What was your first Spyderco?

[charge]

What was your first :spyder: and why did you decide on that one?

Mine was the Delica Wave because of price, quality, and the Wave feature

Thanks for sharing,

My first :spyder: was Sharpmaker. My first Spyderco knife was C41 Native. I wanted to try S30V and it chipped badly.
But Kopa Cocobolo get me hooked on :spyder:

Stainless Spyderedge Harpy. Was working at Target at the time and the SAK classic I had carried on my keychain for years wasn't cutting it. I was looking for the knife. Something I could beat the **** out of and not sharpen for months. I remembered as a kid being attracted to Spyderco knives, in particular the Police and did some looking around. The SE Harpy seemed the best option for me at the time. I love that knife and used the **** out of it tearing down heavy cardboard, cutting plastic packing straps, that sort of thing.

About 2 years later I finally got a real job making decent money and bought my second Spyder, a Karmabit. A week later I bought a Centofante IV. Been buying pretty consistantly since then. Have like 30 knives or so now.

My first Spyderco was a plain edge Scorpius. That was sometime in February 2005. I first tried out a Tufram Worker SE over at my brother-in-laws house. He used it every day working for the water department of our city. It was beat up but was a good knife. After seeing his Worker and Executive, I wanted one. I looked online and wanted a stainless steel Spydie. I couldn't decide between the Scorpius and the Delica, so I went with the more "non-mainstream" and bought it.

It was a good knife. I eventually traded it off to a member of this forum for a different knife. I still like the Scorpius and want to get another one but there are far too many on my list before it.

We'll see. So yeah, the Scorpius was my first. :)

An endura when they first came out and hit the area. It was a FRN clip, G2 ( Gin-1) serrated model which I still have in EDC able condition. The clip is still intact even. Second was a Delica not long later, and then I bought one for my brother. That was the early 90's. Joe

My first was a PE Cricket purchased in January of this year. It got me hooked-- a poliwog, salt 1 , civilian, captain, cf caly 3, and a dodo followed. I am always amazed at the craftmanship and high quality of each knife purchased.

A lefty PE Co-Pilot with the brass liners was my first. I picked it up at a gunshow to use as a money clip/back-up knife. My second was a PE Harpy because I liked the blade shape. I carried the Harpy for years before eventually replacing it with a G10 SE Harpy, later a few Merlins, and a CF PE Harpy.

I bought my first Spyderco, a Native 2 SS CE about five years ago. Man I hated that knife :mad: . Second and third were an Endura 2 SS SE, and a Vesuvius CE and hated those as well :o . Then I bought a FRN Endura 3 SE and all was right in the world. :) I had been a big slip joint fan until I discovered Spydies and have never looked back.
Cheers,
Rob

Endura 4, a little over a month ago.



I'm now collector #114 and own 6 :spyder: s.

I'm hooked.

My wife makes this face :mad: when the mailman drops off another package.

My first Spyderco was the Gunting Combo edge. The thing that I remembered that stood out the most was the quality and solid construction of the folder. Oh well the rest is history! :D Take care all and God Bless!

[yablanowitz]

My first was a Delica in AUS 8 with the wider molded clip, which I still have and carry once in a while. Since it was a gift from my girlfriend, you better believe I hang on to it :D

[Lockback]

G2 SE FRN integral-clip Delica - I received it as a gift over 10 years ago. It's heading back to the Great Spyder Factory tomorrow for a resharpening.

The first Spyderco I bought for myself was an SE AUS-8 FRN integral-clip Rescue. I now have several Rescues, but still carry that one occasionally.

PE black SPOT, was looking at a very specific situation and it fit the bill nicely. Then a Matriarch which I sold following the end of a situation. Now I've got a CF cricket, and g10 and Tuffram Civilians en route, as well as a Waved Delica.

Hello All

This is my first time posting on this forum. My first Spyderco purchase was (two knives) made three weeks ago: Native plain edge CPM-S30V blade, and the Manix. I purchased both for several reasons. I found them esthetically pleasing. Both are time tested designs. My cutting/collecting wants were fulfilled with the pair. But what really solidified my decision was the knowledge gained from reviews. Now I am hooked on Spyderco products. Since then I have purchased the Endura SE ZDP-189 blade.

[haxxor]

aus 6 se spot was my first :spyder:

I bought it because it has lots unique features: fixed blade ,neck carry sheath, S- shaped blade, lagriffe-style hole, and it was cheap :)

[bigkahunasix]

1984 - Worker, actually 2 of them. Even back then I always wanted a spare,
just in case. (probably a little OCD in there somewhere.)

Since then I have lost count of the :spyder: 's i've owned, used, traded and
gifted to others. (Just spreadin' the love.)

This was my first about two years ago. Was thinking about parting with it but after some thought, I just couldn't. It was my very first Spydie!
