You know it's bad when you don't even know how many Spydies you have? Uh how many? :o
Im lowballing myself so I can sleep at night.I have over 22 manix all the pm2s all the kopas ,calis,almost all kiwis,humingbirds,dflies,chaparels,dodos,chrickets so many older single models,all the delicas enduras,all the h1,all the autos,all the balisongs,I can go on and on here.man im sick.
So nice to know I'm not the only sick puppy out there, you should post a group picture, (if you haven't already) of course you'll probably need a satellite pic. :D
I year or two ago I posted some of my collection but it took forever to take them in and out of the boxes and find the right box again if I have a hour or two and a very wide screen camera no problem
That's exactly why I haven't done recently myself, it takes an hour just unbox and re box the ones that aren't in current rotation, such a horrible problem to have right :D

I hear ya, the only way your going to get all your spydies in one pic.
Couple that don't have boxes...never got or lost.

Empty spot in Right/Bottom box will be filled with Hap 40/Endura...had to open a spot in the Endura Section...a lot of shifting to add to #1 box.

Hello, my name is David and I am a Spyderholic.

It has been about 2 hours since my last relapse, I was sitting here at my desk and lost my will to resist fondling the Rock Lobster sitting to my right.

I've tried the 12 step program, but this is a visual representation of my will power:

I tried to seek help from my SA (Spyderholics Anonymous) buddy, but he was at the local knife shop having a relapse of his own.

Hello, my name is Paul, and I'm a Spyderholic … and a former GEC-aholic (although that sleeping tiger wakes up from time to time as well) …

I love functionality. I love art. Hence, I love functional art … that's my rationale, and I'm stickin' to it …

And hey, a guy (gal) should have choices, right? It's perfectly reasonable to have 30+ folders in your EDC rotation, right? …. Right … ?

… and ... sometimes I think I love the feeling of knowing a new acquisition is on the way to me almost as much as the acquisition itself. Think about it - you know it's true … we're a sick lot …

I'll be your sponsor, start by working steps 1 through 3 and stop hanging out places that cause you to relapse, you know what they say, hang out in a barber shop long enough and your going to get a haircut. ;) :D

Ha! My friend got a free issue of Recoil when she bought some purpose built pants for her job as an EMT and gave it to me. I read that same article and wanted a Yojimbo 2 immediately! Ha.

I almost freaked out in The Martian the other day when Matt Damon starts slicing up potatoes with what I thought at first glance to be the Assist. It wasn't, but I sure felt weird sitting in the theatre with the boner it gave me initially.

Ok.
I started this topic and now I see the company I will keep in here. I keep laughing over the other posts and then realize we are in the same world. Just like on the Golden Colorado made knives. EARTH!
My Yojimbo arrived today as I was monitoring tracking at same time. I love my mailman.
Anywho....the knife is sooooooooo well made. And so sharp. It opens and closes great and fits my hand perfect. Great job Spyderco!
I'll post a pic if I can figure out how to make it fit.
