Which spyderco is in the mail?
Re: Which spyderco is in the mail?
Just ordered a Titanium Military to go with the Fluted Titanium Military I recently purchased.

Sounds like you, like me, don't live at a convenient distance from a big knife store. I pretty much have to buy them to try them out. This has been expensive but fun!! :DSpydergirl88 wrote:Lil Sub hilt. sometimes I buy random knives I don't think I will like just to see if I will be proved wrong lol. *cough cough Battlestation, Vrango*

Re: Which spyderco is in the mail?
I did this a couple of weeks ago, with the help of a forum friend who got me the Ti model at the Seconds Sale, and I've carried it ever since. I really like the heft and balance -- it's a serious work knife. After being unable to resist the blue fluted Ti (in my avatar) a few years ago, I thought I couldn't afford the regular Ti too. Now, at current prices, I'm thinking of a backup :)TomB7777 wrote:Just ordered a Titanium Military to go with the Fluted Titanium Military I recently purchased.

Same here. I don't even know of a knife shop within an inconvenient distance from me, haha.
Probably the main reason I've never owned nor tried any model with a fluted handle.
I don't currently have any knives flying through the air aimed at me, but I almost pulled the trigger on a baliyo earlier. I'm not a balisong type, but I've found a recent need for a pen that can go into my pocket (without trying to tear a hole in my pants) so I can write on receipts for a company card while out and about.
Going back to Caly.
Re: Which spyderco is in the mail?
It's interesting that you say that, because the only fluted one I own (blue anodized Ti Millie) was one I wouldn't have bought if I hadn't handled it in person in one of may rare trips to a B&M. You ought to try one -- the contoured handles are irresistible once you've handled one.SpeedHoles wrote:DougC-3 wrote:Sounds like you, like me, don't live at a convenient distance from a big knife store.

Couldn't stand it any longer. I was wrestling between the PITS and Vrango.... in the end, I got a Memory.

A Second Spyderco Para 2 with Camo Scales and Black Blade (Used-- Factory Second in "as new" condition.)
Already have one in the safe-- this one MIGHT? be a user.

Re: Which spyderco is in the mail?
A factory second Manix 2 CF CPM 154/S90V sprint. Got a great deal on the bay. The original CF S90V sprint of 2009 was close to a perfect knife for me, but they only made 400 of them and the last one I saw for sale was priced at $475 So the current one has virtually the same good points plus uses an interesting innovative technique for forging its blade laminate. Can't wait for it to get here.

Re: Which spyderco is in the mail?
Thanks to a tip from a fellow forum member friend, I now have a Caly 3 in HAP40 headed my way. EBay coupon for $15 off if you use it before 8pm eastern.

Two modified Dragonfly 2's from (dealer) KnivesPlus... One safety orange FRN with a dark, stonewashed blade - and one hawkbill with a dyed, tricolor FRN...
Re: Which spyderco is in the mail?
Congrats! I scored one recently off Ebay as well, it's in my pocket right now. If you got the one that ended a couple of days ago with only one bid, you got a great deal indeed!DougC-3 wrote:A factory second Manix 2 CF CPM 154/S90V sprint. Got a great deal on the bay...
I've now got a Chaparral lw in the mail.

Re: Which spyderco is in the mail?
Yep, that's the one :D :D It was one of those few lucky times (for the buyer at least) when nobody seems to notice, and I resisted bidding or hitting the watch button to keep from attracting attention until the last few seconds :oNate wrote:Congrats!

Re: Which spyderco is in the mail?
Arriving on Thursday
Bradley Bowie, strictly got this knife (again) because I enjoy taking my son to the woods and showing him trees bugs, and all that good stuff. The tip on the Bowie can be beat/broke for prying.!!!

Re: Which spyderco is in the mail?
Well, I'd like to think my S110v Para 3 is in the mail, but UPS has clearly advised it was delivered Saturday and left at my door, regardless whether I tell them it never arrived and I was at my apartment all day. Time to start an investigation/claim

Re: Which spyderco is in the mail?
Persistence. Just bought it today after maybe 3 weeks of "research" (me just looking at Spyderco's online for a few hours at a time) and it's going to be my first Spyderco.
Tell me, is it as warm in the summer as it is in the country, or vice versa?
