Favorite spyderco you don't have and why

[druid]

For me it would be the civilian, this knife the aluminum with inlay version introduced me to spyderco knives, I have halfheartedly tried to trade this knife once before, but have not gotten one for a couple of reasons one I cannot use them for manual tasks around the house I find a good way to heat used to knives and get enjoyment out of them. Two despite what anybody says I really don't think illegal in California for General Carry. And possibly three come running out of room in my collection case and this knife would take up a lot of room :eek:

Spydero Bob Terzuola.

Eventually I'll get one. I just really like this old knife. :)

Edit: I realized I forgot to add the "why". Only because they are semi-hard to come by and if you do find them they are pretty expensive. I just need to jump on one I guess when I see it.

Some time back it was the PE C54 Calypso, but Santa was great and I found it under the Xmass tree last winter (Thanks Santa :) )

Now I would say its whether the full flat ground Chinook II, or nowadays called Chinook III , PE, or a PE Manix 83 with whom I fell in love lately.


Yeah, and I would almost forget, the LAVA, because aside from Chad, and a couple of folks at :spyder: factory, everybody is missing that one, desperately in some cases :D

For a long time for me it was the forum Military. When it came out I was a student whose limited funds had to go towards books :mad: . However, those books now have given me the position to get most any spydie I desire. :D However, the forum Military had gone. Thankfully, Santa paid me a visit last year as well and the knife is now mine! :D

[Blades]

The Starmate. I have had 3 of them over the years, but I always sell/trade them, because I can never bring myself to carry it. :)



Blades

[Civilian]

D'Allara Drop point, because they are not going anywhere and I am always picking up other more rare models.

[Axlis]

The Lil Temp is what I want!

I have always been attracted to this knife, you can't hardly beat g-10 and a compression lock. I kick myself EVERY day for not buying one at the blade show (I thought I could find an S30v PE Leaf for cheaper than his $150, but I find that is about the going rate.)

Why I don't have one yet? No money, but soon. This friday, I will have worked 26 hours of overtime, and I will have a Lil Temp.

I am man on a mission :D

[spydutch]

I really would like to have a fully serrated Worker(and a back up so I can use one )

Because of all the horror stories, I don't buy knives from E-Bay, so I guess that's the reason I don't have one yet.

Well, maybe one day.... :confused:

[TheKnifeCollector]

The favorite Spyderco that I don't is the BG42 & CF Military. Why, I can not afford it. I LOVR BG42, CF, and the Military!! I think it is an amazing knife!!

[Hannibal Lecter]

Because they are not yet available...

I've been looking for an Ironstone Hunter and it comes down to finding one when I have the cash. I did find one, but the seller wouldn't send it to Canada. Thankfully, I found a forumite whom I can send it to when I save up for it. Hopefully it will still be there.

[Jim Malone]

For me it's the Massad Ayoob (lack of funds) and the G police model (lack of funds)

[gordonk]

Military for me. More indecision than anything. It just one of those things where I simply don't use a larger blade that often and the cost is just high enough (around $200 CDN) AND I have already have some larger blades and don't use them enough as it is. I have a Paramilitary and an Al Mar SERE 2K (SERE was a lot more), that don't see enough use. I do, however, have an Endura 3 (actually 2), that does see use, but again.....it's (they) have more than held up to what I've used them for. I don't doubt I'lll eventually get one, just a matter of when I want one bad enough. It's not really a money thing for me, just deciding. There are others to buy in the meantime that I know I will use :)

Some of the early release models that I do not have:
C02 MARINER, 1982
C03 HUNTER, 1983
C04 EXECUTIVE, 1984
C16 Wayne Goddard, GIN 1, Micarta, 1991
C18 Wayne Goddard Jr, GIN 1, Micarta, 1992
C19 Bob Terzuola Jr, Alunimum, 1993
C27 Jess Horn, ATS-34, BONE, 1994
Reason I would like to own 1 each of those above. I did not discover Spydero Knives until the late 90.s.

PE Civilian. There is a very simple reason too: it starts with $ and ends with $ (with quite a few more thrown in the middle too).

[markg]

The Chinook... I promise I will get one soon!

Why don't I have one? Just lazyness...

G-10 Rookie

Why don't I have one? Snooze you lose, I guess...

[scout]

Original Bob T. in g10...........handle flex induced lock slippage

[uhiforgot]

The Lava because it's not shipped yet

[spydermdz]

Civilian and Yojimbo. oh yea, i want another Manix and Chinook!!!! cant beat the manix or chinook

[The Deacon]

Aside from the Lava, which I'm eagerly anticipating but does not exist yet, and the full flat ground damasteel Kiwi I keep bugging Sal for, but will probably never exist, I'm down to a few "hard cases". Still looking for a PE LH Harpy, a PE LH Mariner, a PE Spyderkey, and an H.L. Dalis "Statue of Liberty" Q. Not holding my breath on any of them. Out of the four, have never as much as seen three of them on the block, and the one time I did see a PE Spyderkey for sale, a couple other people had MUCH deeper pockets.
