Spyderedged EDCs? Your Favorite? And Why?

That will teach me to post while in bed and half asleep! Sorry.

Cuz maybe there are no PM2's with a fully-serrated Spyderedge? ;)


I tried EDC'ing SE Delicas and Natives but they didn't prove as useful as their PE siblings.

But I do have SE Dragonfly, Delicas, Tasman Hawk, and Spyderhawk in my toolbox and fishing tackke box.

My Delica is my favorite because it's the only Spyderedge I have. Would really dig a Spyderedge Salt.

Haven't carried it a whole lot, but did for the past two weeks at work. Doesn't get much use in an office but it'd have been ready if needed.

I'm finding it truly amazing at how many people are using the DELICA model as their pick for a Spyderedged EDC. Because now I'm really wondering what the newer SE Endura might be like as well? Hey if it works for you then by all means stay with it and learn to sharpen your Spyderedge and maintain it.

However I'm becoming more convinced that one Brother from another Forum told me about the performance of Spyderedged blades with a "full flat grind". It does seem like they have less resistance overall and the best model so far I can use to back that up with is the older C-54 big original Calypso model in SE. Unfortunately they didn't make the Sprint Run of a couple of years back in SE but I'm sure there are still some of the older C-54 model Calypso out there if a guy wants to spend time looking for one.

Many of the guys on the other Forum are touting the praises of the SE Stretch model which is also a full flat grind as well. Another guy sent me a message reminding me that the original ATS-55 G-10 Police model was also a full flat grind and it's also a great Spyderedged cutting machine.
 
For me, the newer all black Pacific Salt SE is really good. I carried one all last summer as soon as it warmed up to summer like temps. It's so thin and light that it doesn't drag down thin fabric shorts. The serration pattern is more shallow than its Salt 1 counterpart. I really prefer the shallower patter since it cuts a lot smother.
 
I've been carrying a clipit se dfly in my lr pocket for the last 3-4 years. I find the se is very useful around the yard and the house. I sometimes
carry my caly jr se in micarta instead of the dfly.
I always have a big pe folder in my rf pocket. All the bases are covered with this combo.
 
In my youth I used to destroy Spyderedge knives so I moved away from them. Though in January I started a new job and bought s leatherman wave to carry in edition to my plain edge Endura.

The serrated blade in the Leatherman has come in handy a few times when the Endura wouldn't cut it...... pun intended...

I have been looking for a excuse to grab a serrated Native so I will be herring one eventually to work back into to small rotation.
 
For a long time my EDC was the D'Allara Rescue in full SE glory. For a long time at work it was that or an H1 Mariner in SE.

That's not the only positive testimony I've heard about how rugged and efficient the older D'Allara model is. I remember the one I had was really beefy and felt great handling it. I only used mine in a limited capacity but I could tell that it would be an excellent first responder's knife.

Just like I told the guys over at the other Forum about the long time popularity of the ENDURA model in Spyderedge. It's truly time tested and there is a reason that it's become an iconic model for decades. I would love to have one of the G-10 SE Endura models myself if I could find one in decent shape. I still say the C-60 Massad Ayoob in Spyderedge along with the C-54 Calypso model in SE were their two greatest ever in my opinion and I base that on actually usage.

But again my hats off to the Endura model>> it's one Spyder you just can't go wrong with.
 
Pacific Salt or Aqua Salt, because they both are just tooooooooo fine. :thumbup:
 
When serrations are needed , one can't do better than a Spyderco Hawkbill. I prefer a nice stainless Steel Handle Harpy myself , VG-10 of course. Somehow , l find that Hawkbills and Serrations are just made for each other.
 
GB2 - 6/6
Endura HAP40/ZDP-189 - 5.5/6
Manix S110V - 5.5/6 (the blade length is on the absolute minimum for me, but strangely enough I find it very usable)

I find that Spyderco's SE Hawkbills are an extremely valuable tool to have. My all time favorite is the older G-10 Harpy from years gone by. It does encourage my soul as to how many new Spyderco fans are finding out just how function one of Spyderco's Hawkbill blade. There are some other serrated specialty type blades that are also great for all kinds of vital uses. The H-1 Salt Hawkbills do extremely well in harsh environments. It's a shame that so many people have passed up on using a Hawkbill as a companion blade.

I hope that they re introduce the Dyad , one day . I used to HAVE one in ATS-55. It has one plain edge , and one serrated.
I really think Spyderco should make something like that again. A knife with two blades , one plain , one serrated.
Or maybe even a double edged knife , with one plain edge and one serrated edge ( I'm thinking of a knife with a blade like one of those Rambo knives with saw teeth on one edge)

Oh I totally agree with you "Carbonsteelfan" because I even EDCed a full sized C-44 Dyad for over a year and I still carry it on occasions. Having one full plain edged blade and one full Spyderedged blade just makes excellent sense IMO. Even if they don't do another one of the Dyad models I do hope they never lose the concept of a double bladed folder with a PE & SE blade both.

As much of a fan of serrated blades as I am I will openly admit that I probably do between 60 to 65% of my cutting jobs with a plain edged blade. But when I have a tough or difficult cutting job I immediately go for one of my full Spyderedged blades and they can do many jobs better than a plain edged blade can. So having both edge types is really the practical way to go. But if they want to improve and modify the original Dyad models hey I'm all for that as well. Because I truly love the C-44 model. I just wish they would find a way to implement a lanyard attachment on it. Because I use lanyards on all my Spyders when I'm anywhere close to water.

The Masaad Ayoob is by far my favorite Spyderedge of all time, but it doesn't see any pocket time!
