Hi every one I'm new. Spyderco lockbacks?

Are the Spyderco Kopa available in G10 or some thing that would put it in the $50 range. I like the blade shape.I think it is called "leaf".

Don't sweat the SpyderEdge---it's the only serration pattern I genuinely like.

When anything with the SpyderEdge cuts something---whether it be a SE Ladybug or a Civilian, it STAYS cut. :thumbup:

None of the versions are available for fifty dollars, unless you're incredibly lucky on our favorite, controversial, and much-contested auction site.

That Dragonfly is in the price range, and features a leaf-shaped blade. It was my first Spyderco, back when I was thirteen years old. I still have that knife, and it still serves me well.
 
The Dragonfly is hard for my old stiff hands to one hand but the Calypso Jr. is very easy for me but not as easy as a Native. Size matters at least to my hands.

That said I'm sitting here one handing a Ladybug 3 so I guess I could learn to one hand a Dragonfly.

The lockback is very easy to close with one hand, even the Ladybug.

I used to consider the lockbacks on Spydercos as kind of weird, especially in contrast to the easy-opening hole that they are famous for. Then I saw some videos of people closing them one-handed and very easily on YouTube and right now I'm simply trying to decide between getting a Native or a Delica first.

I had the same concern when I bought my first Spyderco. Come to think of it, I remember complaining about it here before I got the hang of it!

They're really not at all hard to close one-handed, especially with the built-in choil area on most Spyderco knives.

Holding the knife in a normal grip, the choil area allows you to push the back lock down to unlock the knife, and shake it downward so the blade drops and the choil hits your index finger. Then reposition your fingers and close with your thumb.

There's just a learning curve, but once you get used to it, they're just as easy to close than any other lock style.
