Hey everyone!

Post by Johnnie1801 »

Hi everyone, I'm Jon and I finally got round to joining the forum :D I got into Spyderco knives a couple of years ago after a bad experience with a chinese made knife that literally fell apart in my pocket after 2 weeks of EDC, lol. After that I decided to go for a reputable and well made pocketknife and so I bought a Paramilitary 2, shortly followed by a Delica 4 ffg.

I currently live in Belgium so there are not many local dealers around but we have some good online companies here in Europe to supply our habit. I hope by the end of the year to have at least some of the following :p :-

1. Manix 2 lw s110v
2. Stretch Super Blue
3. Phil Wilson Southfork
4. Military
5. Sage 1

Welcome to the forum.

You may want to move the Stretch Super Blue up on you list as it is a sprint run and probably won't be around long. If you can swing it, I'd get it now or you'll have to pay a premium on the secondary market.
Focus is just distraction from distraction, so I take my moderation in moderation.

Thanks everyone for the replies and warm welcomes. I can't believe I forgot to add the Yojimbo 2 to my list, I must be getting old, lol. The SB Stretch is certainly a priority for me, I missed out on an SB Delica a short while ago because I wasn't willing to pay $160 for it but I hope to have better luck with the SB Stretch.
