Jon, I can only second or third what others have already said about how fair you have made this buying decision. I hope this effort really does wonderful things for the forum and that constant burden of $$$ always baring down when doing some like this. I not only sent my check in, but took advantage ...

Why didn't you folks tell me ...............?

You folks have been holding out on me, and a disservice to others too, IMHO.
I mean, I've read a lot of nice things about the new Ti Military, but I never read anyway how truly fantastic this little (big) puppy really is. I mean WOW oh WOW :eek:
I had just a little left over from Xmas this year, and ...

If there is anyone else who might be willing to share, I would greatly appreciate it. I seem to be late to the party, having only gotten the Spydie addiction only 5 or 6 months ago, and therefore, I've only been on the list with Jeff for a short time; this is the one Spyderco that I really really ...

Racer, I tried to warn you about unplugging your computer, but it sounds like you're hooked now !! I tried to resist, but I don't listen to my own advise many times, and placed a couple of orders myself this morning.
Might be time to look for a 12 step Spyderholic meeting somewhere? There must be ...

Welcome Racer, and you're not alone as being both a gun nut and broke after getting involved with these people !! If it's not too late, unplug your computer and run for the hills, otherwise, as I've found in short order, it might already be too late !!!!
It all started with only wanting to replace a ...

bh49,
That would be sweet also. I am not a steel expert by any means, but I see the point on VG10. May I ask for another brand of USA steel then? I'm not picky, I just love the looks of the idea. The Damascus is a process, no, so how about a heavy duty Damascus steel on a HD Manix with Ti liners ...

Am I dreaming ?

Sometimes I give into day dreaming, but this morning it came upon me with my morning coffee. I was admiring my two newest Spydies; my Manix2 in all black and my new Damascus/VG-10 mule, and then it hit me !! What a fantastic, almost perfect combo the two would make. :spyder:
I know I'm new around ...

Now that's a great photo of what I want to do to my first Mule, but have to wait another month for those black scales; seems that your article did such a great job, that they're out of black, but going to do another run in early Nov. I don't mind the wait for such a great looking set of scales, so ...

Thanx for the pics, as I got mine yesterday myself, and I was wondering the same about that sheet in the box; this is the place for the answers, that's for sure. Any experience on how well the DLC holds up, or is it a rather new coating? I'm still new to all things Spyderco, but collection is ...

Although I'm new to the Spyderco collecting habit, after I first got my first new Manix2 only 5 months ago, I placed an order for this one when I first saw it was due to be released. Well, it came today, and I couldn't be more happy with my second Spyder purchase. I EDC my Manix2 for SD, and this ...

New guy here, and I started with a resent Manix 2 to replace a gift that I somehow lost after using it as an EDC for over 12 yrs.!
Love these new models, but I'm not sure I could afford to have such a nice collection as this one, unless I found out about them a couple of years ago. A little late to ...
