Don't tease me, Sal!

I was at the gun shop the other day, and I see this giant Spyderco folder on the wall-sized knife display behind the counter. Wasn't planning on buying a knife that day, but I decided I might just have to. The clerk hands it to me, and I was ever so disappointed to find that it was a flexible filet blade! (Catcherman). Went from happy to sad in about 5 seconds. Dammit, Sal, when are you gonna make me a BIG folder? :(

You're in luck, first issues of the Catcherman were not flexible (just really thin).

Got two of them (regular blade partial SE and a yellow full SE/).

To me it's a wonderful knife with a heavy persian style (not a bad thing).

And if I'm not mistaken, it is the longest folder Spyderco has made to date.

With the exception of the Harpy, all of my folders have at least a 5" blade. I typically carry either a Vaquero Grande or a Ti-Lite VI -- both of which are excellent knives, but I shudder to think what a jury would think at the sight of 'em.

Spyderco, unlike Cold Steel, is very popular with law enforcement personnel, and I think (perhaps mistakenly) that it would be more reassuring for a LEO to see that I was carrying a product he knew and respected.

To answer your question, I'd like a Spyderco folder with at least a 5" blade. I deal with dirtbags on a regular basis, and neither of my clients is comfortable with security carrying a firearm, so all I've got is pepperspray, a cellphone, and a pocketknife . . . and in the event that it actually becomes necessary for me to deploy a knife, I want it to be as effective as possible. Every inch counts. . .

You may want to hold out for the Bison then. If it ever makes it to production. It's HUGE. Should be right up your alley.
