Rorschach’s House O’ Spyders

Spyderco style

Heh, double bonus today. I found this entry (from Jan 2009!!) sitting in the Marsedit draft folder. So here it is:

Wow, seems like its been a while since we had a real Spyderco entry, eh? Fear not, as several months of waiting has paid off as one of my favorite Spyderco’s has arrived.

The ZDP Lum

A lovely surprise from my inspiring kids: the G10 Dragonfly. I had put this on a wish list ages ago and somehow they found it and bought one.

Suffice to say along with the CF Caly3 this will be in permanent and frequent rotation.

I love these wire clips, they really de-emphasize the “knife in the pocket” look.

One interesting note, the bevel shoulders near the choil are narrow a bit uneven. Easy to fix on the Sharpmaker.

Happy Fathers Day to all Dads out there!

May your basket be overfull with joy.

Sometimes an excellent product can be improved upon by a conscientious modder.
Such is the case with the Merkur Progress. Sent to the crafty studio of Mer, what comes out the other side is a heftier, yet more precise and manageable Progress. The weight and length are now perfect.

The original plastic adjustment knob is now replaced by a weighty, chrome, beautiful mechanism.
