NO!! :mad: In the given scenario you were convicted for carrying a counterfeit, one of the meanest crimes possible !! :mad:

That´s actually a quite sensible and good "progression";wrdwrght wrote: ↑Sat Sep 28, 2019 8:39 amStripped of sentimental and otherwise irrational attachments, here are the Spydies I would reclaim:
At 2 months, my SE Pacific Salt (an environmentally-carefree do-all carry).
At 4 months, my Lil’ Native (a Boston-friendly carry).
At 6 months, my Shaman (a Manix2-PM2 stand-in); I’d take my S90V.
At 8 months, my Chaparral (a serious slicer).
At 10 months, my Stretch2 (the reigning champion of CQI); I’d take my VG10.
And at 12 months, my Military (the reigning champion of getting it right the first time); I’d take my Rex45. Oops!
A larger, do-it-all, light, serrated, very carryable folder as first after two month, something small and legal almost anywhere after four, a larger, heavy duty plain edge after six, an amazing slicer after eight (though I would have chosen the Chap instead of the Lil Native earlier) an ergonomic masterpiece after ten.
Well done!

First would be the Delica Cruwear.
Second would be the Rhino.
Third, doesn’t matter as I would have returned to a state of having only what I need. :o

You must really love the DFly! :)
After two month without any knife at all you´d take such a short blade as your only one for the next two month? Amazing! Makes me think the DFly must be more capable than I figured!

2. ukpk in s110v and micarta - my work knife and do everything else knife
3. smock - just for fun
4. para3 lw/maxamet. Do I need this one now? No... but I like it too much to wait. I almost put it #3, but it would be silly to have two Para3s so soon, right...
5. ikuchi
Odd - I never thought of myself as a compression-lock kinda guy. But 4/5 of them?!

Re: Another way to find out which of your Spyders you really need ;) (Phantasy-knife-world: Court took all your knives..
This thread if anything makes me think how I might potentially pair down my spydies.
First would be the Shaman 4v if it's not summer, my new yet totally infatuated offspring.
Second would be the SE Dragonfly Salt, but if it's summer, this would be first. I love this knife and have backups NIB just in case.
Third would be the Siren, which is cheating according to the rules but this looks like a fantastic knife for us beach dwellers and might just become my EDC of choice for the humid conditions here.
3.5 would be the Native Salt SE that I suspect is going to be replaced in rotation by the SIren. Caveat being I hope the Siren gets a combo edge variation but a Ladybug Salt secondary is easy to carry.

Listed in order, assuming kitchen/table knives were not taken.
Dragonfly zdp-189. I simply have this knife on me more, though H1 SE version was close, see choice 2
Salt 2 SE. This is soo close to taking top spot, and I do like SE H1
Chaparral LW. Great slicer, great size/weight for clipless pocket carry.
Stainless Delica vg10 SE. Heavy, not exactly rust proof salt 2. More a sentimental choice.
Sage 5 CF. This one is growing on me, it probably would have made more sense to be choice 3.

Re: Another way to find out which of your Spyders you really need ;) (Phantasy-knife-world: Court took all your knives..
Thanks to all who "played the mind game" so far, very interesting...
I wanted to point out once more, what´s the idea behind this addmittedly rather crazy scenario I created:
Really to think it through and think it would be true for a moment, and by that getting a new perspective.
Did NOT want to do another: "What are your five favorites" "What if you could only keep five (generally)"
But if you KNOW after a year is over you´re getting back ALL of your knives anyway, factors like "which one I payed the most for" "Which one is the best store of value" "which one I maybe don´t use, but it is a rare exclusive and I´ll never find one once more" - such factor DON`T come into play
Plus: If you imagine, every two month you´re getting (just) ONE knife back, so vey slowly accumulate your collection, is easyier to figure WHAT properties you really need in use (for example; "If I have one large stainless plain edge already, would my NEXT choice from a practical point of view rather be a small plain edge? or a serrated edge? Or some tool steel?" and so on...)
