[spyderskin]

Thanks for playing guys, I must say some of you are very dedicated to Spyderco, I love them to, no doubt my favorite knife... But I like some of the other companies designs as well, of course when I look at a knife I'm looking more for it's possible defense qualities and it's design, and how I can possibly manipulate it with my hands and deploy it quickly from my pocket in every position or situation most effectively. Of course blade quality and cutting ability are just as important, but even a dull knife can kill someone, they just hurt more..lol:spyder: 4-life

Spyderco products are the only "modern" folder I really carry. I would consider one of the thumb stud Benchmades, but only after I have acquired enough spydies, which we know can never happen.;)
Some models from other makers "look" cool, but when it comes to spending my hard earned cash it always seems to follow the :spyder:

I have a Gerber paraframe, it is o.k. quality, but i'm not even totally sure where it is:p
