I have been lurking around for a while, so time to introduce myself!
I am originally from Europe but have lived in Southeast Asia for the last 25 years. I love the sea and what comes with that- such as fishing and Scuba diving! Jungle trekking and living on what the jungle can provide me with is something I prefer over spending time in the big cities! Knives are just a part of my tool box and I have been using pocket knives since I was 5 years old (and that was a long, long time ago! :-) ).
The "Spyderco Madness" started in May this year when I bought a Spyderco Karahawk. Been searching for a Karambit which do not close on my fingers and Karahawk seemed to fit the bill. Great utility knife, so I got interested in checking out other Spyderco knives and 7 months later it looks like this:
As you can see:
- I love Yojimbo 2 (in both S90V and S30V steels. Yojimbo 2 is my overall, all time, favorite utility knife) and PM2!
- I use lanyards- but only because when I put my pinky finger in it, it secures the knife so I don't accidentally drop it in the sea!
- Yes, I am "Steel Junkie"- I love CPM S90V & S110V, ZDP-189. And I am very impressed of what Spyderco have done with both VG-10 and S30V- obviously one of the best heat treatments in the market!
I wouldn't say I 'collect' knives, since I actually use all of them. It's just that I am curious in testing different knives for real usage! :-)
"My Spyderco Dreams":
- To one day get my hands on a PM2 in M4 steel!
- To find and secure a couple of Superhawks!
I guess that's it for today. Then I wish the whole Team here a Happy New Year!
Thank you for reading this and Regards,
Boar-gen
