Who else has this problem

All my cardboard sheaths for large knives say "Cobalt" on 'em

I find the spear point interesting on this one :thumbsup:

What folders are good for

That's a nice old Spyderco....

Very cool.

Always liked that spear point blade design on those big knives—looks like it can take on anything. :thumbsup:

That’s a sweet one for sure, and I really dig that Spydie!

Those FBM protos have always been one of the best designs

should make it into the production line!!!

Original ergo mistress did it with a fusion handle.

Ever the contrarian. <sigh>

The subtle rise in the spine lends a bulbous look to the blade. Not sure if I've ever seen a big blade with a spearpoint that was appealing to my eye. YMMV.

I once scored a Bowie 'Proto' FBM from a 'Ganza. To my eye, it was nothing like the sale pic, the clip was too short and too deeply curved. And the scales were fat. Can't remember if I sold it, or Garth took it back.

Yes, I'm picky. Looks matter, especially in a Mistress. Her lines should be sleek and purposeful.

CG FBM, every day.

I think when you have Mistresses you have to embrace variety, if not what's the point?

CGFBM is one if my all time favorites.

I've got a forsaken mistress coming that may usurp it however. Time will tell.

I guess the only problem I have is that my infi cant morph into other infi.

What I can see of it looks nice. What model is that?

It is the lower one here Guy. I sent it back to Spyderco 9/10 years ago and had them refinish it. Can't use it now LOL

Oh, nice. I have the Spydie Lum design with the leaf shaped blade.

I am not responsible for any problem Tony has. :thumbsup:

All very valid points out of Resinguy.

And also very easily countered by Tony's statements about a variety of Mistresses

Multiple mistresses are never a bad thing, right?

That said, CGFBM remains my choice for a one and only...at least until I can get myself an SHBM to give another go (the handle didn't sit right with me back then, but oh the balance! A miracle of perfect big knife balance on the one Asym edge SHBM I made the mistake of selling too soon)

Love the creative use of the Lum Spyderco btw...
