What's your favorite Non-Spydie to Carry?

[araneae]

So, I am just wondering what everyone's favorite Non-Spyderco knife to carry/use.

I'll start by showing you mine. I when I got into knife collecting I started out collecting USA made Schrades. I picked up a Schrade Lake and Walker and fell in love with it. It is the first knife I decided I "needed" back-ups of. I currently have 3 in Combo edge and one in Plain (the plain ones are hard to find). There is also a holy grail version in BG-42. It was designed by Michael Walker & Ron Lake. Its got a nice full hollow grind, and takes a good edge. It has a frame lock and an early version of the LAWKS system currently in use by CRKT. The pocket clip carries real low. I just like this knife for some reason.

Sadly, USA Schrade closed in 2004 and the name was purchased by someone who chose to move production to China. The knives will never be the same in my opinion. I think if they made more knives like this they might not have closed. :(

So what about you??? Show your non:spyder: favorite.

Only thing I carry when I'm not carrying my Spydies is the Sebenza. However, more often than not a Spydie accompanies it.

[buferoe]

Hi There,

[MANIXWORLD]

[Manix Guy 2]

SOG Arcitech . MG2

[TVOSK]

For me its the Benchmade Presido Auto or the Benchmade Osborne....both are solid knives..

[foxquads]

I've been carrying a Victorinox Adventurer for over 20 years as I need the can opener, tweezers and screwdriver regularly...(I didn't know about Spydies until recently..:( ) Recently I retired my old Adventurer and bought a Boy Scout...(Same knife only has a serrated blade (!) like a :spyder: !)...It was also almost $10.00 less...
Recently after being bit by a :spyder: , I have been carrying a D-2 Military too.. I fell like this covers it all...Then occasionally I carry the Harpy, and the D'Allara, and Delica, and the endura, and the ........Oh well ; You all know...(!)

Probably either this Kershaw Leek:

Or the Kershawk quince Splinter.

http://dedguy.net/images/collection/2007/splinter01.jpg


I really love the narrow slim blades. Something Spyderco doesn't do a lot of, I think due to the neccesity for the spyderhole. Also part of the reason I lust after the original Jess Horn so much.

I believe that Rick is using Duratech 20 CV. Thank you for the compliment!

[KaliGman]

Recently, while carrying a Military or Gunting, I have carried my custom Lava by STR (Black and Tan G-10), backed up with an Emerson Combat Karambit folder, and a Boker MPT or Emerson Fixed Blade Karambit. Sometimes other bladed stuff gets carried as well:rolleyes:. Other than that, mostly I am carrying a Glock 21 with Surefire X200 light attached (it's winter and I can conceal the big stuff easier than in the summer:D)

[Chucula]

Well, I always carry my D2 millie when out in "civilized" world, but when I go to the woods to mess around, I leave the millie at home and carry a FBM. It is honestly my favorite non-spydie to carry :D
http://img215.imageshack.us/img215/9426/fbm004bk4.jpg
Very rarely, I will carry a SAK of some sort--Farmer or Cybertool 29 or Huntsman.

EDIT: Well...FBM is sold, but now I have a CRK Large Sebenza. Guess that is my new non-spydie favorite :D

[GradeMaker]

Recently, while carrying a Military or Gunting, I have carried my custom Lava by STR (Black and Tan G-10),

KaliGman - I'd really like to see a pic of your Lava :cool: - have you posted it previously?

Heres my favorite NON-:spyder: and its my EDC along with one of my spydies in rotation... This is a SOG Flash 2..

[BOK]

Large Classic S30V Sebenza. Truly a remarkable piece of cutlery.

[araneae]

Thanks for all the replies, keep 'em coming!

[i.v]

I always have my STR Ouparator and a Vic Farmer (sometimes Vic Pioneer) as well.

[Michael Cook]

:spyder: A CRKT "plan B" or a bokker subclaw, both gifted to me from my main MBC training partner. :spyder:

[bh49]

Such thing doesn't exist.
Why would I carry anything non-Spyderco?

[Billy]

For two years, I switched back and forth between my Adventura and my TiNi Leek. Haven't carried the Leek in a few months and the only other EDC non-Spydie I own is a Wharcom. Mostly though, it's 3 or 4 :spyder: 's in my pockets.:D

[Chewy]

Left pocket always has a Bic and a Victorinox Ranger. Here's a borrowed shot of it:

http://www.swissknifeshop.com/photos/SA53861-2T.jpg

It may not be the best steel, but it sure comes in handy!

