I’ll admit it, I have a burning desire to get a Matriarch. The Civilian is too pricy in comparison, so the Matriarch it is. I have absolutely no real use case for a knife like this, but I want one, dammit. :)
Why? They look so fiendishly cool IMO. Almost evil looking. Do I need one to cut cardboard, open the mail, cut limes for margaritas, cut tinder? That would be 4 big NOPES.
Don’t get me started about getting a SzaboHawk Tactical Tomahawk, either. Cuz we all NEED a $200 tomahawk. It is super cool though! :rolleyes:
What do you want that you have almost no real use for?
What Spyderco do you WANT, but absolutely don’t NEED (I.e. have a real use for)?

To be honest i have no real need for anymore knives, ive got more than enough to do just about anything for the rest of my life and my kids life also but theres a long list of knives i still want.
Re: What Spyderco do you WANT, but absolutely don’t NEED (I.e. have a real use for)?
I'm not sure I need any more knives at this point so most future purchases are gonna be for made up needs anyway lol.
I wanted the Caribbean for a no hassle rust proof work knife but the Autonomy is proving to be perfect for the job. I'm sure I'll eventually get one anyway.
I'm really intrigued by the 100 Pacer but have no idea what I'd use it for.

If I bought another larger fixed blade, my wife would gut me with my 24” Kershaw machete. :eek:

Any fixed blade and most folding knives. Like Gingerninja I have too many. I will buy more to try new steel and designs but to think of buying any $300 + dollar fixed blade made of stainless doesn't make sense. There is one I keep telling myself not to buy. I hope I take my advice.

Oh yeah... and the SpyderThrowers. I don't know how I forgot about those.
Re: What Spyderco do you WANT, but absolutely don’t NEED (I.e. have a real use for)?
Hundred pacer and opus. Too big for my normal carry, but I want them anyway.
Re: What Spyderco do you WANT, but absolutely don’t NEED (I.e. have a real use for)?
I would consider my knife 'needs' pretty well covered. Anything from here is essentially just because I want it, not because I need it! :D
Though with that said I really want a Darn Dao, Autonomy, and Janisong! Also, really want the Spyderthowers, Warrior Hawk, and Respect when they're released!

Last count I was at about 60 knives. So I was past the need thing about 59 knives ago. :)
Of all the things I've lost I miss my mind the most!

:spyder: That new Bento PM3 in M390 steel, but there's something else I'm waiting on.
As soon as I pull the trigger on a must have, something else seems to drop and then I gotta get that too :spyder:
