Like most, I've possessed my fair share of Spyderco's and have really enjoyed their capabilities!
Had my eye on the Spyderco/Viele SP-42 for some time but has been rather low on the purchase list (isn't it hell to have to many competing blade tastes!). Haven't heard too much about them nor had the opportunity to play with one.
My Dad always gets a knife from us for X-mas (and birthdays and hell.....all other special occasions). This year is no different, so I decided to go with re-released SP-42 (plain edge). Ordered it a week or so ago and it arrived this past Friday.
Anticipation wasn't too bad until I had the box in front of me! As I was opening the box......that little knife voice kept running it's repeat message thru the brain matter ~ ~ "This had better be cool!"........ Finally got the knife out of the box/plastic wrap and was absolutely amazed (and then some). What a knife! Superb fit and finish! ! And has that wicked sharp Spyderco edge! ! !
What an exceptional buy.
So exceptional......it's now my knife! !
Have no fear ~ a second SP-42 is on it's way for Dad!
My hat is off to the good folks @ Spyderco (and Howard Viele) again! !
