Is it bad I like this?

Plug ugly wee buggers.

It came to me. The one I was thinking of was the Subcom. I got within a gnat's of buying a Ti/VG10 one some years ago and then didn't follow up.

I had one in every flavour I think, Subclaw, Wharcom, Subcom, and a Ti one. They were good little knives. The Subclaw was a superb box cutter.

I resisted the subcom stuff. I think I should have one or two though.

The spydernox are cool. I’ve seen someone do a Barlow style homemade blade for a sak recently.

I still have a Boker Warcom, great boxcutter and i used it work for a while but the blade would partially open in my pocket - tip up as you push your hand in to get something else. Swapped it for a Dragonfly and a few others but ended up with a Delica gor day to day carry.

There are some Spydernox knives using blades from the Bug, cricket or grasshopper range that look good. I'd quite like a nice alox sak with a Roadie blade.

The Subcom is still gettable on the Bay and from some dealers. The 2.0 has a D2 blade.

The Spydernox thing I could get on board with. They look great.

Seen these Spydernox things? I thought they were photoshop tricks, and maybe they are ... but apparently not.

An 84mm alox Cadet and a Dragonfly blade. The bottom one seems to have like a Buck lock on it. I think they are Etsy-type mods

You can already tell they'll either be vapourware, or close to £200

Oddly appealing.

Absolutely

Someone here must be able to make some....

The cadavers alone are going to push it up there.

And that’s the issue! One knife for the price of two.

I think it would be fairly easy if you had the donors. 84mm SAKs for the dragonfly blade looks like, maybe some grinding on the stops to make it sit right.

These look quite pleasant, possibly because they're shiny.

I can see the appeal, but rendering a Dragonfly useless to add the blade to a Victorinox is crazy. Those Dragonflys have such an appeal, snappy, tough little brutes. I couldn’t do it.

The spyder bug ones are neat too and much less expensive.

A dragonfly-alike would be a preferable donor, you have to grind down the bump stop etc anyway.