My right pocket might have a Buck Alpha Dorado 271, Spyderco Native, or Byrd Robin, or Fallkniven U2 in it. Just depends on the day.

[Jenner 515]

If not a Spydie then either one of about two dozen slipjoints or...

A Kershaw Talon

[GMArthur]

If there isn't a Para or Caly III in my pocket then most likely it will be a Benchmade 732 Ares. Best knife BM has ever made IMO.

It would have to be this Kirby Lambert Whar.......but it is paired with a SE Caly3 :D

I love the tip control a wharnie blade gives you.

http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w49/So-Lo-Kustoms/IMG_0717.jpg

I also carry this ....but again its paired with a Spydie :rolleyes: Either this Spin, or the SE Caly3 above. I guess I need a SE cricket, so I can rock a SE on the off SE days. :D

http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w49/So-Lo-Kustoms/IMG_0664.jpg

[Monocrom]

Currently I carry a Leatherman Micra. I'm on my third one, since rust was an issue on my other two. Got a black sleeve designed for it. Hopefully won't have any issues with rust from now on.

If it happens again, I'll just start carrying my Gerber Shortcut.

[bluemist]

BM Lum 740 Dejavoo, usually for downtown or church as it is a low rider and not very noticible. It is a wicked smooth opener and VERY sharp w/ absolutely zero blade play, and it is one of 3-4 BM's that I like the looks of.

SAK on keychain.. that's about it. I just picked up a new Sogwinder I for 38 bucks, a hell of a deal, I will be carrying that loose in a back pocket (loose of course as there is no clip)

[Kaizen]

Other than my Leatherman Wave which is always with me, I would say my Emerson CQC-14 Snubby.

[The Mastiff]

S90V Socom elite like this one http://www.newgraham.com/detail.aspx?ID=6348

I usually carry one of my Custom Buck 110s'.

[RLR]

Sebenza - Classic, large or small depending on where I'm at.
Case - CV Copperhead, CV Stockman or CV Peanut depending on where I'm going.

[rocketbomb]

SAK Farmer gets a lot of pocket time.
Kershaw Leek gets carried from time to time, just so it doesn't feel completely forgotten.

[Orlando De Free]

For now it's a Fallkniven P-3 Cocobolo for cutting food and a Kershaw leek TiZDP for everything else. When carrying Spydies it's a Caly3 CF ZDP and a Viele II respectively.

[Sniper1]

Thank's for the welcome Percival, I've been reading the forum for some time now and decided to bug in. I'm a big fan of Kershaw Avalanche's, G-10, S60V steel and very fast to deploy.
I have three in various models. I carry my Avalanche everywhere possible, and have at least one spydie with me.:D

[JaM]

A "ruby" victorinox hutsman, with a small maglight attached to it.

I's always in the pocket of my jacket, in RFP it's either a UKPK or a Lil'temp PE, backpocket an E4 SE ZDP or E4 SS PE.

Basically, a Vic and a Spyder.:)

[Cuccos19]

From May to November in 2007 I used to carry the CS Pro Lite. It is sturdy big knife and I love it, but it's discontinued so I switched to the G10 Cara Cara. This is my EDC from that, rotating with my Police SS PE.

When I feel that I will need something really big, I usually take my 5inch Vaquero. It got the Boye dent home made version, just for the safety...;)

Anyway there are my SAK, CRKT Bear Claw and one of my Mora knives in my backback. At least 2 of them any time, if I take my small backpack with me.

PS: Mora knives are unbelievably cheap and excellent Swedish fixblade knives. Lots of knives for their price, and in Sweden almost every people have at least one...:cool:

CS Pro Lite is the 2nd from top, the CS 5' Vaquero is the 3rd with the lanyard...

[Water Bug]

My favorite non-:spyder: to EDC is my Buck 110 Folding Hunter.

In addition to the Buck 110, I sometimes EDC a non-:spyder: rotation of folders from Strider, Chris Reeve, and Emerson.

[firebert]

Bencmade 950 rift, still my favorite.

Currently, a Kershaw Speed Bump.

[kbuzbee]

I guess I've just been totally assimilated... I can't remember the last time I carried a non Spydie....

I own several, from older Gerbers and Bucks to my most recent (full size and mini skirmish) but none EVER get carried....

