I like those two! Good pair to carry.

Thank you John and JTX.

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.

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.

The Worker is a great knife! The Military and Ladybug are nice also.

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.

Ladybug and a Delica I had Tom Krein flat grind.

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.

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.
