First Spyderco of 2015....and the only Spyderco in my collection at the moment (blasphemy, I know).

The BladeForums.com 2024 Traditional Knife is ready to order! See this thread for details:
https://www.bladeforums.com/threads/bladeforums-2024-traditional-knife.2003187/
Price is $300 $250 ea (shipped within CONUS). If you live outside the US, I will contact you after your order for extra shipping charges.
Order here: https://www.bladeforums.com/help/2024-traditional/ - Order as many as you like, we have plenty.
I'd like to hear your thoughts when you get it. It looks really great, but the price seems a little high for steel handles. I do understand why though, being a tribute to Carpenter, and I like a hefty knife so it's on my list.
As for my first Spyderco of 2015, I am heavily leaning towards the lil Lionspy.
I'll definitely throw in my two cents when it arrives.
It pushes a lot of the right buttons for me. A great US company that's been around a long time and made from their products exclusively. All steel construction being heavy but it'll last forever.
And what's an ounce one way or another really after carrying the Tatanka around?
And just a bonus, it's got that letter C etched on the handle. That's the first letter of my last name. I'll get some mileage out of that. :thumbup:
Sprint PPT will likely be my only one for this year, barring any new announcements at the Amsterdam meet. Maybe a Gayle Bradly too if I can find the funds but, most of my knife funds for the year are already allocated to a Southard Tolk.
