Dave, what do you like to use your serrated blade for?

Nothing special. I didnt use to like SE blades. I like to play with them once in a while. They do have there place. They excel at cordage, cardboard and similar materials. Dont make good whittlers tho.

Today got a Mule24 with a Maxamet blade, Executive and Military.

Great combo! The Executive looks like it might be a pretty good size. Need to start looking for one. I'm eagerly awaiting the release of the SPY27 Mule Team; which will be my first Spyderco fixed blade.DM11 wrote: ↑Sun Aug 02, 2020 10:15 pmNothing special. I didnt use to like SE blades.

Re: Is there a SPYDERCO in your pocket today??
Most of my Spydercos are serrated (Harpy, Ladybug Hawkbill Salt; Byrd Rescue 2), because on the farm, I've got to cut lots of hard-to-cut materials. It is both less stressing on the edge, and faster cutting. Only this Ladybug, and the Dragonfly I have in the mail are PE.
For around the house, the Ladybug is just fine. I like a three-finger grip with my small knives, nothing smaller. Anything smaller, and it's a pendant knife in my opinion. I did most of my light cutting with it. The Ladybug has to be my favorite small knife. Yeah, the price is triple that of a Buck Nano Bantam or Case Mini Blackhorn (my other favorite small knives), but the steel is better, and the blade is one-hand opening.

Ladybug Salt Hawkbill. A lot of cutting power in such a small knife. It was the first Spyderco I ever owned, I've had it about five years now. About a year ago, I lost the pivot screw and the washer, as at the time, checking screws wasn't a big part of my maintenance protocols, as I didn't EDC tacticals that much. Spyderco sent me both, and I put them in. The pivot screw is T5 Torx. Gonna have to Loctite the screw, but I'm out of Loctite.

Thank you John.
Went back to work today and thought the Worker would be appropriate.

Zome Camo Dragonfly, which just came in the mail earlier this week. While still being pretty small (3 1/3" closed), it feels like a full-sized knife, and with the choil, I can get a four-finger grip.

Re: Is there a SPYDERCO in your pocket today??
Thought I would add my small accumulation of Spyderco knives;including my wife's that is her,"EDPC"(every day purse carry).
The bottom three knives were purchased at a flea market for five bucks apiece.The one on the left had a broken tip(easily re-profiled)and that was four bucks.The Card I bought new and the tie clip was a gift from a fellow knife collector.The pink Delica I bought for my wife at Menard's in Indianapolis many years ago.

I bought this Spyopera yesterday at my local store. It is a recently released new design, in collaboration with Lionsteel knives. It is about 4' closed and the handle is canvas micarta.

Re: Is there a SPYDERCO in your pocket today??
How is the Spydercard in a wallet? Looks pretty heavy. I think it would be really improved by use of G-10 or similar instead of metal. The exposed blade of models like the Dog Tag just don't do it for me.
