Spyderco Kumo
I bought this Spyderco Kumo as-new in 2010, and have not used it. It comes with the original box, sheath, paperwork, cardboard blade cover, and an unopened aftermarket neck strap that was included when I bought it. It's still in excellent, like-new condition. VG-10 blade, and epoxy-saturated black cord wrapped handle.
Below is information from the Spyderco sales page:
Kumo is Japanese for spider and a fitting name for the new Japanese influenced fixed blade knife designed by custom knifemaker R.J. Martin and manufactured by Spyderco. A self-professed steel junkie, R.J. Martin is celebrated for integrating multiple grind lines on the blades of his knife designs. Made from a solid 9-inch piece of VG-10 steel, the Kumo blade has two definite grinds: a swedge-grind along the spine and a hollow-grind above the non-serrated cutting edge. Converging in the center of the blade the two grind lines meet creating a look that is streamlined and pleasingly tapered. Where the thumb naturally settles on the blade are a series of notches that latch onto the thumb pad adding an appreciative level of grip and cutting control.
In Japanese fashion, the handle is wrapped with epoxy-saturated cord over an undercoat of pebbly black stingray skin that has a silver Spyderco bug Menuki peeking through the wrapping. The Kumo slips into in a fitted black Kydex sheath mounted with a TekLok detachable polymer clip that can be situated to carry the knife in five different carry positions: vertical, inverted, cross-draw, small of back or horizontal position. Overall length of the Kumo is 8-5/16" (211mm) it's PlainEdge cutting edge is 3-3/4" (95mm) and it weighs 3 oz (85g).

Spyderco Swick 3 - with custom green G-10 scales, wharncliffe S30V steel blade
I purchased this Swick 3 new in 2013. It has custom made, green, sculpted G-10 scales attached. No sheath. Comes with the original box, and all original packaging and paperwork, plus the custom scales.
Below is information from the Spyderco sales page:
The original Swick was developed for fast deployment, lightweight carry, and an incredibly secure ergonomic grip. The new Swick 3 is the result of Spyderco’s Constant Quality Improvement (C.Q.I.) process and provides an outstanding grip while offering even greater versatility and strength. Designed by Sal Glesser, the Swick series features a large index-finger hole—a feature developed by custom knifemaker Fred Perrin. Placing your index finger through the hole locks the knife securely into your grip and greatly reduces the possibility of it being dropped or dislodged during use. It also allows you to keep the knife in your hand while freeing your fingers to perform other tasks. The Swick 3’s enhanced finger-hole design is larger and is complemented by jimping on the adjacent top and bottom surfaces of the tang. These refined ergonomics make the Swick 3 even more versatile and secure during use.
The Swick 3 is crafted from a solid piece of premium CPM S30V steel and is skeletonized to reduce weight without sacrificing strength. The blade features a full-flat-ground wharncliffe profile and a handsome tumbled finish. Although it is perfectly functional as is, the Swick 3 now features pin holes for easy attachment of handle scales or paracord wrap. It is purposely sold without a sheath or scales to allow you to customize it to meet your personal needs. Made in the USA from premium US materials, the Swick 3 proudly features Spyderco’s Trademark Round Hole.
Overall Length: 5.77" (147mm)
Blade Length: 2.31" (59mm)
Steel: CPM S30V
Edge Length: 2.31" (59mm)
Weight: 2.1oz (60g)
