Excited to see everyone land one or two. I still have to pass (baby, move, job, yadayadayada) so I hope someone who deserves one gets one!
Thanks for such a great offer Spyderco!

It has taken a long while and some trail and error but I've learned a great deal from this thread. I just spent almost two and a half hours with my CTS-XHP Mule on my Lansky diamond set. With the Sapphire and Ultra Fine stones, I've been able to put some really nice polishes on my Spydercos. With my...

I think, after reading that Quattro98, I'm leaning heavy on the Dragonfly. With my gift card I can pick it up for the price of a Ladybug in ZDP!

Well the FRN or w/e version of the Manix2 uses CTS-BD1, which as I understand is a solid steel. That would be fine for my uses but I've seen too many rave over ZDP-189 to ignore it.
So, that at least is the reason for my steel pickiness.

GT's next knife!(?)

I try to make decisions on my own This forum can get flooded with "next knife" poles, which I find tedious. So what I have tried to do is research my bum off AND THEN ask the community. We've recently moved and en masse process of packing/unpacking, I found an d wallet with an Amazon gift ...

My guess is that the Spyderco crowd folk here on this forum aren't used to seeing custom knife prices...
People pay this kind of price for similarly "engineered" works.

Just to put my experience in: A few weeks back I busted the tang(?) of the cage on my 154CM BBL cage. THIS is due only to a rather mindless slip of hand while reassembling. I was ****ed at first. Was going to junk the knife. HOWEVER, I put it back together. For the first 25 or so uses, it was rather...

I remember when I bought my Manix2. Right there, I could have been done, it was perfect.
That was a year ago this week.
Now I own 14 Spydercos.
Good luck stopping with the Delica4 :D

I've read several times that rust on a H1 is remnants of the logo etching. Should come off easily.
