My current Spyderco Collection

[jt75]

Very nice. Any favouite(s)?

I sold my military because I thought it was too big for a folder. I regret that decision now.

How good is the Navaja?! I love that model.

@ jt75: I love the Tenacious and the military at the moment.

@ Arma N: It's the first time I open it since i got it so not sure yet.

Nice collection you've got going there...

I bought one as I loved the look...but ended up selling it as I wasn't a big fan of the ergonomics...just didn't feel right in the hand for me!

And I'd also heard rumours of issues over time with the Carraca (ratcheting sound) mechanism...although mine was fine with little use...

I agree somewhat with this guys analysis of the design...

Yeah true. Its funny. Blade geometry is odd, I have heard about the caraca issue and the handle is strange and the bolsters scratch. But I still love it. I think because I have a few gypsy roots that I have some pride in the style. Its half the reason I am trying to track down the Gypsy Jack by Emerson. The design might not make the most sense but the style design features are so damn cool I have to keep it anyways!

And they do sell well on the secondary market, which is a pretty good acid test on a rep imo.

They do? I took a substantial loss from new on mine!

No-one was interested here at all and it eventually sold on ebay for about $60 less than I paid!

Holy crap?! Even without the Caraca it still is an awesome knife. I think they will become rare, some dude will say they are awesome on youtube and everyone will try to find it again....or not :P. Mine still works which is funny cause I got mine just after it was released. Go figure eh? I have heard the failure rate was quite high. Why they could not use a triangle shaped wedge instead of that weird pin configuration is beyond me.

Its designed to wear out eventually but not after 100 flicks. I never saw a solution to the problem for folks either. Guess its a hit and miss model eh?
