The knife that made you a Spydernut

Post by gabo »

Was the Native for me. I had a Eudura many years ago but never took to the funny hump for the hole, so the Native changed all that. Straight, smooth and sleek.
This got me looking at other Spydies and visiting this forum. Owning Benchmades, Cold Steels and a few Sebenzas I feel that Spyderco is the most innovative, quality knife company out there. Many locks to choose from, and materials and construction that cannot be beat.
Always looking out for whats next from Golden, Co.

What I think was a combo edge Delica that I picked up at REI in the early 90's.

Would have to be a CPM440V Native - first Spyderco I bought.

Funny thing was, I picked it because I thought the Delicas and Enduras with their "hole hump" were ugly as sin - now the Delica's my favorite!

You know the rules... all members using bad language must buy all other forum members a new Spyderco :eek: And you know what you said in the above :eek:
Those in the know use Spyderco.

Native III. 50/50 choil and ergonomic. VG-10 drove me to it.
First they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not stand up, because I was not a Trade Unionist.

Spyderco Police way back in 1989. Unfortunately I sold it for a big sixty bucks a couple of years later. Sure wish I had it back.

The C41 Native. My first :spyder: was a Herbst, nice knife but not really the best choice for a southpaw. Then I tried the Native, what a difference! That's the one that "hooked" me.
