Congrats! The Para 2 is awesome...

It was my first Spyderco as well (the 20cp sprint) :D

That did not deter me from getting 4 other "lesser" models in a very short time. I love and use them all!

After seeing CXXX's list :eek: , I realise I dont have an addiction after all :)

My wife will be glad to hear that!

Maybe I should celebrate my non-addiction with a GB that I've been resisting for the last few weeks

I love the feel of the current G10 version, but sometimes I wish for more exotic steel than VG10.

CF with ZDP or Superblue? I would be all over it like a bad rash!

What I learn from this is to ignore paranoid people, and to enjoy my Spydies before the whole world turns paranoid.

SA is currently busy implementing a new "Dangerous Weapons Act", which could influence our carry options here. :(

I cannot see how it will be enforced though. *Sigh*

I have both the H1 SE and the G10 Dragonflies.

I prefer the solid build and heft of the G10 version over the FRN versions. I normally carry the G10, but I like and carry the Salt too on occasions which require better corrosion resistance.

Get both!

Occasionally I show symptoms of this same sickness too...

At least I don't live near the source of the contagion like you do. ;)

On weekdays I usually carry a Dragonfly clipped or loose in my jeans coin pocket, and on weekends a Para 2 clipped to my right front pocket.

I always carry a lanyard with a Preon Revo, alox SAK Rambler and small pry bar clipped to left front pocket.

A great knife to me is both a tool and a work of art. Price is not that important when I consider buying an exotic, rare, functional piece of pocket jewellery (like a sprint run). As long as I can afford it, that is... I'm willing to pay good money for quality, and more for quality and exclusivity. ...

Based on many of these responses by the 701 Profiles Evangelist JD Spydo ;) , I have also now pulled the trigger on a set of Profiles.

My SE Aqua Salts are already thanking me :cool: :D

For anyone still interested in grabbing an Aqua Salt SE...

I just ordered a few from New Graham Knives, at $60 a pop.

That's half the MSRP! :D

I believe they still have a few

Welcome to the forum. And congratulations on a fine Spydie as I imagine it's very hard to score a sought-after Sprint out side of the US. As for less threatening, the Chaparral is a nice one too. :p Just adding to your wish list. LOL. Thanks for the welcome... Bentobox came to the rescue, plus some...

I got my G10 Dragonfly this morning... Its still early days, but so far I'm impressed... :D I have to agree with everyone else, this looks like a great little office EDC knife. Solid build, perfect quality, and no blade play. It feels just right in hand, and fits perfectly in that small coin-pocket ...

This is my first post.... about my first spydie. Quite appropriate I think... After lots of research I found out that I missed out on the Paramilitary 2 S90V. :eek: Then I learnt about the Para 2 20CP, and was lucky enough to get one for a decent price a few months ago. It's in my pocket right now. ...
