Nice knives. If you can find one, get it. They are getting harder to find.

I had one when they first came out, as my luck would have it, by a freak of manufacturing, it broke at the Spydie Hole.
I threw in a drawer for 4 or 5 years, found this forum a year or so ago, and after talking to so many people here , I was convinced to write Spyderco. I shipped it to them, and they contacted me immediately to inform me that it was unrepairable , and they didn't make them anymore.
They did, however offer credit for the original MSRP, on their internet catalog. I wound up getting two Spydies from them, a S.S. Dragonfly, and an FRN Mini Dyad.
The best part was, this all happened during a passaround of the same knife, that Dave H. was sponsering, and I wound up buying it from him after the passaround.
Not only did I get to replace a favorite, previously unavailable knife, but I got one with history.

I haven't handled the C50, but the C25 was my EDC for about 9 months -- lost its spot to a DDR small Apogee. The Centofante design is still one of my favorite Spyderco knives. To be perfectly honest, I would actually prefer it without the secondary lock -- this is one the most secure liner locks you will ever see in a production knife.
