My 2012 Prediction

#1

Post by 1623 »

Image

I thank my Paramilitary 2 for being the harbinger of this wonderful and interesting love of collecting Spyderco knives. In a short few months I have established a small group of objects that bring a quiet, simple joy to my everyday routines.

My friends, I fear though that 2012 may see my financial undoing, as the Tuff, new Gayle Bradley models and some undoubtedly killer Sprint runs, only scratch the surface of what's to come I'm sure. Coupled with a few current models that have not yet made it into my collection; I may have to sell a kidney to keep up.

I'm sure I'm not alone, so good luck to you my fellow enthusiasts; for the web grows stickier :D

You are alone. Only an idiot would spend that much money on knives. :eek:

You already know that was a joke but, does that sound familiar? :D :D

I see that you called your post a prediction but I don't think you need to be very psychic to come up with that one. :)

Aside from the possibility the Sage IV, bolstered Caly 3.5, and/or bolstered Stretch might materialize, and the slim chance another new midlock with 50/50 choil may be announced, it looks like 2012 might be another "easy on the wallet" year for me.

I got into Spyderco less than 2 years ago, so 2010 and 2011 were pretty expensive, because I had a lot of catching up to do.

Now, I only need to buy the new models and sprint runs I like. Still, it looks like my mailman will be plenty busy in 2012. :D

I think an end of the world knife would be awesome! Just all out ridiculous knife! Finest of everything. Set for release early December. Not that I think the world is gonna end, but it would be cool to have something to show the aliens when they get here on the 21st

man i'm still waiting for the tuff, lionspy, szabo, and a few others to come out. then i'm also trying to get the rest of the models that i'm drooling over and are already in the line up. I've seriously considered a second part time job, for the sole purpose of being able to buy more spydies...it's a sickness!

Do you think the IRS would have a problem if I claimed Sal as a dependent?