I mean, seriously, I have more Spydies than I can reasonably carry:rolleyes:

[MrCharlie]

I'm a newbie with spydies and high-quality knives in general, really. I'm certainly loving my delica 4 and caly 3 (especially the caly 3) but am thinking of making a purchase (gasp) outside of the spydie realm. Just wondering what the hype is all about with the Boker's. I'm thinking that its between a subcom (depending on what I hear back) and a dejavoo.

Best,
Jim

[saltybones]

I always carry my Gerber Emerson Alliance most of the time in its sheath (not a fan of a bunch of knives cluttering my pockets) in my left front pocket is a red Vic cadet just loose in there and either a Spydie Native PE or a Gerber AR 3.5 partially serrated, and in my back right pocket I usually have my fully serrated endura. The only exceptions are at work I will have just the Vic and a cheapie Kershaw Oso Sweet (people around where I work over exaggerate knives real bad, not to mention I dont want anyone taking my Gerber away) and at school (not really supposed to have knives at the academy but I always do, plus most of the instructors know me and are pretty cool about it) I'll carry the cheapie Kershaw as well because its not a big deal if it gets taken away

Orh! Thanx Jester!:o;)
2 years ago, my handwritting had deteriorated to the point where one day I couldn't read a 'post-it' note I'd left to myself. I made a concious effort to slow down and improve my handwritting, and started using broad nibbed calligraphy style fountain pens etc. and started writting snail mail letters to get the practise in.

Then one day in return I recieved from a near-forgotten aquaintance the recipe for a chocolate cake written on a single page in perfect Copperplate. I was hooked. The recipe page was framed as a peice of artwork. And I started trying copperplate. You can only get the nibs in 'dip-pens' because they're so fine, flexible and scratchy, but it aides to slow my writting down.

Well ... by far and away Spydies are my most collected and used ... but here are my other all-time favs ...

Top - Buck/Mayo TNT (titanium and s30v)
Counter Cloclwise - Left - Mcusta (damascus handle and blade)
Bradley Alias II (ti and s30v)
Benchmade Mini TiPika (ti and 8cr13mov) Great bang-for-buck.
Bradley Alias II (ti and Tom Devlin Damascus blade)

One other knife (not-shown) is a Kershaw/Williams OD-1 ... very underrated mid/low priced folder.

[zidfeldts]

I started out collecting Case knives; I usually carry a yellow CV trapper. I have thinned the edges so that it's like a razor.

[gordonk]

It's usually my clipped ones that get rotated. For the last little while it's been a BM Presidio Ultra - both the small one and the larger one. Larger one is clipped to my back pocket. I think the Presidio is one of my favorites. BM710D2 is right in there for my BM stuff, but a little large for most things I do. When I'm gardening or doing reno stuff, larger on gets switched out to my SE Altantic Salt. SOG Aegis was there for a while. Depends on when I rummage thru my accumulation what strikes my fancy at the time:-)

[dialex]

Such thing doesn't exist.
Why would I carry anything non-Spyderco?

Actually I carry a BM32 (and pretty frequently, I may add:o) simply because unfortunately and for my deepest regret Spyderco still has to come with a comparable thing. :(

[2cha]

Fav. non spydie EDC knives in no particular order:

Mini-grip
SAK
Strider PT
CRK sm. seb.
Superknife, 2nd gen. (replaceable blade folding utility knife--supposedly the original design that has been so knocked-off--VERY good product, though I read later generations had issues).

[Stony]

I love RJ Martin's knives and Rick Hinderer, so that is usually what is in my pocket.

When I don't have a spydie, I usually carry my

MOD Hornet
BM 720
Kershaw Zing or RAM
Blackhawk CQD Mark II

From time to time I'll carry an Al Mar Eagle Ultralight, or Benchmade 943:

My non-:spyder: EDC blade is usually whatever is newest to my collection. Currently, it is a Benchmade 940, but a :spyder:-Ladybug always rides along in the watch pocket of my jeans.

i'm no blade snob, although spyderco is my favorite, so i carry bunches of different stuff.

[cosmo7809]

BM Mini Grip, Kershaws Leek, and Ener-g, and SOG Flash1


Rest are spydies :D

[MCM]

BM = 806's, Gold class Grip with M4 Ritter blade.
Microtech = Early Socom's, LCC's & Terz.
BG42 Lg Sebenza.

Those be the favorites.

[Jimd]

Other than my Spydies, it's usually an Emerson of some sort. These days, it might be a Commander, my 7, 8, or 15.

Or my new Benchmade 755 MPR.

Or my Strider SnG.

[Mr Blonde]

Mostly a Victorinox (Classic), and sometimes an Al Mar Hawk or Falcon.

