Re: Show off your latest purchase
First post and first Spyderco for me. So hello from England.
Just a basic blue endura 4 vg10. And a Spyderco ukpk in cts-bd1on its way as we speak.
Great knives and I played around with the idea of a zdp-189 delica, which I will pick up next month and a final treat in the new year of a paramilitary 2.
The endura 4 was pretty sharp out of the box but I touched it up on a dmt very fine diamond steel. It's hair popping sharp now and I really like vg10 it's seems like a do it all steel I am glad I picked it as a first steel and the endura seems a great all round knife. Pretty taken with Spyderco's. Pic of my iphone so not the best.

The Kopa? No.
Just Kidding. :D
The PM2 is the brown S35VN model. I really like this color on the PM2. Does anyone know if it is the same color as the Southard? From the pics, the Southard looks a little lighter brown.

Congrats on the Kopa. The evrina is one of my favorite versions.

Great first choice. I am also a very big fan of the FRN series of knives. Got a SB Dragonfly 2 that is so much fun to open and close. Heck I even carry it over my beloved Millie once in a while.Gary73 wrote:First post and first Spyderco for me. So hello from England.

Cruwear Manix with Allen Putman black G10 scales.
I bought this Manix a few months ago, but it has been living in the safe ever since. I was never a fan of the gray scales, and was waiting for replacement scales.
I received the scales today, and decided to make it a user. I filed down the excessively aggressive liner jimping top and bottom - I did the same with the LW, and it's now so much more comfortable in hand. Also added a Casey Lynch clip.
It still needs a reprofile... I will not thin it out too much, just enough to maintain a 30 deg micro. Want this one more robust.

Auction site find for less than $60. My favorite version of the Rescue. The edge needs some work, but the lockup is as solid as any Spydie I have even operated.

I know that all the paramilitary 2's have this divot on the steel liners. It's where the laser starts the cutout. I'm not too sure if it being in that position is normal. Probably something that a google image search could answer.
