What was the last knife you carried before buying your first Spyderco?
Re: What was the last knife you carried before buying your first Spyderco?
A SOG Spec Elite 2 Auto, it was actually a pretty nice auto, I still have it too but it’s been retired, carried it every day for almost six years until I found Spyderco.

I really like my 707! It makes into my pocket about every other week.xceptnl wrote:Though the McHenry & Williams 710 & 707 were my favorites

Before I joined this forum, a SAK Picknicker, for a whole lotta years, and before it, a SAK Champion.

Re: What was the last knife you carried before buying your first Spyderco?
Only a very few knives fall into the category of the 707 with me. What it means is that i liked a knife so much, that it made such an impression on me, that i purchased a second one, and left it new in box, stacked in my safe with the year marked on it. One day i will give that stack of boxes to my son and tell him about the evolution of knife collecting i experienced.Sharp Guy wrote:I really like my 707!

Kershaw Leek, when they first came out the ZDP was considered hot stuff. :p Also Benchmade Grip and Mini Grip. Still have them but they never get carried.

Re: What was the last knife you carried before buying your first Spyderco?
An Opinel No. 7 Carbone for me. Carried it for three years until I decided to try a Delica, because it was a pocket knife that featured the same VG10 steel, I'd been digging in my Japanese kitchen knives.
One of my tongue-in-cheek quick tests for a folding knife is still: 'is it better than an Opinel?'! Thick bladed knives fail the test, for me.
(The Delica passed with flying colours, of course!)

Re: What was the last knife you carried before buying your first Spyderco?
Beside a few SAK's and Opinel's, the last knife I carried and used for years was a Böker Plus AK74 (manual without a pocketclip). At one point I decided to get myself a little present for using at work. So the Tenacious came and since then mine Spydie collection has grown extensively. I've got the bug :spyder:
Top 5 Spydies: Para 3, Paramilitary 2, Native 5 Shaman and the Dragonfly 2.
Top 5 knife steels: Cruwear, S110V, S35VN, M4 and 20CV.
My favourite new acquisition of 2019 is the Shaman Micarta Cruwear, it's awesome :) :spyder:

Re: What was the last knife you carried before buying your first Spyderco?
Pretty sure I was carrying a Kershaw Cryo when I bought a Tenacious.
Re: What was the last knife you carried before buying your first Spyderco?
A Schrade Uncle Henry LB8 lockback was my work knife in the early 90's. My first Spyderco was a 1st Gen Endura in the '94-95 time frame. My time with the Spyderco didn't last long because I lost the knife over the side of a ship on my first work tour using it. I didn't buy another one (a Delica) until six or seven years ago.

A U.S. made S.O.G. Trident. It was a good knife.

Mine was a Bucklite,the version with a pocket clip. It wasn't much longer after that that I got a fully serrated Spyderco Police model.

Re: What was the last knife you carried before buying your first Spyderco?
Bench made 940, 720, Cold Steel Voyager, Gerber EZ Out, and before that, traditionals and various back locks, including genuine Bucks and a nice copy. I discovered the Great Spyderco hole (I wish I had way sooner, like the 80's), and that was that, with a bunch of help from the enablers on this forum.
