BACK UP UNITs: A Necessity!!! Not a luxury
Gee I don't know if I got time or even if there is enough room to write them all down :rolleyes: But I can tell you that there have been well over 30 of them over the past 10 years.
There is one coming up later this summer that I plan to try to get 3 of and that being the Sprint C-44 Dyad. I've had several of what I commonly refer to as "BACK UP UNITS" ( BUU). I have at least 9 Spyderco Hawkbills that are in my user EDC rotation. I even just recently aquired another C-111 Captain model because I do carry one often so I definitely had to have a BACK UP UNIT to that bad boy :cool:
I'm currently looking hard for a BACK UP UNIT for my older but much loved Stainless RESCUE model ( C-45).
Most all of my hard working job specific Spyders I make it a point to get BACK UP UNITs for>> i.e. for instance my Catcherman models, original Temperance 1 ( FB-05) model (SE & PE). I don't think I'll ever get enough of the C-36 Military models in all the great blade steels you can get them in and I'm currently on the look out for a couple of the older full Spyderedged Military models.
There are 2 of the older Golden Era Spyders I'm on a search for BACK UP UNITS for and those models being the C-50 Centofante and the JD Smith models both in SE & PE. Actually I currently have more "USER Spyders" than I do collector grade SAFE QUEENS which I just recently realized.
I regard my USER SPYDERS as necessities, not at all in the luxury category even though I do consider most of my Spyders a luxury to own and use. If you find a model that you like and if you do use it then by all means you should get a BACK UP UNIT as soon as possible.

Well I can't afford backups but I have replaced two knives. First tenacious I gifted to a friend. Then bought a black/black tenacious, I broke the tip off that one and gifted it to a coworker.
I've also lost a Tasman that I finally replaced.

Stretch2, Native5, PM2 in different variations. These are my favorite carry Spydercos in order.
Caly 3.5 SuperBlue. I can buy ten more of these to be honest lol.
I'm plotting on a second Southard because I want one stock and another perked up a little.

The Superleaf has been my primary EDC ever since I first obtained one. When I heard the Superleaves were falling from production, I raked in as many as I could. Now the backups of my backups have backups.
I also found a few Paramilitary 2s while looking for Superleaves, and I picked them up to see what all the commotion was about. They're nice, but they're not supernice, so I decided on keeping one for a changeup.
I used to buy 2 of each i was planning to use but it was an expensive habit...
on the top of my head i know i got a spare for the blue Lum, ZDP D4 (blue or green), pink D4, D2 Milie, BG42 Milie, CFS30V Milie...
it all started with the Caly3 PBRG. i was so eager to try ZDP that i placed orders at a few places to secure at least one and ended up with 5 :D

I typically try to not own more than one of any knife unless there's a good enough difference between them to warrant it. I have had 3 Para 2s that were all different, and I currently own two Manix 2s, one is the DLC version and the other is the M4 sprint. I have two Ladybugs but one is a SE H1 hawkbill and the other is a the other is the ZDP version.
All SE all the time since 2017
