I'm down to 11 Spydies and 1 Byrd!
Have to say I don't have the itch anymore. I think the serial acquirer in me is dead or at least in hibernation.
I want a CQI Ikuchi. Nothing else on the radar.
It's weird to not even own a PM2 anymore.

Well it's also the only way I can afford this crazy hobby. There's definitely an inverse correlation btw my disposable income and my drive to sell stuff.JonLeBlanc wrote: ↑Thu Aug 22, 2019 3:21 pmSometimes I wish I could do that, but I think I'd get sellers remorse lolJuPaul wrote: ↑Thu Aug 22, 2019 8:44 amI think that's a big part of the fun for me: try new things, keep what I love, sell the ones I don't love or that I'm bored with.

Re: It's been 40 days...
Oh make no mistake about it Chris Reeve designs some fine knives I have owned the Nyala and the Kitchen knife als, both good quality. The thing is they are too expensive, nice and very well designed but honestly you are used to the way Spyderco's cut and I very seriously doubt you will like their offerings by comparison.DirtMcGirt wrote: ↑Thu Aug 22, 2019 2:34 pmI will get one eventually I’m sure. It’s just that Spyderco has provided me with such positive experiences in both product AND service, that I really don’t want to put my money anywhere else. I know there are other knife companies with great customer service and amazing products. I just haven’t experienced it first hand like I have with Spyderco.Doeswhateveraspidercan wrote: ↑Thu Aug 22, 2019 9:41 am
You lucked out, I owned 6 different Sabenzas and sold them all once I used my first PM2.
I know I appreciated the build and quality of his knives but once using Spyderco knives their was just no comparison and that is what turned my attention to Spyderco.
Spyderco knives offer Superior Cutting ability with far less effort and far less money as well. Another thing is this when you spend $400.00 and upwards with a folder it tends to be too valuable to use it as a real tool and you will find yourself not using it often.

Doeswhateveraspidercan wrote: ↑Thu Aug 22, 2019 4:59 pmI think you nailed it there. That's why most of ny fixed blades are Esee knives that cost less that $125. They're my hardest users, and who wants to try batoning through a knotty oak log for fun with a $300 knife? That no questions asked warranty sure lets me have fun with those, too.DirtMcGirt wrote: ↑Thu Aug 22, 2019 2:34 pm

ETA... everyone wants to know, right? With our new process, our intent is that everything in this Reveal will be available within the next 90-120 days.
This is not the only Reveal that you'll see this year. Our goal and expectation is that everything in this Reveal will ship before we launch the next Reveal.

Re: It's been 40 days...
Hah, is that what those are for? I have 2018 & 2019 coins, to go with the big pile of Spyderco knives that I bought in 2018 & 2019.. I think I'm using them wrong..

Re: It's been 40 days...
I'm looking over my latest credit card statement and see I've spent near $1,771 on knives for the past 30 days; many of them Spydercos. I was due doing something like this for myself as I had no summer vacation and was working sometimes 13 hrs a day for the last 3 months. Now, I'll likely be on the wagon and going 40 days without...

Re: It's been 40 days...
It's been one and a half years without a new knife purchase for me... I might sell some non spydies to fund a new Salt 2 and a waterway.
