Spyderco Forums

Received my new Spyderco Puukko today. It had a big old chip in the blade about one inch from the tip of the blade! This is not the first Spyderco I have had this happen to me. I own over 100 Spydercos. What is going on with Quality Control?
I purchased it from the Spydercostore.com and I was ...

I saw this knife for sale on eBay. When I asked the seller to give me the serial number he (or she) told me they bought it out of box and it had no number or name. I asked where he purchased it because I never saw one like it before. He said he bought it at a Flea Market and purchased two of them. I ...

Please enjoy the pictures. One of these days I am going to try and do a little better on the pictures, but for now this is the best I can do. Please comment and enjoy!
Thank you and have a great week!

"R" Nishijin Sprint Run available thespydercostore.com $141.95. Also just received the Sage 4, have them all. This one is different. A little heavy but not your usual Spyderco looking knife. I love it. It's a beauty! Titanium bolsters, Arizona wood scales. Nice.....Looking forward to that R Nishijin ...

CORRECTION! Originally from a Marine stationed at Camp Pendelton, but he sold it. I saw anther one, an Air Force Sgt. selling it. Just wanted to make that clear if you have been reading the threads. Thanks.....

OH! Please! Aloow me to continue! It's Sunday, Miller time! I gave the knife to my son ...

I went ahead and bought it anyway. It was an Air Force guy that purchased a bunch of them at the PX. I saw a few of these at Camp Lejeune in the NEX last time I was there, they where going for a lot less, so if the Air Force, underpaid, non-com made a few bucks on me, so what? My Grandfather, WWI ...

I was in the military for 21 years and I should know better then to say what a person should buy or not to. Freedom of choice is something that not all people have. If a soldier is supplementing his or her income, is what I should have not put to the back of my mind. I found my natives around ...

Taken at the Shot Show 2012. Nice picture, wouldn't you all say?

Marine not soldier. Big difference! Nah, I wouldn't mind paying him more than what he paid for it. Was just wondering it's value. I've been there. Love these kids!

If its for a troop you can contact Kristi at Spyderco.

Thanks, it is from a Marine that just got back from Afghan. How he received two of them, not for me to ask. Thanks for the info.

Just received these knife stands. I still have the small ones, as these are not enough to fit my whole collection which is nearing about 80 knives right now.

I am in the process of selling off some of my other knives, Kershaw, SOG, Cold Steel, CRKT, ZT. I'll keep only the collectables, otherwise I ...

Anyone owning this knife, Native, Operation Iraqi Freedom? Just wondering what you paid for it, and if they are hard to find, collectable, etc.
I am looking at one for $125.00. Worth it?

As always, thanks for your time folks.

P.S. And yes, before anyone asks, it is worth it to me ...

Nice collection. Can you tell me where you picked up those knife stands?

Do a search on ebay for "acrylic knife display" the guy is out of them now (the 6 knife type) but the single knife holders you can still get. They come in small and large. Same thing, search on eBay.

I have a Blue Stretch ZDP ... it is awesome!
Wait til you hold a CF Stretc h in your hand .... whoa ... someone's gonna need to grab a towel to catch all the droooooool ... hehe

I found a CF stretch the other day on eBay. $250.00. I didn't blink! Received it yesterday. I still have not taken it ...

the hard cover book should be around a hundred bucks or less

I just received the book. Picked it up on eBay in an auction style sale for $86.00 with free shipping. The book is hard cover and in brand new condition. So far an excellent read. Now.....the only thing that would make it even better ...

I like most/all of those models, but I do miss some serrations in there :)

Cheers,

Not big on serrations. I have a few "other" brands with serrations I use when I need them, but most times the serrations just get in my way. Thanks for the reply!

Hello,

I was surprised when I received my Bill Moran: it has no Spyderco round hole!
I thought that all the Spyderco knives have the Spyderco Trademark round hole.

After this knife, I looked in the Spydie catalog to look if there other no holed spyderco existing.

I found:

Bill Moran old model ...

I added a few since the last picture. Some nice Kopa's, Sage 1,2,3. I have the Manix 2 Blue Translucent on the way.
I am going to try and make a better picture album some day, but time is just not on my side these days.

I certainly hope you all had a safe and wonderful New Year! Hope there are ...

The book is now up to $71.00.
I am going to own this book, I don't care. I think the book was made with the intension of being a collector. I'll take the chance. What do I got to loose, money? It's only paper. I give it away every week anyways.....

Most of that stuff is listed by 3rd party, can't blame Amazon.
