Does anyone else like Benchmades with thumbhole in the blade? They seem to be my favorites. I like all benchmades, but these are my favorites. Sep 4, 2. Love my SHOT knife release. Sep 4, 3. Matt, they're my favorite Benchmades too. Don't forget the and grips.
Sep 4, 4. Sep 5, 5. Full size. A star with 3 corners is a geometrical shape, even if it sits in a circle. A star with four corners is a gemetrical shape even if it sits in a square.
I am sure you can figure out which two companies I am referring to. As a matter of fact, Mercedes trademarked BOTH designs, but since they ever only used one, Lincoln is well within its rights to use the other symbol. But a much more striking example are car grills, which are clearly trademarked.
I am sure some people would have a hard time to imagine how the shape of an air inlet could be trademarked, but just imagine what would happen if Toyota would suddenly decide to make a car with the characteristical kidney shape of a BMW.
Boy, this is probably as close to a full blown war Germany would ever going to come again. But of course no car company would be so stupid to do that.
They know the consequenses and they know that a company the size of BMW will enforce it to the maximum extent of the law. The problem here is size. Spyderco is not a huge global company nor do the companies that rip of Spyderco are big enough to have law department that would raise the red flag. Sal stated, that even though his claims are enforceable, it may not be economical for Spyderco to do so.
That is the sad truth. Or for a custom maker to get a licence. I mean, Spyderco isn't making any money with these licences. I am a student and I could afford one! Nobody credits Spyderco in their ads with "Spyderco pocket clip". But Sal always credits Mr. Walker, Mr. Reeves etc. That is why I will always continue to support Spyderco.
Post by Vincent » Sun Jul 24, pm when i first started to use and collect knives. My first knife was a Para Militray. Down the line i found Benchmade, so I bought one. Thern i got my Military and that was it. I sold it and today only own a Benchmade , which i think is crap but is my brothers,. I dont know if Benchmade has another level of thinking somthing is sharp. But when you get somthing sharpened by them. There idea and there customers ideas of a sharp knife, is horrible. There is idea of scary sharp is just being able to decently cutting though Pc paper.
Spyderco is on another level on how sharp there knives are. I sent in the and to be sharpened, becasue i just coiuldent get them sharp like my spydies on my sharpmaker. We take the tactical folding knife for granted nowadays, but back when this came out, it was revolutionary. It was the first knife to offer the Round Hole for one-handed ambidextrous opening and the first to feature a pocket clip.
Although the knife is no longer in regular production, it did come back for a Sprint Run in The blade is 2. The original had a stainless steel handle, but the updated version has dark green textured G scales. It should go without saying that this knife was the catalyst of the company and helped influence many of the knives they and others made in the future.
With law enforcement clamoring for a slim, easy-to-carry folder that could hold its own against a fixed blade, Spyderco stepped up to the plate. The result was the formidable Police model. At the time it was released in , it had the longest blade to handle ratio and was an instant hit among police personnel around the world.
After more than 20 years and three generations of the Police, it remains the oldest Spyderco in production, so it's not surprising it's one of the most well-known knives from the company. Each of the three versions stands out on its own, but we'll focus on the original C07 Police. It has a solid stainless steel handle and long 4. The blade is also hollow-ground from VG stainless steel and features a classic swedge at the point. This serrated version has the SpyderEdge, but it also comes in a plain and partially serrated edge.
Even though it's been in production for more than 20 years, the Police remains a popular choice among law enforcement and casual users. The Spyderco Military , fondly referred to as the Millie by fans, is one of the most mimicked knives around. Not only is it one of the most iconic Spyderco knives but it also made our list of most iconic knives ever. As the cornerstone of the Save and Serve lineup, the Military is a high-performance and lightweight folder that's ready for action.
It came about when someone asked Sal Glesser, 'If your son were going into the military what folding knife would you send him with? The Millie has a 4-inch blade that securely locks with a liner lock into the slender G handle. The success and popularity of the Military is further demonstrated through the numerous variations designed over the years.
In , Spyderco shook up the knife world by introducing two new models: the Endura and the Delica. When the knife was released, it not only exposed Spyderco to the masses but it was also thoroughly mocked for its bizarre look. Needless to say, the knife became highly respected and widely copied. Now in its fourth iteration, the Endura 4 has a nice 3. It has fantastic ergonomics and is considered a fantastic EDC. The Delica is the little brother of the Endura and in many ways inseparable from the bigger model.
The two are often mentioned together and both have benefitted from Syderco's constant upgrading and updating.
Like the Endura, the Delica 4 is the latest version of the knife and features a smaller 2. The Delica, like the Endura, is an affordable, high-performance folder that's lightweight and boasts easy, one-handed opening.
It's hard to see it now that the market is saturated with similar knives, but these two knives truly changed the knife industry and have been the two top sellers at Spyderco for years. Part of Spyderco's philosophy is to inject convenience and innovation into its knives. Many of these innovations have set the standard for other knife brands.
Here's a look at the most important things Spyderco has patented or introduced to the knife industry. The most recognizable and revolutionary feature is the Spyderco Trademark Round Hole. Heck I would go for the Boker. Not only a good knife, but cheaper! Let them figure out the legalities. Lugsalot EDC Junkie!!!!! Joined: Aug 8, Messages: 6, Likes Received: The Boker offering certainly doesn't have the choil that the Spydie has, which means one cannot choke-up on the blade to prevent it closing so easily I hear the spring on the UKPK is fairly strong and not in any danger of closing unexpectedly, but still My money's with Spyderco on this one, as it usually is.
I think we all can agree that we like some of Boker's offerings, but their tendency to put out copies is a little depressing, in my opinion. Joined: Nov 4, Messages: Likes Received: The reference to the hole being a "Spyderco hole" is almost certainly just the ad copy from this site and not how Boker would describe it, assuming there was no prior legal agreement if im not mistaken Spyderco has an patent on an opening hole, but quite how that applies and what scope the patent covers i have no clue.
The UKPK was created to be the maximum knife one can legally carry in public in the UK without a good reason like for your job or for camping , so its no huge surprise the two knives would be very similar if they are both aiming for the same market and purpose - but there is definitely a lot of "inspiration" taken by Boker from Spyderco imo.

Phill makes a good point about identical "design aims" producing similar products.
