Yeah, what Vance said. STR does nice "low rider" clips.

I wanted a small spyderco for a smaller and lighter EDC. I've been really liking my Spyderco Ladybug. I have the plain edge in VG-10. Here's a pic of some:

I was looking at the ladybug, but I liked the Meerkat better. I especially like the little clip (easily moved to either side) that allows you to keep just inside you pocket or belt. Unsub would like it because its sharp, small, easily concealable, and easily placed in numerous ways over your body.

Does anyone know of a good site to get replacement folder clips? I want to swap one out so it rides lower. Thanks. if you want uber cool "STR" on bladeforums makes custom titanium low rider clips. he has his own section under the MAKERS site tip up on my RAT TRAP Here's a Military Steve did a clip for I used to own.

I just got a Pro Hunter. It compares favorably to the Rat Trap. Both are thin, lightweight, great EDC knives.

Well the caly3 is as awesome as I had hoped. If you cut a lot of cardboard or carpet then you need a ZDP blade. It is even better than my convex ground SS4 at cutting thick heavy cardboard. I liked it so much I bought an StreetBeat from Pitman.

It balances just behind the pivot. Nice ergos. The miniature choil makes it easy to do fine cutting with it. Overall, I like it just as much as the Rat Trap, except the warranty on the Rat Trap is better. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Logan: then just get a fixed blade!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> what the heck are you doing that is breaking folder locks? (not that I would call either of those folders "hard use" or anything)
