Spyderco SUPER CLASSICS

[JD Spydo]

I agree with most that the titanium Lum tanto is a great folder.
I never liked the Ayoob folders looks or functionality.
The large Calypso was a sleek design but the absence of liners seems a weak point, also a large number of them have warped blades near the tip.

As for trend setters, the Titanium/ATS34 Police was released at a time when only custom makers were using these materials.

You hit on a good point RECOIL>> I would second the motion that a sprint run or re-intro of the big Calypso should have liners. It truly makes me wonder why a knife that size didn't. However the sleek and elegant design makes me look beyond that.

I'll be the first to admit that the Ayoob or the Lum Tanto aren't for everyone. This is where personal preference comes in. But I do like the way the Ayoob feels in my hand and the ergos feel right to me but I see why others wouldn't like it. Especially if you love more conventional type blades.

But one thing is for sure>> when any of the 3 of those models go up for bid or for trade they always, without exception get a lot of interested folks quickly lining up.

Hey I know 2 good friends that hate the Dodo. Personally I wouldn't be without my PE Blue Dodo. And so goes the Spyder world
