lol you have barley placed 1 of your big toes in about 1/2 way up the nail into the lake to test the water with that... Nice choice by the way, nice place to start with good dependable pocket knife. You will only get more discerning as time goes on good luck

That a 585? I have one, plain blade though. I love the assisted opening.

My first real knife. Don't know why I messed around with wannabes for so long, this thing is amazing.

Swanny;4369935]Just grabbed a crkt k.i.s.s. For a whopping 18 bucks on woot.com. Love how insanely slim it is. Still getting used to the opening/closing function.

I have their Drifter model. It is probably the best knife I've owned. Carry it everywhere, use it on everything.

I daily one of those Kershaw Skylines and its a bad as knife. Super light and thin so you never notice it, and its strong and sharp. Best pocket knife I have had so fare, plus its cheap so you dont have to stress about loosing it.

I don't have it yet because ups keeps fucking up and sending it to Barstow, but that little slider has a hardened steel bearing and a spring behind it, so it acts as the detent as well as the lock it's kinda like a reverse axis lock

Is the lock only to keep it open? To me it would kind of defeat the purpose of a SpiderCo knife to have it locked closed and not be able to spider drop it open.



I had an old knife I got from Canadian Tire for like $5 on sale that I had a lot of fun spider dropping. I think it was made by Buck and was Bears Grilles branded.

Gerber makes some decent stuff. They I think are an OEM for some U.S. and Canadian military knives as well...

the bear grilles shit is gerber afaik. I dont think I have seen anything with that branding from buck

Yeah, I lost/gave it way/broke it a while ago, so I don't really remember. Not a bad little piece for $5, but I wasn't super bummed to loose it. It was a pretty solid piece and I abused it a decent amount, too.
