help me decide on something ridiculous to buy!
I have a strong need to add something ridiculous to my spyderco collection. I saw a blacked out matriarch 2 on instagram and was instantly drawn to it.
So that's my first choice, serrated fully blacked out matriarch 2 with a wiseman ring. But I was wondering if there's anything else in the lineup that I've missed. Basically looking for something entirely goofy. I'm not particularly attached to the tactical or whimsical side since I likely won't take it out of the house. As long as it's less than $150-ish and is particularly odd.
thanks for the suggestions in advance, have a great weekend.

Hold out for the Pochi. It looks like it will be pretty off beat.
Do right always. It will give you satisfaction in life.

I'm an enabler

It is a terrific blade. If that's what you really wanted, get it!

Pochi is a good suggestion.

Re: help me decide on something ridiculous to buy!
The problem with the weird ones is that people like us (I have a Dodo coming) keep the prices on the secondary market rather high. Your $150 limit does reduce your choices.

I recommend Dodo. A very funny knife.

May as well try out a curvey spyderedge!
Curios if the matriarch 2 would work in the garden or landscaping? I've nearly pulled the trigger a few times.

I can tell you from first hand experience that both the PE & SE Lil' Matriarch are awesome for lawn & garden tasks -- IMO. :)

It's pretty vicious on flesh too, but I'll spare you the graphic photos.legOFwhat? wrote: ↑Sat Aug 15, 2020 2:07 pmMay as well try out a curvey spyderedge!

Knifeworks still has an Introvert but it's a little over budget.

Every so often, you can find a Spyderco R for $150-ish on the secondary market. It's not lacking personality. I don't own one, but the Swiss cheese look is fascinating.
Re: help me decide on something ridiculous to buy!
i was just thinking earlier today that we never hear about the matriarch 2 on this forum. it needs more live around here.
the dodo is sweet too though.

There's a few places that show the Shabaria in stk, and it meets the price point.

Re: help me decide on something ridiculous to buy!
Definitely get a Pochi. That one is destined to be a future collectors item. it'll be one of those knives that has the folks on this forum in 2028 scratching their heads and saying 'I never knew about that one...'
