Hi Ambaal :) Good to see you in the forums here. Make sure you take some pics.

I would suggest trawling the internet and the usual forums outside of here to buy stuff and bring them into Oz

Hello Aussies :)

Just checking in again to see if there are any more Spyderco freaks living out here in the big brown land called Terra Australis ?

I have surprisingly recruited many more fans from my shooting circuits and they have all been suitably impressed by Spyderco products. In fact, i am trying to organise a giveaway of Spydie gear and other stuff as a donation from me to the NSW IPSC State Titles in a couple of months. Let's see if i can give more karma away and also spread the good word for Spyderco down under. There should be a lot of shooters from NSW, QLD and other states around Oz turning up for that event. Funny how people who appreciate guns as tools and toys also appreciate fine engineering such as knives :p
Cheers

G’day! Yep another Aussie from out of the wood work.

Spydie giveaways at the NSW state tittles?
Wasn’t going to them, I may have to change my plans.
What are you going to donate Dan?

At the moment my Spyderco addiction is bad, real bad.
Up to 60 so far, a beginning; some new, some old, some cheap, some
pushing the limit of the budget. But loving them all. :p

The next one that’s on the way is the Shadario.

By the way, is there counseling section on this forum for hopeless Spyderco addicts?

G'day Reject,

Good to see you here after 60 Spydies !!! Woohoo nice amount :) I found after about 40 or 50 I started to realist what I liked, what I am indifferent to and what I dont really crave at all.

NSW IPSC State Titles donations planned for a couple if Spydies and some other gear. Not public knowledge as yet ;) . only a few know about it. Send me an email and I'd be happy to chat :p

LOL Doc :)

I wish you roamed Oz or NZ so that I can meet up with you :p . There are a lot of Spyderco fans downunder but not too many roam this forum.

I have been doing my bit to spread the Spyder-venom. So with my involvement in IPSC amongst other 'things' I feel I have a duty to Sal and the crew to spread the joy ! I'll start another thread on what I should buy to giveaway. Might give up part of my collection too ?

G’day Dan we have already chatted on another forum and else where.
Thanks again for your help. I hope you pointed Ambaal in the same direction.

You mean there is a time in collecting Spyderco’s when you become a “realist
I haven’t got there yet, I still want them all.

:D Dr Snubnose What accent? No wucking forries mate. We don’t mind taking a bit of stick.

G'day all. Nice thread Dan. My name is Jono, I'm 30 and work for a wholesale mobile electronics company and I'm from Perth as well, lived here all my life. I discovered Spydies earlier this year while looking for a sharpening kit, liked what i saw and I've been looking at the forum everyday since. My collection is very modest in size and I'm giving my brother a Persistence for Xmas to spread the Spydie love :)

I'll add some slang to this thread when my brain is switched on, still recovering from Xmas party :D

:mad: Bloody ****! Brian. What a bloody nasty thing to say. Comparing cricket to bat manure.

I like bat manure and don’t think it anywhere as boring as cricket. :D

Although I don’t mind the one dayers and 20 20.
