I don't know if you guys saw it, but i posted under my name (Anthony Cheeseboro) last week about my Dyad. I think it is one of the most practical Spydercos ever designed. It is not very thick and fits pretty comfortably in a jeans watch pocket. The Micarta scales have a fairly rough finish that gives a good grip and will not look too bad if it is scratched. The blades back lock like the Dyad lightweight. The only drawback is its size. The Dyad is large knife: about 8 3/8" with the serrated blade and 8" with the plain blade. The plain blade has very large choil, the result being that the cutting edge is only 2 3/4" on that blade. The plain blade is thin and flat ground, it is a great slicer or filet type of blade. I could see making this knife a #1 carry piece if versatility is a high necessity. The serrated blade is just as large as a full size Rescue's and can do just much work. The only drawback is the overall size of this knife. In a 3" jurisdiction it is well over the limit. I would love to see this model with 2.5-3" blade.
