Spyderco Forums

Hey All, Just thought I give you all a shout and say "Hello" . It's been a Really Long while since i last posted here ... Yeah, I know :rolleyes: .

It's been crazy here in SC since I left Good Ole Colorado . It was really hard for me to handle the change... Major Culture Shock :eek: . I'm finally getting used to it here, but I Still Miss My Colorado and Mountains :) .

No matter how long I may be away from here, I always manage to find my way back and I always find myself missing the forumites here and the "Old Crew". Not sure how many of the "Old Crew" is still around??? I notice there are a Ton of new members I don't recognize. To the New Members that don't know who I am... "Hello" :) ... I'm "raven" and one of the older members. It looks like I have some catching up to do. Thanks for listening, Take Very Good Care, and Be Safe Always.

God Bless :)

Good to hear from an old brother. :)

Hey Gil, welcome back.

Hello raven,

I'm fairly new to the forum, and I can definitely empathize with you about moving. Over the summer I left a small town at the foothills of the Washington Cascades and moved to an Island in the Puget Sound. Talk about culture shock. Hope to see more posts from you in the future. Take Care,

Gil,
Good to see you back. Any new toys in your life?

Welcome back Gil. Hear you on the "culture shock", although I have to say mine has been entirely pleasant.

Hi Paul, Good to hear from you Sir :) . I honestly didn't think it would affect me much, man was I wrong :rolleyes: :o !!! I am finally getting used to the folks and can actually somewhat understand what they're saying when they talk granted that they don't talk to fast :p . From what I understand most folks don't really care for the area we live in, but that was also the case for the area I lived back in Colorado. I just roll with it and take it one day at a time :) . Take Very Good Care My Friend and Be Safe Always.

God Bless :)

Hey Roman, Good to be back and hopefully I can stay a bit longer this time . As far as new toys... haven't grabbed a spydie in a while. I've acquired a few other folders and these toys :D ...


Custom GA Precision "Crusader" .308.


U.S. Optics SN-3 T-PAL (3.2-17 x 44mm)


This is a sword I designed and had build by Miller Brothers Blades (this thing is a BEAST!!! :D )

Take Good Care and Be Safe Always.

God Bless :)

Glad to see you again, Raven. :) It has been a long time (May perhaps?). I remember you posting about going to the annual BLADE show--did you end up going?

Anyway, glad to see you've been able to pick up a few new goodies along the way. :D The custom sword is pretty cool. Did you go with M4 perhaps?

Anyway, take care and hope to see you around (more often!) :D

Welcome back! That sword is pretty great :D .

Hey Michael, Yeah I did make it to the Blade Show and had a great time as usual. The wife and I usually help Gus Cecchini (GTC Knives) and hang out at his table, which is just a bit down from the Spyderco Booth :) .

As for the goodies, I've actually had the rifle and scope for a while, just never got around to posting them. As for the sword, it's made from 5160 spring steel. Like I mentioned earlier, this thing is a beast. It's actually 5/16" thick... a sharpened chunk of steel :eek: :D !!!

I hope to keep up this time and post more often :p . Take Good Care and Be Safe Always.

God Bless :)
