What Is Your Favorite "Miniature" Spyderco?

Gene · Jan 30, 2000

Shootist16's thread was very interesting.
My question now is what is/was your favorite MINIATURE Spyder? Spyderco was famous for their minis in their early days and in MHO was their best work.
My favorite was their "Spyderkey". This mini exudes quality that their newest "Police" mini can't touch and this from a guy that wears the new Police mini around his neck everyday, (and by the way is showing "spots" on the liner after 8 months of continuous wear).
The Spyderkey was a little larger than the recent Police and my favorite version was the few that came with stag handles. It still was not so large that you couldn't wear it around your neck if so inclined, (more a "man's" necklace knife), but was made for keychains.
There were many, so what are your favorites?

My favorite miniature would be the LAdybug in carbon fiber with the ATS-55 blade. The sheepsfoot Ladybug is sweet also.

Gene, what other handle materials did the Spyderkey come with?

The mini Police necklace. Makes a statement.
And fully functional if need be.

I still hold out hope that the upcoming Tie Clipit will have abalone scales instead of stainless!

The best mini...........Dragonfly Lightweight
(fully serrated blade)!

Knave,
It came with a stag handle at one time. It was actually made as a tie clip but I have seen the regular Spyderkeys with stag scales, (want one badly).
Actually I posted this thread not to compete with Shootist16's thread. He's talking about Spyderco's SMALL knives such as the Cricket, Toad, etc., etc... I was referring to TRUE miniatures like the Spyderkey and the Mini Police. There were many and just was wondering who liked what. I love the Spyder minis, especially the early ones.
I also agree with you Knave that I hope Sal makes the tie clip in abolone. Hell, make it in abalone AND stainless, WITH and WITHOUT the tie clip, (I don't wear a tie anymore thank God). I'll buy 'em all!
Also, if any of you folks have any of the early minis out there that want to sell or trade, (I have tons of new in box Spyders), give me an E-mail.
