Spyderco Forums

My gal is much more thoughtful and creative than I am, and has been making me awesome cards, and well, this year may have been the best yet! 2012 was my first year as a knife addict, and I've certainly been enamored most with my Spydies ;) So, I guess I forgive her occasional exasperation towards my...

Holy crap. It is LITERALLY my birthday!

Dag! Really? Happy birthday, GTPowers. Guess I won't loathe you too much

Aw shux!

Congrats, GTPowers. Thanks for the chance, gbelleh!

Mmm all that British Racing Green. How you loving that dragonfly? Thinking about picking one up this year in ZDP as well, de-clipping and throwing a lanyard on it for my pocket utility blade.

Aaaahhhhhh the anticipation is killer!

All right, the contest is over! Now, who won?! :eek:

Fingers crossed!

Wow, very generous of you gbelleh! 2012 was pretty good for me too -- although I've just as of this month decided to start being a part of forums ;) As for your questions: My first Spydie was also a Tenacious. A black coated, black handled Tenacious that cut miles of cardboard, plastic wrap, zip-tie...

Got mine for $130 as well. Loving it, although I had to loctite the pivot.

Nice, dude! The Manix 2 was what really got me hooked, too. I'm longing for that Techno... hoping to put it in my 2013 acquisitions

Thankfully my SO is not against knives or anything, just wishes I'd talk about something else

I did hear the magic words recently: "I think I might want a knife", so things are certainly looking up!

Yeah, it looks like a pretty wicked tactical folder. That index finger deployment with the wave sold me.

Thanks guys! Yeah I'm at just about full bore obsession; I think my girlfriend will claw her eyes out if she has to see anymore knife videos...

My first year in knife obsession, and it was a pretty good one I think!

Safe to say I've caught the bug.

Ha! I missed that. Sal sure is a gentleman.

Got a Chokwe coming via UPS tomorrow.

Thinking about cooling off for a bit and saving up a bit for a Southard

Ahhh, someone who hasn't quite gotten the bug yet. Once you do, you'll see how silly this question is! (once you've got multiple iterations of both the PM2 and the M2) But yes -- go for it! They aren't very similar to me, and the Manix 2 is a wonderful knife. Maybe consider the lightweight transluce...
