Look what the cat drug in - my new ATR SS PE

Reeek · May 13, 2009

I just got her today and she is absolutly perfect. I was really worried considering it came form that big auction place from someone I never bought from before but wow, O37V and FLAWLESS. I will take better pictures in a day or two but here are some mediocre shots for now. I'm stoked. $165 delivered

It definitely has it's good points, and it's an interesting knife, but I actually thought the Lil' Temperance was a better design. If the ATR had been designed for tip-down carry, I probably would have bought the titanium model long ago.

I saw that one and I'm glad you won it. Way to go!:thumbup:

Beautiful.

I've always thought the perfect knife would be the ATR handle and lock with the Military or Endura style very pointy tipped blade. The Paramilitary looks like it comes close, but something the size of the Military or Endura would be nice.

But whatever, that's a beautiful knife and a great find.

looks terrific. the atr seems to be taunting me lately.

The ATR looks great in PE. Nice score!

Thanks, everyone. I'm an opportunist. I just snagged it when I saw it. Since this is 100% NIB (except for pictures) she will be a safe queen for the foreseeable future.

Yeah right. Just wait till you start fondling it, and then you'll be flipping it, then you'll be trying it on and seeing how it fits in your pocket.

I give you a week.

Seriously though, nice catch. I'm waiting for one in Ti/PE. Rare as crap, but I'm still waiting. Love the compression lock, the handle shape, the blade, everything. The ATR rocks. :thumbup:

Exactly. Make it tip-down carry and you've got it.

I think you can tap it for TD carry. Looks like there's space on the right hand side. Anyone try it?

I like the blade on the ATR as is. Extremely tough and durable. :thumbup:

One of my favorite Spydies.It's a keeper.

The Atr blade shape is perfect as is,no need to change it.

jlfletcher83 · May 14, 2009

I have the black pe ATR and it is about an indestructible knife. Good score.

If it was made so the clip could be moved, we could both be happy.

My two SS and my Ti.... (note the more aggressive serrations on the Japanese made SS model)

Very nice. I had a problem with the holes on the Ti model, in that they were so sharp, they actually made circular cuts in the tips of my fingers while indexing.
