I have an SE Black Dodo. I have never handled a Cricket. How do they compare? Would a PE Cricket compliment my Dodo well?

Edited to add: wha other samller spydercos would compliment my Dodo well?

Thanks!
 
What other smaller spydercos would compliment my Dodo well?


It's a little heavier due to it's steel handle, but the Poliwog has a similar sort of 'feel' to it. You might want to take a look at the Dragonfly as well.

Some will suggest the Lava. My personal experience is that it's a little *too* small.
 
Thanks for the response. The only D'Fly I've handled was flimsy and I don't trust the clip. Might an etched SS version solve this problem?
 
Check out the Spin Etched too. Some will say it's too small. It might be too small for you, but if you are looking to compliment your Dodo not replace it, it might be perfect.

I love the Spin etched because: 1) i think it's beautiful looking 2) it will fit anywhere 3) the blade and handle make it a very precise cutter.
 
i like the mini Persian or the Jester along with my Dodo, i find a blade with a curve the other way is a good compliment to the dodos recurved hook shaped blade.

Well it sure would be legal anywhere. How would the grip compare to the Dodo? If I do get a SS spyder I think I will go with etched SS assuming it has grip similar to the Dodo.

Thanks everyone!
 
i've never handled a dodo. the etching on the spin, cricket, and dragonfly really enhances grip.

the spin fits very snugly in your hand. it gives you a lot of surface area for a small package because of the finger notches.
 
If you can find a Dodo get both. I have 2 Dodos and 6 Crickets. I'm hoping they bring back the Dodo, at least a sprint run, I need 4 more Dodos to even up my collection. The Dodo is a great knife that has to be held and used to be appreciated.
