Re: Which spyderco is in the mail?
After years of hesitating, I finally decided which Spydie will fill the LC200N spot in my weird collection. Caribbean leaf SE blade inbound.
I wanted the Autonomy 2 to fill this spot, but had to learn that they are not legal in Germany. Lately I favored the upcoming Swick. Thing is that I'm not entirely sure I'd actually carry it. It's a very cool knife, from what we know. I might get one later eventually.
So it's gonna be a Caribbean. I like the look, I love the lock. I wouldn't have hesitated this long if the Caribbean had a finger choil - they are a preferred feature in my book. One can't have everything.

Not in the mail anymore but a SS PE Police just arrived Friday. I got it used but in excellent condition and have some minor mods to make on it but it is the first spyderco I have bought in about a decade.
Re: Which spyderco is in the mail?
Yes ... but CC numbered ... and had to pay a premium to get it. Not a bargain buy!

GITD Delica, to go with my Jester. In fact one reason I got the Jester was to find out how well the GITD worked and how the handle looked in daylight and was happy with both. Am thinking of swapping a wharnie into the Delica.
There're some GITD Delicas on eBay for $90 with free shipping now.

Just received my K390 SS Stretch and an LC200N PE UKPK is on the way. Waiting for the K390 DF2 Wharnie to drop now.

An old H1 Salt 1 off the 'Bay. Funny, I was going to post that I felt good having nothing on order then this one pops up.

K390 SS Stretch just ordered with DLT. Should be here by Wednesday at the latest. Now to find myself some aftermarket scales...
I'm happiest with Micarta and Tool Steel.

I got one new off the 'Bay a few months back. Had been looking for one for quite awhile. That and the original black Pac Salt are sort of iconic for me, some of the first Spydies that caught my eye.

You and me both, I'd like to try a serrated slipjoint and the UKPK looks real good in yellow.przemekspce wrote: ↑Wed Aug 04, 2021 11:30 amCongratulations on UKPK salt! I am curious when they will be available in Europe

Re: Which spyderco is in the mail?
Technically no longer in the mail as it was delivered an hour ago. A Para3 in S45. My 3rd Spyderco and my first Para-anything. And even though I really wanted a PM2, you bloody Americans keep buying them all before any make their way down under!
Knife is great. Had quite a bit of side-to-side wiggle but a tiny (~1/16th turn) pinch-up on the pivot cured the majority of it, and got the blade more or less bang on centre (not my biggest concern, but it's nice). The handle suits my hand size really well. I wear a medium sized (motorcycle) glove, if that helps anyone. Compression lock is cool but most already know that. As to the pocket clip v lanyard hole position. I couldn't care less :)
Apologies for rambling.

Stretch 2 ZDP-189. I wanted one before they are all gone. The thread on Manix 2 killer pushed me over the edge.
