"The difference" I can't tell is between one model of Spyderco and another. They all look alike to me except for the occasional handle material or handle color. Maybe if I was into Spydercos like y'all are I could identify the different models but I'm not and I can't.

As I told Josh, I'm not dis'n Spyderco's, it's just an observation. And I did buy one to see what they're all about. Bought an orange Delica at the factory store when I was out in CO a couple of years ago. Paid waaaaay more than I could have gotten it for off eBay just so I could say it came from the factory store. I guess you could say it's a souvenir of our trip to CO like the t-shirt from the Denver Hard Rock Cafe.

I like the thumb hole in the blade much more than thumbstuds.
