I saw this on the eBay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... RK:MEWA:IT
The fellow says it has a red handle and was made without a clip. Anyone know what it really is? It's about the size of a Delica so he says. I thought only trainers are made with the red handles?

Ladybug. Certainly within an order of magnitude of Delica size. You can count the teeth and get an idea of size. Delica's have a lot more teeth.fret wrote:I saw this on the eBay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... RK:MEWA:IT

I've got a red handled endura downstairs... frn/se and I think G-2. Not even bad condition for it's age.

Why do people worry more if you argue with your voices than if you just talk with them? What about if you lose those arguements?
Slowly going crazy at work... they found a way to make the voices work too.

Jey,
I don't have access to e-bay at work, but obviously I lost. I put my bid in before I left this morning. I figured that if someone wanted it that bad I'll settle for the pictures. As for overall value of what you have, I believe that you may already have a 1 copy proto. I was hoping to get one too, just not for $500US. Now just think how many other Q's I can buy for that much $.

hard to beat
Just an observation here guys, judging from sedalia003's ebay habits, you better be ready to bid very high and at the last second, too, if you both want the same knife 
Go to his feedback history and look at all the ending times and when the winning bids were placed...judge for yourselves, but most bids seem to be in the final seconds.

Hey forum members,
Sorry if you don't like my bidding style, but since this one went down while I was work I really didn't have much choice. I don't think the minute and a half that I had to pull this up and bid would have made much difference in the end. There are occasional Spyderco's that speak to me and this was one of them. Usually I decide what the knife is worth to me and put that amount up. I've been buying these for several years (> 10) and have managed to put together a sizable collection. This Q was unique in my opinion. I have a little over 40 Q's in the collection. (Cheating a little with the five knife set plain blade and the four knife set sheepsfoot set.) Several are fairly rare, but this is the crown jewel. I really don't have much to contribute to the forum, so usually just keep quiet. I'm not one to add "me too" to the posts and usually where I could add a comment someone else has beat me to it. I am amazed at the knowledge of the rest of you. Hopefully someday I'll be able to add 2 cents worth that is really worth 2 cents. i do have individual pictures of the collection, so if anyone is looking for photos, let me know and I'll see if I can help.
Hope no one is too upset at me for this auction, but I really couldn't pass it up.

Hi Rawd, congrats! Think I can safely say we've kept one another honest a time or two out there. Never begrudge you the ones you beat me on, hope it's the same with you. I got shut out completely on this one, between the time I last checked the bids and plugged in mine, and the time I hit confirm with 5 seconds to go, my bid had become unacceptably low. Ah well, such is life and such are the risks of auction sniping, didn't really figure to win on that one, but had to try.

Hey Rawd-
No one's mad. A little disappointed maybe that we didn't win. We would love to see some pics of your collection. And just because someone else posted doesn't mean you can't contribute. That's the beauty of this forum, everyone has an opinion and we usually look forward to hearing about it. Congrats on the Q and enjoy.

Rawd,
No dissapointment here either. It's good you have the resources to have such a collection (At last count I think I'm at 27 or 29). I'd love to see pictures, especially if it's for ones I don't have a picture to. I now have a coors pic :D Did you guys notice the blade shape too. Not the production shape.
I'm curious to know if I may have one you don't. Any chance of a list of the ones you have?
