Spyderco Southard

[jill jackson]

It's a bit smaller folder than I normally carry hiking, but it's so well built I can forgive that. Lock-up is 100% solid, flips very smooth, carries small in your front pocket, it's fast to pull out and the blade is well designed. Hard not to love it. Not missing the bigger knives I generally carry out in the woods.

Great pictures. I'm on the waiting lists of a few sellers and plan to pick one up as my next purchase. Seems like the excitment for these knives are growing as more and more people pick them up.

Is that really so different than all the fine knives that come out of Japan? I can't see why maybe you can enlighten me?
Because I'm certain I could have posted pictures of one of the new Japanese Spydercos and you would have not said a snide word about it.

the quality of this knife is right up there with CRK imo.

Taiwan is an ally of the United States. We've taken and given a lot of guff to the reds over Taiwan. They may want to call themselves China and China doesn't want them be called China but...Taiwan is Taiwan and China is China...two different places. And that only matters if you have China issues.

They aren't making Spydercos like that anywhere else either at this time. I have a few from Taiwan and they are the best period and I have over 125 from the USA and Japan.

People are people.

Great pics Jill ! Looks great, and I really like the brown G-10. Does it flip with zero wrist action ?

Sure does. In fact it's as good as any flipper with bearings I have. Even a 500 dollar mid-tech.

mine is sitting at the house, which I'm not at and won't be for a couple more weeks.

Thanks!
I'm trying hard to not buy more knives at this time, but this one may just get me.
