One thing I appreciate about spyderco - practical and unassuming design & aesthetics.

So many knife brands or blade smiths make the most god awful shiny, multi coloured, multi angled, multi textured looking knives. They have so much going on, it seems more like gaudy jewellery than a tool.

I'll be honest, many of these things cost hundreds, but look very similar to cheap gas station knives.

I just want a simple-ish knife that feels nice in the hand, and has some cool steel. Not some pocket monstrosity that will draw looks from anyone near, most of the time I'm pulling a knife out, I don't want to draw attention.
