Post Pics of your Favorite PAIR of Spydercos!

^ Most excellent grouping. Two of my favorites as well, aside from the Southard clip...



Here's a quick contribution:

Drool worthy, no doubt! :D. You have some beautiful blades.

Seems you enjoy carrying pairs that have similar blade shapes to each other. Is that by chance, just unconcious selection, or preference? Just curious.
I do that occassionally, but just differing sizes.
But, reason I bring it up is generally I've been trying to purposely select pairs with contrasting blade styles/shapes. And also mixing in Spyderedge & Plain Edge, that way I have more chance to try Serrations daily, which I've disliked in past, until more recently! I enjoy that. It prompts me to try to analyze the cutting task that might come about and see which I like better or may work better.
If I carry two blades which are too similar to eachother, say a Domino and Dice, then I only tend to reach for whatever is easier to access and the other ends up just ballast weight in my pocket and unused by the end of the day...
Just thought it was discussion worthy... what does everyone else think?

I have a few reasons for what I end up pairing. Usually, it's for symmetry's sake that I pick similar shaped blades, but even then it's subconscious. Didn't even realize until look back at the pics that they were all similar. Often I have one knife I really wanna carry for the day, and end up matching it with a similarly-themed knife. The Tuff gets paired with the Techno a lot, as a result.

But additionally, I have two "carry slots": front right, and back right pockets. I'm only comfortable carrying certain knives in the back pocket (tip down, super-strong detent), so that greatly limits what gets paired with a knife that fits in the back pocket. If I'm carrying the Millie, for instance (back pocket), I'll usually pick up a people-friendly front-pocket carry. But if I'm carrying the Tuff (front pocket), it's either the Military in the back (don't like two huge knives), the Techno (usually), or a DF2 in the coin pocket.

To make matters more simple, though, I don't have enough knives for a true variety. :D
