Have several customs, but seem to use more Spyderco knives than any other production blade. I like the Caly 3 (zdp-189), have a well used endura (zdp-189), a production Hinderer, and this one is almost all factory except the scale. I think Spyderco should have made them this way, the new Southard Flipper with a good piece of carbon fiber. It is one heck of a production knife, and now, I like the color too!
