Spyderco Forums

If you want to save a few bucks (well, more than a few), Knifejoy has a number of their Delicas, Enduras, and Endelas on sale at the moment.

Doggonit, you people...

I bought a 20CV Delica a month or two ago... Now, because of this thread, I ordered another one!

You all are costing me money!!!

Yea, an FRN version would be easier on the wallet. I intend to carry and use my new Superhawk, but it was not cheap on the secondary.


I hear ya, Sir!

I believe I got the Calypso Jr. next. The rest of the oldies, in no particular order (because I can't recall) are the Massad Ayoob, Shabaria, and Mouse (v.1).

Spydercos ...

I have three Spydercos from the Taichung plant -- the Techno 1, Perrin PPT, and Sage 1... And absolutely no complaints about the quality of any of them.

I'd like to add a Canis to that part of my collection.

Hi JFrame,

Welcome to our forum.

Thanks, Sal!

For me, one model that never got the love it should have was the Scorpius. I bought two of them around 2003, one plain edge and one serrated. They were slim and solid knives and I love anything with a swedge. The grip was extremely positive for a SS handle and the short blade had ample belly.
