Welcome Squatch! First post I see, and from NE too. Anywhere near Papillion?

Re: Autonomy on its way

Got mine today. Seeing as I'm at my son's baseball batting practice, pics aren't going to happen until I get home. First impression...it made very short work out of tearing down boxes for recycling. It is the right size for me. And the wire pocket clip is discreet enough that I'll carry it. ( Auto c...

Re: Spyderco shirts

With permission from Spyderco, of course, I'd volunteer to run this. Booster.com could do this for us. Booster's ROEs are something like: they take payment from all parties only if there are enough orders to break even. Above the break even point a small profit is made. They send "profits"...

Re: PITS - bead blast, blue anodized, bead blast blue anodized!

Sometimes it's good for me not to have a choice. Had all three options been available I think I'd be without a PITS right now due to indecision paralysis. "I like the polished one the most, no the blue the most, no wait, I like the bead blasted. " Start over and repeat indefinitely... I li...

Re: So 2009.... My Kopa Collection is finally complete!!

I am definitely getting more display s . The good thing about the display though is it allows me to re-enjoy knives frequently enough that I don't feel the hunger to Buy-Buy-Buy anymore. It's been 2-3 months since my last purchase (USN ladybug), which I think is the longest drought in years. And I'...

Super collection! I have the carbon fiber and the Quince wood models. I also like that case, do you possibly have a link to the source or the name of the maker? Thank you for sharing. Thanks Pinetreebbs! I also really like the Carbon Fiber one! I found the case at Amazon: http://amzn.com/B00H2WMUIY...

Awesome collection, thanks for sharing! Is it odd that my only Kopa is a Squash Bone? I'm betting at some point I was mad at you :D for beating me to the knife on BladeForums, USN, or eBay... I'm over it now. :) Sweet collection! Thx for sharing! i see a nice selection of great Spyderco knives, gre...

Re: So 2009.... My Kopa Collection is finally complete!!

Hi Varisforlovers. Very nice. We began the Kopa series with collectors in mind. We didn't do that much back then. Probably a fourth of the folks opted to committ to all of the models made and ended up with complete collection. With only 600 pcs worldwide of each model, getting them individually was...

So 2009.... My Kopa Collection is finally complete!!

Good Day Fellow Spyderco Fans, I realize I'm quite late to the bandwagon, but after 4 years of slowing trying, I've finally completed my Kopa Collection. It's been an exciting search. Surprisingly to me, the last and most difficult for me to come across was the Squash Bone (C92SQP) from 2009. It was...

1. Also the WTC. More of a memorial knife than a knife to be used (for me).
2. The Southard folder

Re: Funny story from Christmas about my Techno

My Dad, a former Marine, saw my Techno on Christmas, and in all genuine seriousness said "oh, lethal". This comes from a man who carried a handgun most of his adult life. I had to dig further. Turns out only the thugs and violent kids, prone on using them, carried knives in his town growin...

Re: Spyderco PITS Folder (Pie In The Sky)

Nicely done Mr. Read and Spyderco!!! This really is a well made folder. It's right at the 3 inch mark which I love, it's got the deep pocket wire clip, and the blade shape is fantastic. Pics below for those like me who want comparison shots. More provided upon request. Lighting was horrible tonight,...
