Spyderco Grasshopper

[cerbera147]

Is anyone planning on getting one?

Apparently Heinnie will have them in the next week for £11.95 



The Bug is too small to be truly useful whereas this appears to be a nice legal EDC folder until I get a UKPK anyway

If you can use a Classic, then you can probably get away with using that too

Still too tiny to be truly useful though in my opinion

It's 6 cm blade, not that small.

It's 6 cm blade, not that small.

Like you, I've got fairly big-ish hands though

Yeah it's definitely too small to to any extended work with, but perfect for living on the key chain for the mail and packaging. I don't think the line is intended for anything other than that anyway.

It's over a 2" blade so I'd expect it to be plenty useful.    I may invest at some point.

I own a BUG and a HONEYBEE so I will probably get the GRASSHOPPER.   Just because they are family and should be together.

Available on Monday 

I can't decide on whether to get it 

I would love the 'original' UKPK but that is looking unlikely so the new FRN version is looking good but no one can give a release date  Should I wait for it?  Decisions 

If it had a pocket clip I'd grab it as it will probably ride on my pocket

Found these comparison pics on Spiderco forums

Junk steel (and I can't believe I'm saying that about a Spyderco, Chinese-made or not).  You'd probably be better served by one of the smaller Byrd folders.

Err, unless it's just a looker or something for UK-legal carry
