I am particularly interested in either the Day Hiker or the Woodlander.

Good grief - Spydercos that look like proper knives ! They`d look even better if they didn`t retain the token Spyderco styling.

Hehehe...know what you mean but they are excellent knives. Now I am undecided....buy the Manix or one of the Hossoms.

BTW, pics of the sheath please.

Nah, buy a proper knife instead.
Oh yeah - the sheath. Too late to take photo now - remind me again tomorrow in an email.

There's better stuff than the Hossom but pocket knives don't come better than the Manix.....not at that price point.

Oh yeah - te to take photo now - remind me again tomorrow in an email.
Certainly your Lordship. Would you like your tea in bed as well?

No thankyou Bana my man......I always find that drinking tea in bed gives one a back ache. ( :wink: )
I don`t know what you have to be bolshie about considering that you were supposed to remind me about two weeks ago !
Best pocket knife ? Isn`t a Spyderco. The Al Mar SLB is lovely but £77. Boker Magnum Subcom is nice if you like a slimline fatty ..... or the Gerber Fatty at a similar price. I think that my next pocket knife might be the SOG Blink though.

Cheeky! You can jolly well do your own remembering from now....because I obviously am not too good at it. ;)

Are you having a laugh? We are talking knives, not cigar cutters. :roll:

:wink: :mrgreen:

Better call it a night or you will have me up all night cracking jokes.

Cheerio!

You have to pay more for the cigar cutter version.......which is OK if you need a cigar cutter I suppose.......and don`t use the knife for anything else otherwise it would be a cigar crusher.

The last time I opened my mouth about cigar cutters here -I got a 42mm boot in the mouthitis.
Why not? a man's got to cut cigars sometime...
