Not getting a second M4 Para2 in CF from Knifeworks. I spent the money on the Jade M4 from BladeHQ instead for variety's sake. The CF is now my main EDC Para2 and learned that the Jade G10 is the least attractive of the bunch imo.

Re: Biggest Spyderco regret of 2016
I still really need to pick up a Nilakka before they dry up. I bought two of the K2s. Maybe I should sell one and pick up a Nilakka? Hmmm...
Of yeah, I passed on the BOGO on the blue K04 for some odd reason. I should have bought like 10 of them for gifts for everybody.

Where did they have it? I am looking to replace a similarly sized Victorinox kitchen knife, would have jumped on it.bearfacedkiller wrote: Of yeah, I passed on the BOGO on the blue K04 for some odd reason. I should have bought like 10 of them for gifts for everybody.
Re: Biggest Spyderco regret of 2016
Same here. The wait for the M4 CF version seemed like forever and when I finally got one it didn't disappoint. I carry it all the time but I'm afraid of losing it. I sold the Jade version figuring that the Cruwear was a suitable backup. I still have 4 PM2s, not sure what I'm actually worried about. But the peel ply CF that they used on the PM2 and 52100 Millie is just perfect for my tastes.FCM415 wrote:Not getting a second M4 Para2 in CF from Knifeworks.

Speaking of which, I also passed up the chance to buy a CF S90v Manix2 on the exchange for a great price. No idea why. Not sure I like the new smooth CF on the Cruwear version and really wish it had the peel ply scales on it.

Re: Biggest Spyderco regret of 2016
Biggest?...the first that comes to mind is the terrible CF M4 PM2 that I received from knifeworks. Really bad carbon fiber on it. I sold it, didn't lose too much money but I wish it didn't go down like that. Oh well.
On the bright side I got a factory second that is almost perfect for $85 a few months later.

I had deeply regretted missing the CF M4 Pm2 as well, and was also fortunate enough to find one at the seconds sale too!
Though, my biggest regret was definitely not getting a HAP40 Dragonfly.

Re: Biggest Spyderco regret of 2016
M4 performance has since been a revelation for me and the CF is so darn attractive, I can't keep it out of my pocket. I had a S90v CF but I spent $400 on it, couldn't get myself to use it and never fully appreciated it sitting in its box and just passed it along. Since its an exclusive, I'd get a second if KW so decides to do a second run.abbazaba wrote:Same here.

I got two of the Cruwears, I gotta rotate it in.. A fine backup indeed. Enjoy them in good health!
Re: Biggest Spyderco regret of 2016
Regret? My avoidance of all the HAP40 sprints, even as rave reviews were pouring in, simply because I'm not fond of cladded steel (the badly uneven grind lines on my SB Stretch still tick me off).
But I'll get this year's Meerkat (or maybe a Manbug) so I can sample the steel and, if it wows me, try the secondary market for a missed sprint or two.

Me too. Hopefully I'll score an upcoming HAP40 Caly3 though and fill that HAP40 need.jmh58 wrote:Not getting a HAP40 Delica.

Re: Biggest Spyderco regret of 2016
YES! Letting these slip by without getting one was a bad move, I even had the opportunity but waited too long. I keep looking for one too.jmh58 wrote:Not getting a HAP40 Delica... Still looking though!!! John

Re: Biggest Spyderco regret of 2016
I really have no Spydie regrets. Yes, I kind of wish I would've bought a HAP40 Delica when they dropped but I'm really happy with my VG10 Delicas. I also managed to buy 3 other HAP40 models so I'm good.
Of all the things I've lost I miss my mind the most!

Re: Biggest Spyderco regret of 2016
Oh yes.....and without a doubt the Delica in HAP40.
Re: Biggest Spyderco regret of 2016
You guys are making me feel a bit guilty now for owning three Hap40 Delicas :)

Re: Biggest Spyderco regret of 2016
None here!
Though I didn't get many at all last year, I didn't miss any that I really wanted. I almost missed the HAP40 Dragonfly, but I managed to find one at a good dealer. The closest thing I have to a regret is not getting a 204P Military due to money, but not only can I still get one if I want, I love my Cruwear so much that I don't feel a strong need for another.

Re: Biggest Spyderco regret of 2016
Not winning the lottery before the seconds sale. So really, no regrets.
Re: Biggest Spyderco regret of 2016
That reminds me...didn't think I had any regrets, but I HATED having a business trip to Denver...about 3 weeks before the seconds sale! Ugh. I would have stayed the weekend for that in a heartbeat.yablanowitz wrote:Not winning the lottery before the seconds sale. So really, no regrets.

Re: Biggest Spyderco regret of 2016
Well ...my only regret is I'm still a little out of control...67 knives for 2016....don't regret any in particular, just the total.
Did not miss one that I wanted though.
