Sal, just wanted to take a few minutes to thank you for the "Spydie Hole".

Some things we take for granted. Like using your right arm. Unfortunately, sometimes life has a little mishap!
I hurt my arm at work a week or so ago, damaging the ulnar nerve, which resulted in three fingers, half of my hand, and part of my forearm numb. Not so bad except that it is still numb! (the doc is giving it a few more days before taking any more "drastic measures")
Anyway... thanks to "The Hole"... Getting my Spyderco out and working with the left hand isn't any problem. (*laughing maliciously*) ... "Beware cardboard boxes, I'm back!!"

Seriously, the hole works great with left or right hand. Much better than those (easy to slip off of) thumb studs. I just wish the Jess Horn Micarta had an ambi-clip. I know that the ease of opening a Spyderco is old news to all the Spydie nuts in this forum, but you'll never realize what a great invention it is until you have no alternative! (even if it's temporary)

As someone once said. "A knife-less man, is a life-less man"

Thanks again Sal.

Hey guys,

Thanks for all the "Sympathy E-mails"...lol...( I think I'll live

I posted this as a sincere thanks to Sal, and as a reminder to everyone how much more versatile a Spyderco is than alot of it's competitors!

Thanks Again Y'all,

Mark AKA- Excalibur
 
Hey, I hope your arm gets better. Is it carpal tunnel? That's what it sounds like. Been there, done that. Hated it!

As to the "hole", I love it. I just got a BM 720 Pardue Axis, a very nice little knife, but it desparately needs a hole! Yes, I know that you can pull back on the lock toggles and flick it, just like a REKAT Rolling Lock, but everything is smaller and my arthritic fingers just find it more difficult. To paraphrase the Cowardly Lion in the Wizard of Oz, "If it only had a hole."

Excalibur,

Sorry to hear that Mark, you are a mess, bud>!? Hope stuff is ok.

The ambidexterous hole is what I like the Spyderco line so much is because it makes the knife any hand user friendly. Now it would be nice if ALL of the GFN Spyderco models were made tip DOWN like the newer Calypso LTWT JR!

It reminds me of an old WW2 vet who lost his right arm in the Pacific. He swore by Spyderco as the only "one-handed" knife and he carried 3 different models. Hope your arm is doing better Excaliber. Should I be lookin' for you in a new Spyderco commercial. I bet you'd even work for knives, huh? It's nice to see practical uses and benefits of Spydercos instead of just the "tactical" aspect again. Here's to a quick recovery w/ out doctor and blades being involved.
