Thanks, Ray!  :cheers:

I've got big hands, so this Spydie works well for me.

Simple liner lock, nothing fancy here. But a great knife.

It is called the Spyderco Gunting. Designed by Bram Frank. He designed it as a tool of escalation. The Spyderco was his second model. He now is up to a 5th generation with other companies.

I just realized the size comparison and here is a better one with the OHT.

I like a good-sized handle (read 'big'), that looks really good!

Thanks for the comparison shot.  :tu:

That is one heck of an interesting Spyderco.  I like it a lot.  Certainly a conversation starter.

Nice combo, Borg.

Is it fair to call the top knife a folding Kiridashi?

Never seen one of those... with a penetration-limiter  :D   :tu:

it is a kinetic oopener, designed to be pressed on an opponent (laid on its skin or clothing) to open and deploy the blade, and also to be used as a kubaton or impact device when the knife is closed for a less than lethal option  :salute:

Thanks for the links...they made me jump off the fence and hit that buy now button! In the past I used the Police as a compliant tool as it is on the long side also. The Civilian was well a little bit to much. Again thanks  :hatsoff:

He did have good taste, and wise...he was the one who told me to always buy two when you find something you really like! The knife is in storage with some of the other SAK he had. :cheers: :hatsoff:

Now that, my friend, looks for you, quite a light load.
Makes me think, you're staying home, or facing a lengthy road.

Went a bit smaller and lighter myself today.

I've been having a renewed love affair with Spydies recently......

For me, the Delica is one of those knives where its real-world performance seems to exceed its simple appearance and design. In my opinion, one of the truly great pocket knife designs.

And that Delica has the ZDP 189 steel. How do you like it and how is it holding up? I’m more familiar with 440 and S30V.
I like the SAK and they just can’t be beat on the tool selection, craftsmanship and price. Spyderco has always been with me untill 2 years ago when I traded mine off for some Randall knives. Untill a couple of days ago...the other blade...
