First spyderco, future is looking good!

#1

Post by Z-spyder »

Well I used to carry a Smith and Wesson M&p and decided that knife was way to big to carry around all the time. I like carrying a knife not constantly feeling the knife in my pocket hahaha. So today I received my spyderco ambitious in the mail and I have already fallen in love with it hahaha. But I thought Id make a post to say Hi.

Welcome!! My first knife was a h1 ladybug. Unfortunately I lost that but since then I've picked a couple new models up with pocket clip.

Welcome to the forum. I've found that Spyderco knives are the best all around quality production knife I've used. Many models to choose from also for about any cutting need. I've never seen the Ambitious but have seen the Persistance and thought it is a great knife.

Quick, put any cash you have into long term investments otherwise it's going down the Spydie hole. I started with a Tenacious last Fall and now I'm up to 25 or so Spydies. It's a sick addiction!!!

Welcome Z-spyder and to all the newer members. As everyome is saying, something takes over your mind after you get your first one. Part of teh fun to me though is the research process to figure out the next one that you want. Life's too short, you might as well enjoy the ride.

Z, I wanted one good knife that would stay sharp for a longer time than all the $20 knives I'd bought all my life. I'm serious, I only wanted one. I got one. Then I wanted another for some reason, different size, blade steel, etc. I ended up buying around 30 knives, 25 or so were Spyderco. I'm sticking with Spyderco except for an occasional few in the future. I have sold a few that I never used even though they were great knives to get cash for others to try. After buying and selling, I'm down to 10 of the greatest knives I think are available. There are others of course but I like the ones I have.

Many people got started the same way I did. Since my start I've seen several people who post here saying they got their first Spyderco and at least 90% of them buy more. It looks like you are in the boat now. I can't explain it but I have tried. I come out sounding like an idiot to anyone who doesn't like a certain something a lot. My wife likes glass so she understands. She looks at me when I get another knife like I look at her when she buys a glass doo-dad. I would suggest this, before buying think about what you will use the knife for. Hard work? EDC for general use? Going to work? Things like that. People here will give advice from experience on what they like/dislike about different models. It's your choice of course but I've found the suggestions here are something to consider.

Advice from me to people who sit around playing with their knives. Buy band aids. :)

And carry a couple around in your pocket. I used to never worry about putting a band aid on a cut, however, other people don't take to kindly now a days to you bleeding all over the place. :eek:
