Re: Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Happy Thanksgiving to my friends south of the border.

I am brand new here but am very appreciative of the knowledge the folks on this forum have. I thank you, but my wallet hates you!

Turkey, family, football and a few libations.... perfect!

Re: Why I love Spyderco! What's your reason?

As a total newbie... they look super cool, are ergonomic, durable, come from the factory stupid sharp, are easy to sharpen (the 5 I have anyways) and are reasonably priced vs. many other high end manufacturers. The company seems like they are run and employ great people too. Great warranty as well.....

Re: What were your first five Spydercos and why?

Cool, I can play as I only have 5.

New to good knives and my first Spyderco was a Manix 2 a few weeks ago. Since I have added a Ladybug, Tenacious and a couple of Byrds (Meadowlark and Cara Cara 2).

Many more to come though likely. I am a big fan of all things Spyderco!

Re: Byrd Crossbill, anyone got one?

Nice photos. Which knife is more comfortable for you, the Pacific Salt or Crossbill? I always found both designs very ergonomic....same with the Cara Cara. If I could get those handles on any blade shape / grind / blade steel I want, I'd be set :D well truth is I have medium sized hands and the Cro...

My Ladybug Arrived. My wife confiscated it!

I am new to this Forum and Spyderco knives in general but loving my Manix 2, Tenacious and Byrd Meadowlark 2. A Cara Cara is on the way and I am deciding between a Native, Urban or Delica. I really don’t have much interest in other brands except maybe a Bugout. Love my Spydies. In any case, I was ex...

Re: Tis The Season...

My wife is already about to kill me as I bought my first Spydercos starting 2 weeks ago and now have 4!

On my list will be a Delica 4 or Dragonfly and a Sharpmaker.

I think both/either of the above knives would nicely compliment my Manix 2, Tenacious, Ladybug and Byrd Meadowlark 2.

Re: What Spyderco is in your pocket today??

My first post here and carrying my first Spyderco today... Manix 2LW. I love this knife. I am too much of a newbie to be a steel snob, but so far I am loving the Manix 2 in BD1. Tomorrow it will be my also new Tenacious. By the end of the week, a Ladybug and Byrd Meadowlark 2 join the collection. Ex...
