At one time, I had a complete set of Salsas including the one that accidently turned out looking a little purple .. Only one I kept was the Ti. I think this model went the way of all things because the little sucker would work its way partially open in your pocket. If memory serves, I think the ...

Got mine out yesterday. It's one in the collection that really means something.

That's got to be what it is.

Having grown up in Louisiana, I'm reminded about how Louisiana law can be so backward ... sheesh ...

The general guidance regarding knives in Louisiana includes language that prohibits all but LEO's from owning and / or carrying "Rescue" knives. "Rescue" knives further defined as knives designed ...

I've lucked into some package deals in past years where I've needed to sell duplicates of Spydies I already owned, but have had a very hard time parting with the bulk of my collecttion. Some of the knives were VERY difficult to come by (older police knife variations, CF Walkers, etc). I have let a ...

The new program sounds very workable.

I was a numbered collector for about 5 1/2 years. Loved getting the knives, but struggled with the concept of not getting any new blades for several months and then getting several collector knives at once and a whopping bill to go with them. Ratability would ...

I started another thread about the possibility of a second run of the 2009 Forum Natives, but was perhaps too obtuse in my question.

Several forum members, for various reasons, did not have the opportunity to order the 2009 Forum Native, which was much more popular than anyone imagined. There ...

my question is obviously in the title,
Seeing that the delica and endura are some of the most popular spydercos and most sold. I wonder why this model is offered in g10 but not black g10 like most of the other g10 models that are around? Any explanations about this or if the d4 and e4 will be ever ...

Thanks for the pics Paul. I'll likely have to have one or two of the VG10's. :)

This is great news .. I'm in for this one. Been wanting a full size purple spydie for a long time. Still wish it was a Purple G10 Police Knife, but this will do nicely ... :D

At the office, I've been EDC's a SS Jester for a couple of years. It's alot more knife than you think in a tiny package. Like Paul, I've got a couple of the burgandy micarta variations hanging around, but I favor the stainless for office duty.

This is great! Count me in. It's been awhile since we've had a Spydie Forum knife. Which one was the last one? Was it the Lava in 06 ?

Thanks Mike and Ryan. I stand corrected.

Grey Matriarchs are the U.S. made for BladeForums knives. South Africans were always black. Issue for BF greys was 500.
Mike ... It's been commonly discussed for years on the Forum that the grey's were done for a South African distributor. Here's a link to SpyderWa's rare & collectible list that ...

Looks like one of the South African grey Matriarchs is on Ebay. Should be fun to watch.

I'm very impressed ... Where did you come by this one?

Well now ... two of my most favorite Spydie models .. :spyder:

Over the years, I've ended up collecting more Police Knives and carrying more Enduras for multiple reasons. The Police Knife is a classic. In SS form there is none thinner and longer. Great package that feels natural in your pocket ...

A Kiwi, Dragonfly, Cricket, Jester, Ladybug, Navigator, or anything else that fits comfortably inside my pocket unclipped. Something about a big knife on a suit pocket that doesn't work well .. :)

I've been holding up my hand for a dark royal purple G10 handled Spydie for two or three years. I'd rather it be a Police Knife, but ... I guess ... I'd settle for doing it with this model. :)

BTW, Welcome back JD ..! I'm not around as much as I used to be either, but I still enjoy catching up from ...

Time has a way of slipping up on you. I remembered what I thought was a recent PM from him over on BF, but I just checked it and that was in July of 07.
