My Spyderco collection and Introduction

#1

Post by bladesandbeverages »

Hello everyone,

Steve here. I have been reading this forum for many years and have been using and buying blades for over 15. I must say this is a great forum. I have learned so much about knives on this forum over the years and still have a lot more to learn. Just wanted to say thanks to all of the knowledgeable people here who take the time to share their knife knowledge and experiences for this great hobby.

That being said, I thought I would share my spyderco collection here as who doesn’t love Spydie pics. Hopefully the attachments work. If not, my apologies.

The Sage 2 is the one that I probably carried more than any other knife. It’s in retirement now but served me well for a few years

Nice collection! Is it just me, but I could swear some of those pm2’s are shorter in blade length than the other ones? Unless it’s the angle/lighting. Also May I ask what your favourite model(s) are?

Paramilitary(1)'s vs Paramilitary 2's...

Welcome to the forum!

Very nice collection! You definitely have more Spydies than I ever had, including those I sold again!

Right now out of your collection I´d choose the Siren (never had, now want one) and a Millie (had one, want another one again)... :smlling-eyes
Top three going by pocket-time (update March 24):
- EDC: Endura thin red line ffg combo edge (VG10); Wayne Goddard PE (4V), Endela SE (VG10)
-Mountains/outdoors: Pac.Salt 1 SE (H1), Salt 2 SE (LC200N), and also Wayne Goddard PE (4V)

Appreciate the warm welcome from everyone. Airlsee is correct about the difference in paramilitary blade lengths. As far as my favorites, that’s a tough one that often changes but if I had to pick some as of late it would be the native 5 LW, Native chief, Manix 2, and the shaman. My favorites in the past that have got the most pocket time and use would probably be the salt 1, Sage 2, and PM2. Always loved the dragonfly as well.

Currently have 2 spydies inbound. Lil native backlock and the fully serrated leaf shape Caribbean (Thanks Evil D 😂)

Blades I’m mostly looking forward to are the magnacut manix 2, native chief LW, and lil native LW.

Amazing collection, welcome! Curious to hear — looks like you have mainly PE. What do you prefer about PE over SE, or vice versa?
