Hey all,

Just wanted to let you know that I really like the new Shabaria. I got kind of tired of the 'typical' tactical style which has pretty much dominated my personal collection thus far.

When I first saw this knife online awhile back, I just thought it was curious looking. The more I looked at it, however, I began to appreciate it's unique look and design inspiration. Of course, in typical knifenut fashion, the have-to-have urge grew stronger- and it just showed up today, #365. A great Christmas present to myself, I might add.

Kudos to Spyderco and their efforts to bring the "Custom Collaborations" line to market. And also to the custom makers, (they make it possible)- so far each one appears very well done. I have also noticed that the quality of these knives is incredible- I only have a couple of Spydercos now, but I see that changing. I also applaud the diverse nature of the product line- very nice indeed.

I would also like to bow my head in respect for the late Mr. Eduard Bradichansky- thanks for the great design and for making one collector at least, smile a little wider.

Now perhaps, maybe the Terzuola or Lum...

Happy Holidays Everyone!

 
Clip point - thank you for the kind words. I hope you enjoy the piece.

Also a shame about Eduard. Although your purchase will help his wife & kids.

I scored #360 and #361 from The Knifecenter.
#361 was for a friend of mine so I only have the one.I did see a part serrated version that another friend of mine received the other day.It was #175 from a Spyder number collector that decided to drop out of the program.I'm still deciding if I like this version or the all smooth blade like mine.They both look very interesting, very different from the usual tactical folder designs. These look utilitarian as well as defensive. I'm very impressed.
