I bought one of these for $150 earlier in December. I got it, and was very impressed with it: from the build quality to the feel of the action, it's as good as anything I have and better than most. I then kept looking at the sale and thinking, "At this price, I should buy a spare." I didn't when I ...

My para 3 came perfect!
Mine too and it came in yesterday. Best of the 3 LWs I have in my collection. Perfect action and super sharp blade from the factory. I can already tell this is going to get a lot of pocket time!

Ok Spyderco is taking the super size a little too seriously 🤪
If it floats, throw it on top of the jeep, head down to the beach and go surfing. 🏄‍♂️

Re: How many of You are collecting exclusively (or nearly) Spyderco knives?

A large portion of mine are Spyderco and I have been slowly getting rid of the other I had that don't get much use anymore. Love the knives and love what the company does exploring with steels and designs and the transparency here on the forum.
