Spyderco Forums

I just got an email from John Row's wife Heidi and she told me that John is critically ill and in ICU. He is on a ventilator and is having asthma/bronchitis problems. He is well known on the Spyderco Forum and I really hate this has happened to him. Please keep John and his family in your thoughts ...

I want to see some colorful Spydies also. They are appealing to the wife and if you can get your wife to like a few knives, you have got it made.

Sal says all the new ones are marked this way, so it isn't a flaw.

Mine would be my tritium Military. If I lose it in the dark, I can easily find it.
(by the way, I did the tritium upgrade myself)

I can't wait to get mine. Hope they ship soon.

I just picked up one with a sheepsfoot blade with a pocket knife and NY on it. I have 17 others all different in my collection. They are cool. I would like to have the one with the fish!

I ordered one at the 2000 Blade show and got it in the mail just a few weeks later. They should still have some in stock. Good luck. Hope you find one.

I have the smaller aluminum handle Terzoula. Can't remember but I think it is the C15. I had the large model but already sold it. The small one is part serrated and the blade is hand engraved by Robert Terzoula. I got it at the 2000 Blade Show in Atlanta. Email me if interested. By the way, it comes ...

A friend of mine swears by the Military with serrations. He keeps it in his bunker gear. Me, I don't fight fire, but if I did, I would probably carry the Military.

Kindly check your mail.

When I still had most of my Spydie Collection (over 130 different ones) I had the Blackhawk in plain edge and serrated. I also had its big brother the Renegade. They are some neat knives. every once in a while one will turn up on Ebay. They usually go for around $75. Good luck!

Most airlines do allow you to carry a knife as long as it is not too big. Sal and Spyderco specifically designed the Copilot model for airline travel. I have gotten by with a Spydie such as a delica w/plain edge or a Rookie. I don't know why, but they don't like knives that can be opened with one ...

Well, it will be the Gunting (if I ever get it). Until then I guess I would carry my Chinook. I also will have to cheat and carry my Mouse in its trap though.

Hello Ron and fellow forumites. I can't wait to get my hands on the Chinese Folder. They are so cool. Don't forget the Meercat. That one will be awsome. I also can't stand the wait for my Gunting. Hope it comes in soon. I thought they would be out in September. Oh well.

I actually got to hold the proto at the 2000 Blade Show. That Sal is a very nice man to talk to. That ULU will be an awesome piece.

I have one. They are really hard to find. I am thinking about selling mine.

I already got part of my Christmas. Yesterday the little brown truck (santa claus) brought me 2 nice big Chinooks (one plain and one part serrated). Can't wait for him to bring my other part (Gunting and trainer).

The little brown truck came today and brought me my serial numbered Chinooks. What a knife. I didn't realise they were going to be so hefty. Man you could do some damage with this baby. Everybody needs one of these babies.

My most valuable Spydie is my Left Hand Police with P.I.G. on the blade (Pride, Integrity, Guts). Or maybe my Titanium Police with the partially serrated blade. Not too sure which is worth more. I love them both.