Wouter

[bh49]

Other than Spyderco I EDC only Novatac 120T and my cell phone.

[KBR]

My Large Regular Sebenza. Although it hasn't seen much pocket time since I got my Ti RIL Millie. :D

[Pneumothorax]

Generally, I EDC only Spydies. I will augment with multi-tool or SAK for screwdriver/bottle opener, etc. Why would I limit myself? The main reason is that if I open myself up to other knives, there are way too many to get, so Im sticking primarily to Spyderco. They have earned my loyalty and keep coming up with enough new designs to keep my money flowing out of my pocket...salivating for Perrin PPT, Balance, Breeden...

[gundude73]

probably my sebenza, but my paramilitary is my main blade :D

[SERE]

I switch often, since a couple of weeks I am trying my new Fällkniven PXL.

Well it's been two years since I posted in this thread this is what I said back then:
I love all the Subcom Varients from Boker, CS Urban Dart, SOG Field Pup, Kabar, Last Ditch, and CRKT Hissatsu, Timberlines Mini Pit Bull, and Dalton Autos....Doc:D

Thing always change: Here is the new list:
I still carry a Subcom from Boker, and the Kabar Last Ditch is still around my neck, even today, add a Meyerco "Wharning" to the mix, and I really enjoy carrying the Boker Rampage...all the others are Spydercos....Doc:D
PS That CS Urban Dart resides in my Robe pocket...

[sesshin]

a few Kershaws.. Chive, Leek, Skyline
Benchmades.. 943, 741
Buck 110, SAK Farmer
would love to pick up a Sebbie at some point

[marinemaster]

Fallkniven P and U2

[FLYBYU44]

I'm currently without Spydies right now. I sold all my remaining ones to buy one of my grail knives. I got a Large Regular Sebenza, and yes it is as good as they all say. I was actually doubtful, but except for the issue of having a thumbstud I think it is pretty much the perfect knife. I will likely get a Para 2 and the Balance is pretty sweet as well, so I'm not done with Spydies. One of my other non-spydie EDC's is a Benchmade 555 MiniGrip with Wilkins pale green G-10 scales and a STR lowrider clip.

[djinnzfree]

Buck Vantage BOS or Opinel #8 eff or SAK or TZ 0302 or CRKT lightfoot M1 or Wenger ...

[pjt]

seem to be a Spyderco and CRKT collector and even though I own more Spydies, the CRKT Ichi (red) seems to be in my pocket daily... :eek:
http://www.1sks.com/store/media/crkt/2007/cr-ichi-group.jpg

That's a very handy little thing IMHO.

-pjt

[jeep45238]

Good ol standby - Buck 110.

[bladese97]

When I'm not carrying Spyderco(UKPK ALLWAYS:D), I can be found carrying my Sebenza, Umnumzaan, and BMs' Bonecollectors, or Rift.

John

[SUDS]

I am always carrying my Spyderco, the manix 2. But if I'm not carrying that I would either carry my Sog Trident(second from left) or my
Gerber trendy which I've had for 5 years(furthest right)


http://i382.photobucket.com/albums/oo269/llSUDSll/019.jpg

[Slider817]

Whe. I'm in the mood for a big knife and it's not the stretch or endura, I usually carry a Strider SNG, whe. I want something light but still semi-tactical I carry the Benchmade 740. Ultra-light the kershaw skyline.

[tanrichguy]

I carry a Barong most days but if wearing suit or such then it's my Brisa Enzo folder in FFG S30V and CF scales. An elegant gentlemans folder.

[Evil D]

The one non Spyderco that i really really loved was a Buck Rush. It was a little on the heavy side and was assisted open but of all the assisted open knives i've played with, this one had the most logical safety lock i've seen and worked fantastic. I lost it at a job and eventually i plan on buying another one. It really was a great knife. If i could get it in VG-10 and with a FRN or G10 handle it would really give my Delica a run for its money for EDC.

http://www.buckknives.com/index.cfm?event=product.detail&productID=3101I've had a few of these...They are nice blades, and sick fast too!

[Franciscomv]

Although most of my folders are Spydercos, I rotate often through different brands. I've been carrying my Case humpback whittler (with CV blades) a lot lately, and my ZT 0350 has seen a lot of pocket time as well (a great knife, I use it a lot more than my other ZTs which are just too bulky).

[psychophipps]

My EDC folder is a Benchmade Griptilian 550HG.

