find the Ouroboros isn’t running on washers made of broken glass .....

Re: Spyderco Ouroboros
It's a neat design for sure. I look forward to Paul Alexander's designs and love my Sliverax.
I can't help but wonder if the Ouroboros had been made in Taichung rather than Seki it would have had better quality materials for the same or less money.
