I'm 17, been using knives since I was 5.
Got my first knife from my grandfather, as he believed a man's gotta have/know how to use a knife.
I had about 3-4 since then till I found spyderco. I went on a 3week camp with cadets, recieving $180($60/week). I had $100 by the time I got home, and was determined to buy a good knife. I got the Delica, still EDC, back in August '99.
Since then I've bought 4 more, with 1 on order. I've dropped an order for a Calypso Jr lightweight with Cutting Edge(gives me 1-2 months to get cash built up).
-Plain Edge Delica, aug 99
-Ladybug, feb 01
-Serrated Cricket, tufram, mar 01
-40/60 Wegner jr, june 01
-Plain edge Dragonfly, SS, aug 01
(plain edge calypso jr lt, oct/nov 01)
We all start with 10 fingers. Those with Spydies have 9 to spare, Still need a thumb. Good thing I still have 8 to spare...

VampyreWolf.....You're grandpa was right. Every boy should own a pocket knife and learn
how to use it. It breaks my heart that the zero tolorance policy of most schools make it impossable
for boys growing up to have the fun I did by carrying / using a pocket knife everyday. I'm 55 and
each one of my 4 sons got a pocketknife for their 10th birthday. As a result they now know how &
why to use it. Two now carry spydrco as do I. We know what a good quality knife they are. The
other two still carry the knife I gave them at 10.

Well 2 out of 3 ain't bad. <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>
(one of life's tragedies; this 18 yr old kid locked up in this 58 yr old body)
Got my first Worker at the county fair in 1984 butt really started pursuing these Spydies since I retired in 98. Over 20 of them now.
My nym is for the fish I chased up here before moving to where we vacationed for so many years. Now I hardly ever get to the river, butt just about to beat back Mother Nature from this acre and a quarter. Then I'll be free to chase the Steelhead and Salmon in the Rogue (only 4 miles aweay) and the ocean (2 miles)

48.Couldn't say how long I've carried a pocketknife,but it's been so long I don't think about it:I just do it.Started my sons collection when they were 7 or so(Q's)& somehow Santa usually leaves a knife in their sock*G*.Couldn't count the knives I've given as gifts;had to buy one friend 2 Delicas as the first one"grew legs"-?y'all ever have that happen?Respects.
I'm 27. I've had knives ever since I was about 6 or 7. Got my first lockback at around 11 yrs old. I still have it...it was Buck knock-off hunting knife (brand was Sharp). First serrated blade was a Schrade (POS), and I just recently got my first Spydie. Before that my EDC was a Victornix Swiss Army Knife.

Darn it Chinook, I thought I was about the oldest here but I won't be 57 until October.
I've carried a pocket knife since I was a kid in the Scouts. However they've been SAK's until I discovered the internet and Spyderco. My eldest daughter got her first knife for her eighth birthday, a Wegner SAK with a locking blade. My second daughter will get one next birthday and my baby boy already has a Dragonfly <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>. I hope they will grow up appreciating knives as tools and knowing how to use them safely. Actually they already love knives, whenever I get a new one there's an argument about which one of them is going to inherit it <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>.

Don't worry that the world might end tomorrow, in Australia it's tomorrow already.

I will be 40 next month.
First knife was either a Boy Scout Knife (don't know the manufacturer) or a Camillus Trapper with yellow delrin scales.
Got my first Spyderco in 1999. It was a Michael Walker Lightweight. Then I lost it and replaced it with a Walker Almite.
My current holding is 14 Spyderco knives, but another 6 or 7 have passed through my hands.

Dav- So, by my reckoning, you would be 21 then? <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle> I've been carrying knives for a long time, ever since Cub Scouts, and can't imagine walking out of the house without one.
Scolby-unless that Scout knife is considerably older than you are, it's definitely a Camillus product. The only exception is the odd SAK/Scout knife, which have only been made since about '93. Post a description of it, especially the emblems and stamping, and I can tell you exactly how old it is.
Keepin' it real...real sharp, that is.

I am 20. I got my first Spydie about 2 years back, an Endura. I have been carrying a pocket knife since 11, and learned how to care for them in Boy Scouts. I decided I loved Spyderco products so much that I am determined to get them all... I have 12 right now and 3 on the way. And won't stop till I get em all!

Thank goodness some of the old times have begun replying, I was fealing ancient at 34 <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>
Carried a pocket knife for as long as I can remember, usually just non-brands or SAK's. Got my first "proper" folder about 5 years ago (Benchmade Leopard). At the time it was a Benchamde or a Spyderco. Got my first Spydie about about 6 month ago (Ladybug), since then I have bought a "few".