[Bushbadger]

If I'm not carrying a Spydie I carry either a Leatherman Skeletool or Wave, other than that a Victorinox, usually the Explorer model.

[Redeye]

I usually carry a UKPK but even though it complies with the law it's unwise to carry it in some parts of London.

For that reason I still keep and carry a few SAKs: either a black Spartan or a black Alox Pioneer for use in the city, or a realtree Huntsman for the suburbs.

Must also say I enjoyed seeing A.P.F.'s Buck, sweet knife!

[ChapmanPreferred]

Leatherman Wave with no close second.

[Evil D]

Leatherman Wave with no close second.

I had a Wave Ti i think it was called, with the 154CM blade and it was super nice but it was really thick and heavy for pocket carry. If they'd make the whole skeleton out of titanium or do something to make it a lot lighter i'd be more inclined to carry one as my primary EDC. I just can't stand carrying anything in a belt pouch.

[TrojanDonkey]

I love AMERICAN Schrades(Cases too-a little rich for teenage blood though). I grew up on them.Very good Grandpa and gentleman knives.Their carbon lockbacks were awesome! Never liked their Schrade stainless
+ <-- steels.I loved their carbon blades.Never ever seen a serrated Schrade.Thanks for the pic.I went modern/spyderco/stainless in the mid 1990s with a Police serrated.My Dad turned me on with a Gin 1 Mariner(Pops was a commercial fisherman among other things) but every funky now and then carry old Schrades??? Relapse for the old staglon haha.

[Spyharpy]

Benchmade DeJavoo as it's as close to a Spyderco with the same Spydie hole in the blade.

[merthyrmafia]

Boker Pry-mate

The name Pry Mate is derived from the staggeringly thick 7mm blade with awesome strength and cutting abilities. Designed by Danish knifemaker Jesper Voxnaes it is capable of some heavy work. It has a black micarta handle with deep thumb grooves making tough work very much easier. The N690BO stainless steel blade gives excellent edge retention. It is supplied with a kydex sheath and tek lock. It is available in two different sizes.

Currently my Kershaw Skyline has replaced my Delicas for work carry. I'm pretty impressed with this inexpensive knife & it's fun to flip open.

[yuldeli]

Kershaw Skyline, Alox Soldier, Osborne 940, Case Sodbuster and Ti Subcom are all part of my current EDC rotation with one of my Delicas.

The Digi Cam finish holds up insanely well. The SMF is pretty new to me so I haven't been using it long, but the PT I have had since around March and you can't tell the thing has been used! I carry and use the PT all the time and it still looks brand new.

VERY nice stonewashed DGG SnG :D I want to get that combo sometime soon! :)

[Halfneck]

MCM - WoW! Beautiful Puma.

[*Cho*]

At the moment it is a Lone Wolf Longhorn Ebano. Great knife, excellent steel (S30v), very sharp, smooth, elegant looking and a good price.

I enjoy carrying my Izula or my TOPS Ferret on my belt. Hopefully my Bark River Pro Scalpel
will arrive tomorrow. Small fixed blades are always at the ready. Hopefully Spyderco has some lined up for production.

http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m150/Echo63/BZC15277.jpg
most of my spyderco's are too big and hard to explain should i ever get caught with one in my pocket by the police, the little barkie is small and cute enough to be non threatening, and is easily accessed for cutting rope, tape and cardboard when i need to at work

[jackknifeh]

SOG Tomcat in a belt sheath. No pocket clip. A bit heavy but a very very sturdy knife. SOG brags about the lock type which is good but to be honest I've never had a lock of any type fail on me. I know it happens just not to me yet. When opening this knife I push the blade with the thumb stud and it GLIDES open and locks without constant contact by my thumb. It is NOT an assisted opener. When closing it I can hold the knife horizontal, release the lock and the blade just falls pointing straight down. There is absolutely no play in the joint when opening, closing and when locked open. I have never seen a folder with better performance as far as blade play. VG-10 blade.

I carry a Stretch most of the time instead of the Tomcat because of the ZDP-189 blade. I have 3 Spyderco knives that meet all my work and play needs but I truely do love that Tomcat. The first half of the blade from the handle has a very slight recurve shape that I like also.

[FIMS]

As of last week my new Emerson CQC7BW or A100.

[spyderdog]

What's funny is that there are a whole lot of knives here that look like they've never seen a spec of use

[Switchback]

Good point, spyderdog.

I can only speak for myself but I think a lot of people might be in the same boat as me.

