Given they sold for about $30, it's not worth 10x over.

A PE Executive. This one had some use and not good enough to be a safe queen so I carry it every now and then. A nice little cutter.

I was hoping for a orange FRN or even better an orange G10 FFG D4, oh well That's what I'm building. I found two white FRN Enduras and one Delica. They will be dyed orange. I have FFG blades that I will swap on them. Another possibility is to get an all black Endura and Delica and use the black bla...

I had all three Chinooks at one point. I wasn't too thrilled with the Chinook 3 and sold it. I really like the original Chinook. The Chinook 2 is alright but I keep pulling out the original. I may sell the Chinook 2 and try and find another original Chinook as a spare.

I was selling off a portion of my knife collection and checking values recently. I had seen a burgundy Calypso Jr. sell for $200 on eBay recently. I had posted my numbered burgundy for the same price on BladeForums and it sold the very next day for the same price. If you have the original box, it wi...

The clips of the Military and older Manix appear to have a thin amount of paint on them that will wear away in time. The current black clips appear to have a thicker paint on them and instead of wearing down it will chip. I have a Delica Wave in my EDC rotation and I already see a few chips with my ...

The dye job is holding up very well after two months of EDC carry. No hint of green anywhere. I have another Khukuri to dye as well as a pair of G-10 Enduras, Delicas, Dragonflies, and Rookies. I also got a hold of two white FRN Enduras and will dye them orange. Will post pictures when the dye fest ...

Same here. I see the purple as plum and that's what I actually call it.

Nice! My first attempt in dyeing was turning the FG Khukuri scales to black with excellent results. I got a hold of two white PE Enduras and they'll be turning orange pretty soon. :)

Went to a gun/knife shop I haven't visited in over three years and my eyes popped when I saw these. :eek: :eek: :eek: There's NO WAY I was going to leave them behind. Got a great package deal for them all, one that I couldn't turn down given what they fetch now. I'm not a fan of foliage green but th...

If you look at the original full size Manix and Mini Manix, the Manix 2 is the old Mini Manix in size but with the new ball lock. You could have saved yourself all that trouble drawing one up unless you were looking at a mini Mini Manix. :D

I'm both. At first I had them for collecting with very few out as users. Since I had a lot of duplicates, I pulled them out of their sleep and now they are in my EDC rotation. I enjoy taking a different knife each time I step out the door. Adds a little more variety. :)

My first Spyderco was a stainless SE CoPilot and Police back in the early '90s. I had them in a drawer but they were bought as my friend said I should have a small and large knife. Never thought much of them at the time as it was just a "knife" to me. Then in early 2005 I spotted a Spyderc...

Quick camera phone pic but just got them today before they disappear. Very happy with them both. Nice little cutters!

I picked up the last Chicago and Cat from a seller that I frequent often. Both were very nice and had no issues that I could see. Was planning on getting them later but given the situation now, I had to get them before they disappeared. Both are nice little cutters. With CF, low rider wire clips and...

I believe it's finding a quality maker that's more important than the country of origin.

I went to a surplus store I visit often and picked up their last Chicago and Cat. Having read about them being discontinued and the QC problems, the pair I got was problem free. I had planned on getting both at some point but happy I came across them before they all disappeared. Perhaps Spyderco may...

The plain edge CF Crickets are rare and hard to come by. I found mine in mint condition from an eBay seller in mid 2008 for $120. I believe they may fetch around that amount today. The SE versions are more plentiful and often see them sell in the $80 range. http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s46/spy...

Remove the screws, put the end of the clip in a vise (or clamp it down on something solid) and *slowly and carefully* bend it back a little at a time until it's straight. If you're not comfortable with that, you can buy replacement clips from Spyderco for around $5 each.

I have one of the older black plain edge and reverse S models. Recently picked up the new Meerkat and like the upgraded blade design. Been using it for a month and it's a great little cutter. I like it a lot that I got another pair as these are just a sprint run. The blue/green or teal color is a gr...
