Re: Random: General Spydie Chat

So I’m thinking about having a friend in France get a Janisong so I can get it from him next time I visit. I wish I could just have one shipped to the US! Anyone have experience with this model?

Another vote for a Lil Native Slippie. SPY27 sounds like the right choice for a :bug-red-white FK.
Second that
Thirds
I’m on board with this suggestion as well.

Re: Laminated Blade Steel

Funny no one has mentioned the clad super blue series. I have a Stretch 1 in clad super blue. The previous owner forced a patina on the super blue part and it is gorgeous! Plus that thing gets so sharp it’s scary!

Re: Which spyderco is in the mail?

I was able to grab an M4 DLC Smock this morning during the small restock at BHQ. I’m not 100% sure I’m going to like it as I’ve had mixed feelings about BHQ’s exclusives in the past. But I know I can pass it along to someone who’ll appreciate if it doesn’t hit the spot for me.

Re: Economic Trends in the Secondary Knife Market???

I look at prices on eBay a lot, and it seems to me as well that the market is cooling somewhat. Of course the ridiculous prices set for buy it now sprints and exclusives are still ridiculous. But it seems that auction prices, which tend to reflect real demand, are down a little but recently.

I have a Centofante 3 that I thought was bent but it turned out just to be the grind. Only time I've seen that in person

Went on a bit of an eBay bender: 2 Goddard LWs (different colors of course) and an old micarta Caly Jr SE incoming!

Said it already in a previous post I guess,but the Shaman versions Sal has hinted several times would be really interesting to see: 1.) Choil-less and 2.) Lightweight, FRN, high hollow grind... :smirk
I’m most excited to see the lightweight Shaman.

Just grabbed a Super Blue Stretch 1 for a great price. Super excited as I only have one SB (Caly Jr) and have never owned a Stretch 1.

Re: Dyad Or A New Double Bladed Design All Together?

I’ve been in the lookout for a Dyad. I thought I had landed a Sprint full size a couple weeks back but it didn’t pan out. Quite a disappointment. I would love to see Spyderco reissue the full size Dyad (hopefully as a Salt) or develop a new design. The Buck Ecco pointed out in another thread may be ...

Re: My budding SE Micarta collection, aka Please bring back Micarta!

I particularly love your JD Smith. It's one of my favorite designs but I only have the sprint version. I've been keeping my eye out for a micarta version on the secondary market. My only micarta Spydie is a Goddard. I'd love to get more. Nice collection!

I would definitely be in for a new iteration of the Worker. I've been keeping my eyes peeled on the secondary market but an anniversary edition would be amazing!

I only have one millie - an older SE S30V. I'd love to grab another one and this combo would be awesome

Re: Im on the fence....undecided

I’m not really in the market for a PM2 in general but I’m planning to grab a crucarta one as soon as I can. I’ve been waiting for that treatment on the PM2. That’s your best bet IMHO.

Yeah knife collecting sometimes sounds a like like drinking... I need a knife to celebrate, I need a knife because I’m depressed, I need a knife because I’m bored. :winking-tongue Guilty of all of these myself!

Re: Throwback Thursday Carry

I carry my Goddard LW or micarta most days. Such an amazing model! Don’t know why it doesn’t get more love. But good for me as it keeps secondary market prices reasonable. Love mine. Frequent Thursday carry https://i.imgur.com/E00bbqI.jpg Gorgeous! Glad to see someone else is a fan of the Goddard.