I love knives but I really don't use them very much. I just don't really have the need to cut things very often. I can sometimes go 3 or 4 months without even touching up the edge on my EDC knives. And usually when I do need to cut something it's something like string or shrinkwrap or packing tape etc.

I recently tried to get into wood carving with a pocket knife (whittling) just so I could use my knives more often but I wasn't any good at it so I gave it up.

I usually carry two knives. One Spydie or Byrd knife and a slipjoint of some kind.

Lately this 2005 Schatt & Morgan Railsplitter keeps ending up in my pocket.

[jwingfie]

The only non-spydie I carry is the Gerber fast draw. It's not super sharp but we will see if I can't do something about that when I get my Sharpmaker in the mail.

[flipe8]

I would still say it's a Chris Reeve, but I just picked up a 3" Hinderer XM-18, so things could very well change:)

[Agent_Ohm]

just got this guy in the mail. has a ton of great functions but the liner lock is left hand biased :(

Probably an SAK Alox Cadet. Actually, that tends to get most pocket time out of all my knives.

He rarely wanders and rambles on AirsoftGiforums...
Malice, if you read this, it's me, ASFTW *hint hint*
If not, malice is a huge spydie fanatic. I'll post up some of HIS collection ( not mine ) on here.. He's known for his knife porn. He takes the craziest, but most awesome pictures of knives.


Back to the topic:
My non spydie I carry the most would have to be my SOG Aegis... I love the blade shape on that thing. Wish it came out in like a 154cm instead of AUS 8, but I still love it.

[Jay_Ev]

I recently became a fan of the Kershaw Leek. I like the slim, non-pocket-hogging profile.

[Blerv]

Boker Trance or Hyper.

Basically anything CLB puts together fights for my pocket :). Shame we haven't seen more collabs.

[224477]

Currently its a CE black Trance designed by Chad Los Banos and made by Boker Plus. Its my edc for more than a week now.

[BlackNinja]

Folder: Para-1 - Non-Spydie: MicroTech Makora II, OTF Auto.

Fixed: Busse SH-E (Steel Heart-Ergo), Busse BJ (Busse Old School Series {BOSS} Jack - get your mind out of the gutter!) :p:D.

I have no fixed :spyder:'s.

EDIT: I forgot about my Fallkniven A2, fixed, that has seen a lot of use! I used to carry and use an SMF, Strider pretty often too, but that one is gone now. In all honesty, my Busse SH-E hasn't seen much work nor has my Makora II, but those two are the ones that I carry if I don't have a Spydie on me, usually a Para-1 or 2 or my Chinook II, CE (which has seen a bit of use), which is pretty much never!

Here's a tip:

In order to post pictures that show up as images rather than post attatchments, us the tags around the URL of the image you want to post. Example:

[IMG]www.UrlOfYourImage.com/

In order to use this method, you have to upload your photos to a photo hosting site such as Flickr, PhotoBucket, ImageShack, or Picasa (my personal choice). Once uploaded, the photo hosting site generates a URL that links to your photo so you can easily share it.

So in order to post the picture located at this (Picasa) URL: http://lh3.ggpht.com/_O9q8X121WxA/TCkByoOb3fI/AAAAAAAAAKY/5rOi42aAT4Y/s800/IMG_0041.JPG

I write this in my post:

http://lh3.ggpht.com/_O9q8X121WxA/TCkByoOb3fI/AAAAAAAAAKY/5rOi42aAT4Y/s800/IMG_0041.JPG

And it looks like this when I post it:
http://lh3.ggpht.com/_O9q8X121WxA/TCkByoOb3fI/AAAAAAAAAKY/5rOi42aAT4Y/s800/IMG_0041.JPG

Also, I find that the "Preview Post" button is very helpful in determining if you've done this correctly, so you don't end up with a bunch of posts with broken images.

Hope that helps! :)

[spydutch]

I'm liking this one so much it's now my primary EDC (and it's been a long time since I carried any non-spyderco as primary). It's light and the lines are very graceful, just a very good looking knife altogether. May have to spring for the custom version if I ever have the moolah.

'All paths lead back to the Spyderhole' as I read on the forum by Brian :D
After 17 years of buying all kinds of folders and fixed-blades I finally chose for a Spyderco. I think I do not have to explain why ;) For a fixed blade I have two Fallknivens; an F1 and an A2, both in convex laminated VG10 in my own custom made leather sheaths. The blade in the middle is a fulltang A1 with black micarta grips I made for someone else.
