This is my carbon fiber Spyderco collection as of now. I really like the fact that the CF on all of them is different.

Here is my pair of CF Spydercos:

The M4 on the Gayle Bradley doesn't have a hint of silver on it anymore, though. It developed a very dark patina quite quickly...
 
It seems like most of Spydercos CF is textured, what models other than the Sage and GB have smooth CF?

The Sage woven pattern has some texture...the Caly on the bottom of the pic is completely smooth. I had a CF UKPK and a Chicago that were smooth as well.

The CF on the Michael Walker is very smooth, almost like it is polished... also the CF on the original Chicago and CAT seem to be similarly smooth and polished.

A lot of people didn't like the original Carbon Fiber Spyders from the early to mid 2000s. But actually I thought that the original CF Police model was one of the most elegant Spyders I ever owned. Wish I had it back actually. It did have a bit of a glossy sheen to it that a lot of people thought didn't look like most CF but I actually thought that the original CF handles were extremely sturdy and handled well.

Probably the Peel Ply was my favorite of all the CF handles>> but there isn't any of the variants of Spyderco's CF that I don't like.
 
The first and it is Swiss made
