Spyderco Endura C10 Black Knife

wlben — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 15:15:02 +0000

Spyderco does not make a lot of black coated knives in regular runs like most of the big companies out there, and instead released them in small numbers for certain models only. Usualy only a few models are available in black at a time such as the Paramilitary, Native and Delica models. Even with their [...]

Spyderco Merlin Knife C21/C08

wlben — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 01:31:45 +0000

Yet another Spyderco, same FRN construction, though this Merlin here is a bit of a rarer knife. The Merlin is basically an FRN version of the Harpy, with slight differences in blade steel, shape and thickness. This Spyderco Merlin is a plain edge model, which is extremely rare as they are no longer made.

Since the [...]

Spyderco Cricket FRN C29 Knife

wlben — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 17:22:50 +0000

Since I reviewed the Ying Yang cricket I wasn’t going to review this FRN cricket, however this one is plain edged, and different enough I figured I would at least give a short review of it. The Cricket is definately one of the more popular ladies knives available, and due to the blade shape, works [...]

Spyderco Paramilitary D2 Foliage Green

wlben — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 02:48:26 +0000

I haven’t picked up a new Spyderco in a while, but every time I walk into the local knife shop, I see all their Spydercos displayed, and after a while I just can’t help myself. This time it was a Foliage Green Paramilitary that caught my eye, in the limited edition CPM D2 steel configuration. [...]

Spyderco Vesuvius Knife C66PBK

wlben — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 17:56:38 +0000

The Spyderco Vesuvius is one of the few FRN handled Spydies to have a smooth contoured handle, which I really like. It is also designed by Frank Centofante, which I was a bit surprised about. The design is much more in-house looking to me, but either way, I love the look and feel!

I bought my [...]

Spyderco Military D2 Foliage Green

wlben — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 06:27:31 +0000

This Spydero Millitary was one of the better examples that I had ever handled, with fantastic lockup and a perfectly centered and smooth opening blade. This example also did not have the blade rubbing against the G-10 handles that makes that rubbing sound that I dislike so much.

This D2 Foliage Military is very much like [...]

Spyderco Spyderfly B01 Butterfly Knife

wlben — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 03:13:35 +0000

I’ve owned several Butterfly knives, and dollar for value, the Spyderfly is probably one of the best bang for buck Balis that I have seen. It’s unique design makes it a bit of an acquired taste for some, but with my limited flipping ability, the knife still acts like a Bali when I flip it.

The [...]

Spyderco Delica 4 C11 Folding Knife

wlben — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 23:41:45 +0000

I previously reviewed the older generation of C11 Delica, but the Generation 4 delica represents a major revision to this iconic knife from Spydero, and warrants a review. I also happened to receive the knife in a trade, so I figured, might as well!

The changes while significant, would appear to be rather superficial to a [...]

Spyderco Kevin Wilkins Leaf Storm Knife

wlben — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 17:25:41 +0000

One of the latest knives from Spyderco that I’ve just had to have is the Spyderco Leaf Storm designed by Kevin Wilkins. Formerly a Graphic Designer from Germany, Kevin Wilkins has become one of the premier new knifemakers to hit the scene, with a full selection of kitchen knives in addition to the usual sporting [...]

Spyderco Calypso 3 ZDP-189 Laminate

wlben — Sat, 31 Oct 2009 14:51:30 +0000

I reviewed this one on video a while back, and have finally gotten around to writing up a written review for the non-youtubers out there. My impression of the Caly 3 Carbon Fiber with ZDP-189 Laminate blade has matured a bit with ownership of this knife, but I still really like it.

For collectors, one of [...]
