Spyderbitten and caught a nasty fever

#1

Post by Beanie-Bean »

Yup, I caught the fever after getting my first Spyderbite a few days ago. It all started with a Ladybug, and looks like I've got lots of catching up to do. Less than two weeks ago, I had zero Spyderco knives. Now, the fever has kicked in, and I'm starting to understand.

Spyderbitten in 2011 and haven't been the same since.

At first, I thought you got cut and had a fever from the resulting infection. :) Welcome to the addiction and the forum.

Wait until you discover some of the fixed blade Spydies. You'll find we're all enablers here......

I've trimmed the herd of about half of my folders and 2 of my fixed blades, still have 13 folders and 11 FB with 2 being duplicates.

Nice Dfly2! I want one so bad! I've totally got the bug right now as well, coming up on at least ten models I want to buy immediately.

Even though my fever is not running as rampant as others here , be advised that the fever has many different levels . While mine seems to be spreading much slower ,it is still spreading none the less . I've narrowed it down to a substance impregnated in the metal . Under normal observation , it is undetectable but it is there so be warned . :eek:

Appreciate the warm welcomes! Gotta give props to my brother who has got me going on the righteous path.

Been watching lots of YouTube vids, and am going to pick up some para cord to try out with some of the knives.

Thinking of some S30V (Orange Manix 2) and some ZDP-189 units (Stretch 2 or perhaps Endura 4) in the near future.
