Hello!!
Would like to share my new babies, just arrived two days ago:
Volpe, Adventura, Caly3 and ATR.
I liked the Volpe very much, in design, wood inserts, finish, etc.. Liked the Spyder logo effect. etc. Nice italian design and workmanship.
I´m very fond of liner locks, wich I find more suitable for a one hand operation kinfe. (Yes, I accept a back lock may be sturdier, but I prefer liner locks, anyway)
But I don´t find it easy to work with the Volpe´s.
Lacks of some serrations, and the finger slips, and reach is too away to the front for the usual easy operation of this type of lock.
Ok, that´s only my humble point of view.
The ATR (SS black coating) is a Big, very strong no nonsense knife. Its Incredible sharp. Looks and feels like a tank. It will take a little time to get accustomed to a liner lock on the upper part of handle, but, is a liner lock anyway. I like this big knife a lot. And ... Woww! Its really sharp!
Adventura: I liked this knife for its shape and design, and will go to my collection. I still like it in my hands, but there are other Spydercos I like more for using daily.
Caly3. I ordered one after reading a lot of blessings for it in the Forums. Intention is to replace my all time favourite, the Calypso Jr, with black micarta handles I got some years ago (daily carry). I liked the little knife, but I don´t know if will be any better than the old one. I like the feel of G-10 anyway.
Time will tell.
Ok, its time to think in my future additions to my Spyder stable.
Thank you for "listening" these personal thought about my new knives.
