The Spyderco designs with the thumb ramp, thumb hole and piercing ability blades were so well thought out that Spyderco used it in several designs of blades.

Man, this knife is just awesome, i'm not from USA, and where I live we don't have this types of knife...hope one day I can go to USA and buy some nice knifes, they are just amazing!

[WeAllJuggleKnives]

Awesome, I'm glad you are finding knives you like enough to acquire.

[WeAllJuggleKnives]

Thanks. Yeah, people sometimes mistake this for looking like the Delica's blade, but it's substantially bigger :]

Those handle scales are gorgeous! They look like a holographic diamond plate! great review!

[WeAllJuggleKnives]

Yeah I think it should have a more pointy tip also, another commenter mentioned that it could be modified easily though by grinding the mini bump down a bit.

[WeAllJuggleKnives]

Yeah it's a very efficient design.

I assumed that you might recommend the R, and I bought a Caly 3.5 CF at the same time.
These are great knives- light, strong and aesthetically pleasing. Your videos look great in HD.

Congratulations to that knife! It is beautiful.

I got the cricket with the same fiber glass finish. It is awesome. I really like the depth that it creates. Like those old "3d" prints that you have to stare for hours to make them pop. I was thinking of getting the R, but I rather get 2 delicas for the same price :)

Looks like a luxurious version of the Endura

The Spydie Millie Ti for me, the Spydie R for my Tuesday afternoon girl friend,
Nice blade. Very classy. Looks strong withe metal inlays for the handles.

[NorwegianKnifeDude]

That's a classy-looking handle material right there!

Here's to hoping Spyderco does more runs with the Nishinjin glass fiber scales. They are simple stunning. I'd love to see a Sage with Nishijin scales, or maybe a Para 2! Oh the possibilities! Great video. Thanks especially for the size comparisons. Wasn't sure on this one, and may have to track it down now.

Very good vid, Israel. I definitely need to get me one of these. Have you gotten the Spyderco Tuff yet...and if so...I'm looking forward to your video on it!

[WeAllJuggleKnives]

Thanks. I don't think I'll get a Spyderco Tuff, but xiuxiu1313 has a good review of it up.

[WeAllJuggleKnives]

I'd go with a Microtech Socom Elite, or maybe a Benchmade 710

Very cool Israel, looks almost like "fiber diamondplate" scales.

[Knifeguyyy]

Wow those scales are for real!! Very nice piece there Israel!! Hey you should check out the Scskulls lanyard beads I got in. I don't recall seeing many lanyards on your knives, but I bet you'd like these beads. Thanks for another great review!!)

Nice Knife. With the Gimping on the Knife and the Length of the blade it could also be used a Tactical EDC folder.
Long Live R&R and the American Dream!!!
