Spyderco spotted in Ukraine, but which one?
Spyderco spotted in Ukraine, but which one?

That's a video making the rounds of two Ukrainian soldiers showing how their body armor stopped a shell. The second one sure looks like he's got a spyderco attached to the front of his chest, but I can't quite tell which one. Maybe a Military? (how appropriate!)
Anyway, nice to see them out in the field!

Re: Spyderco spotted in Ukraine, but which one?
looks like an older Military with the smaller lanyard hole, T6 screws, and the pivot which screws in from one side only.
Re: Spyderco spotted in Ukraine, but which one?
I wonder if there is a project where we can send Spydercos to Ukranian soldiers.

Jeepers. I would call that a “lucky” knife!
Re: Spyderco spotted in Ukraine, but which one?
An inch to the left, and his Spyderco would have been ruined!
But I'm sure it would have been replaced under warranty.

And the Russian ones.

Spyderco Military S30V by the looks of it.
I guess the rest of you missed it, here let me clear up the confusion.
The reason he is still alive is the round hit the Spyderco MIlitary first and the toughness of the full liner construction and G10 absorbed and deflected much of the kinetic force otherwise he would have been a goner!

Those who are wise sharpen their steel to it's chemistry not their beliefs. "BeggarSo"
Re: Spyderco spotted in Ukraine, but which one?
It is a Military
Re: Spyderco spotted in Ukraine, but which one?

Cool! Nice to see it being used as designed- I’m sure it’ll serve that soldier well.

Re: Spyderco spotted in Ukraine, but which one?
It's an older Military.
It may just be an effect of the poor image quality, but doesn't the blade spine almost look like it curves upward more than the Military's? Almost like the spine of a leaf-shaped blade?

Chinatary??
Re: Spyderco spotted in Ukraine, but which one?
I spotted that too! I thought that was really cool. I own a Spyderco Tenacious, and when I saw that, I was glad that I bought it. I wish I could buy the Para Military, I think that's the one that was in the video. I can't really afford to buy one, but if you send me one Spyderco, I'll make a really good YouTube promo/review video for you!
Re: Spyderco spotted in Ukraine, but which one?
"30mm AP round that failed to penetrate Ukrainian body armor"
The level of stupidity of this statement is mind boggling.
Dude would have been lucky to be found in less that 30 pieces if hit by a 30.
