Over the past few years, the amount of Spydercos I've reviewed has dwindled. A lot of this is due to the relative high cost of the new stuff (Mamba anyone?) or what I would define as thoroughly uninspired designs (Polestar... what where you thinking Sal?!), but every once in … [Read more...]
Spyderco Pingo Slip Joint Everyday Carry Knife Review
When I heard that Jens Anso and Jesper Voxnaes were the designers behind the Spyderco Pingo, I was ecstatic. I always loved the unique minimalism that Anso and Vox brought to the table and this guaranteed that I would end up snapping this fella' up. Sadly (for me) the Pingo … [Read more...]
Spyderco UK Penknife UKPK Slipjoint EDC Knife Review
In 2004, Spyderco took a huge risk and introduced the UK friendly UK Pen Knife (UKPK) for the first time. It was G-10 with a premium blade steel and in all ways but one, it fit the Spyderco line up. The primary difference being of course its lack of a lock. Historically … [Read more...]
Spyderco Squarehead EDC Folding Dog Tag Knife Review
It's no secret to those who have stumbled even for a moment on this blog before that I have long been a Spyderco fanboy. Regardless of the sometimes undeserved high price or sporadic quality issues that Spydercos at times have, I maintain that Spyderco's product line is a … [Read more...]
Spyderco Des Horn Lightweight EDC Pocket Knife Review
The Spyderco Des Horn was one of the most interesting designs Spyderco produced in a long time when it came out. Unfortunately, as I scribble down this review, it did get discontinued. I mention this because it is still available in a few places (like on Amazon for now), and … [Read more...]
Spyderco Bug SS Tiny Folding EDC Keychain Knife Review
When the Spyderco Bug was announced I admittedly scoffed at the idea of a sub 3 inch (total length!) folder. What on earth could anyone do with a 1.27 inch blade? And yet, this tiny knife kept popping up in other people's pocket dumps and EDC showcases... So here I am - … [Read more...]
Spyderco Southard Folding Flipper EDC Knife Review
The Spyderco Southard is Spyderco's first flipper knife, and first collaboration with the custom knife maker Brad Southard. With the amount of attention this wicked fast slicer has generated, I admit I am a bit late to the bandwagon, but as they say, better late than … [Read more...]
Spyderco Dragonfly 2 Little Big EDC Knife Review
Spyderco has long advertised its belief in "Constant Quality Improvement" (C.Q.I.), which emphasizes continuous upgrades and evolution, bit by bit. No knife strikes this message home more to me than this version of the Spyderco Dragonfly 2. From a design that arose in the … [Read more...]
Spyderco Resilience Black G-10 Folding Knife Review
For all intents and purposes, when you imagine the Spyderco Resilience, you should simply imagine an upscaled Tenacious, much like the Spyderco Endura is an upscaled version of the Spyderco Delica. I've personally modified the blade on my Spyderco Resilience (just as I had … [Read more...]
Spyderco Urban Safety Orange G-10 Slip Joint Knife Review
I've been asked a few times already why I never seem to carry slip joints. Although I do have a few, they don't make up a large part of my collection, not because I have anything against slip joints, but because the knives I happen to like coincidentally happen to have … [Read more...]
