Hello fellow Spydernutz,
Today was a good day! First, I took a trip to my favorite local knife store to make a trade. I looked all over his selection that had since doubled from when I was there last! It was a beautiful sight, but no matter how much I looked at I was still drawn back to the Spyderco case. He had a gorgeous bone Kiwi, a Persian, and an old Starmate! They were like diamonds among all the standard models sitting around them. I picked them all up and looked at them in detail. I really wanted the Starmate bc it is becoming more and more difficult to find, but it just didn't impress me that much. It felt like a mishapen Military, but it was still cool.
But, what really impressed me was the Persian! That blade shape and edge grind look like they could slice through the hood of my car like buttah! The handle is shaped perfectly to my hand and the action is one of the smoothest I've ever found in a SS lockback.
I ended up trading for the bone Kiwi bc it was just astonishingly beautiful and every inch of it was perfect, so I couldn't pass it up, but I plan on ordering a Persian from NGK ASAP! And the day got even better when I arrived home to find a USPS Priority box with the gray Calypso Jr. I had purchased on eBay for the steal price of $38. It is a very sweet knife also. Great blade, very light, smooth as silk action, and I love that gunmetal colored clip with the black Spyderbug logo!
It's truly amazing how something soo simple can make a day soo much better!
