Product Description
Created by Danish designers Jens Anso and Jesper Voxnaeus, owner of Vox Knives and winner of the prestigious International Forum 2013 Good Design award, the Pingo Titanium is a limited edition release from Spyderco that’s now available through Massdrop Read More
I bought two of these little beauties about three years ago--one's of them is a safe queen. Added a dual thumb stud that fit snug in that spyderhole. There is a learning curve, but you can flick it open with authority. It is one of the easiest knife to sharpen I came across and my user is screeeaming sharp! Only downside with the titanium is that it will show scratches and is a fingerprint magnet, but even after years of use, the anodized logo still looks fresh. My two cents...
I purchased a MD Spyderco Pingo in a version that was $100 less. I understand it isn't as nice as this version, but I have my spending limits. The Pingo has become my constant companion carry knife replacing a specific Gerber that is the same size. Although I prefer a classic drop point, I have grown accustom to the sheepsfoot style. I had to check out this drop and if it would have been the other model I would have gladly purchased another one for a backup as knifes have the nasty habit of wandering off. Bottom line is I consider this to be a superb well designed knife for my needs.
I own a Pingo, and these are good little travel knives (or edc knives depending on where you live). If you need a slipjoint for whatever reason, this is not a bad choice.
fhoodI actually really like the looks of this one, funky logo and all
I'm afraid I'm going to pass on it, due to some recent large purchases...but otherwise I really wouldn't mind owning this one myself
I have one, and like it. I take it whenever I go overseas, because it's legal most places, and looks cute enough while keeping plenty of function.
I know what everyone means about "the ugly blue spider graphic", but in practice I've had lots of comments on how it looks nice/cute/cool etc. It feels good to use, and I haven't wished to change anything, although I don't use it often when I'm not overseas. That makes it a bit of a niche item in today's knife world, but value is good at around a hundy.
TigermanUrm, what I was trying to say at the end was that if you already have a titanium frame lock flipper, then getting this knife will add more to your capabilities than getting another TFF.
TigermanThere's a lot to be said for a nice blade you can legally carry about in most of the world. The fact that it's a bit short and non-locking shouldn't actually affect its EDC utility.
I love my PM2 but the fact that it is illegal to have in your pocket in many countries is a serious drawback for a pocket knife.
It's not really my type of knife, but it was recently discontinued. I recommend picking one up even if you don't plan on using it. You could wait a few years and sell it for a profit since it will be rare.
One big advantage of the standard-issue Pingo (which can be had for about $40–50 depending on price changes) is that, with its lack of an integral liner/frame lock, it's very light—1.9 oz. This guy—at 2.9 oz, or 53 % heavier—loses that distinct selling point. At this price, you could buy a normal Pingo, with a great N690Co blade, and pick up some truly interesting (lightweight) custom scales in Micarta or G10.
