AGHHHH....

Pretty soon, I'll have the Spyderco logo on my tombstone for being the reason of my demise!

Too many knives, too little cash... arghh..

But I like this one...

I feel dizzy......

I must be allergic to Spydereco. Everytime I see a new knife from them I get woozy.

Do these knives have stainless steel liners, or are they linerless? Its kind of hard to tell from the pictures.

I had an unusual reaction to these pics. I like the looks of the serrated one best! Maybe it is just because it is fully serrated instead of a combo blade. It would be a mean momma of a backyard utility knife!

Alan,

I'd imagine, from the scan, that its construction is identicle to the Goddard and the large Calypso: linerless Micarta handle scales and a pinned construction. It's beautiful; but having experienced 440V, I can't have any more hollow ground ATS34 bladed knives.

Tulsamal,

I agree. I have the old fully serrated Goddard and prefer its looks over the currend combo one. Alas, after the Starmate, it'll take quite a convincing job to get me to buy another knife.

The JD Smith uses thinner micarta than the Goddard so we added one liner for the clip.

Nice "toothpick".

Very slim blade compared to the usual Spyderco. Looks like a good gripping handle.

Will have try it.
