I was a member of the Amazon 5000 Expedition. It just finished 4859 miles from the Pacific to the Atlantic Ocean across South America. I was there for 2 legs of the expedition, a little under a month of the 11 months the expedition was going. Spyderco Knives were pretty popular folders on the expedition. In fact, the only non-spyderco stuff I saw for folders is the knife I brought.
I am a big believer in the concept of machete plus good folder and Spyderco certainly filled the folder role well.
This Pacific Salt was carried by various natives and saw extensive use.
Here is a typical example of how the folders were used. Timothy sharpened the end of a stick.
He also cleaned the fish to prepare it for grilling over coals.
Although a slightly less glamorous use, this small Spyderco saw heavy use as a toothpick.
