Count ‘em up and share
Count ‘em up and share
Told my daughter that people are a little bored on the forum and starting games. She said she wanted to count all my spydercos. Fixed blades, kitchen knives, mules, folders, in the car, in the spyderpac, in a drawer, on the desk... all of them.
I said the big question is “is it over 50?”
Wrong spyderholic, it’s officially 88. :eek:
So, count them up and share which ones are special and why.
Special is the tufram police that Sal just sent to me as a charity give away and the red Persian, such a cool design.

Re: Count ‘em up and share
I counted users, back-ups, retired knives and the ones I'm thinking about trading / selling.
18 Spydercos, and 1 CE Byrd Cara Cara that's been MIA since 2018.
Special ones?
Police 3 that I bought as soon as they came out. Carried off and on for a decade, rotating with my Millies and PM2. Lots of memories attached to it. First dates, job interviews, a few moves, etc.
Aqua Salt PE that Sal sent me for doing something dumb with an Endura. I beat the **** out of it over the years. It's the knife that opened my eyes to the carbon steel level of toughness H1 has, and made me realize rust proof isn't the only amazing quality of this unique steel.
Tasman Salt. This is from the very first run, one of the first ones to be made without a CC number. It was my first H1 knife, first serrated Spyderco, and first hawkbill from any company. It's had a rough life as a pure beater, slicing dirty and heavily abrasive materials I didn't want to subject my nicer knives to.

Re: Count ‘em up and share
i only have seven, which is pretty low for around here, but they are a very selective seven and i only have two hands, so it’s about five more than i need. i have been fortunate enough to have visited the sfo though, so i’ve experienced most of the regularly available knives in hand, which really informed my purchases. nothing in that store could kick the manix out of my pocket except a yojimbo and that’s only because it’s such a cool looking knife.
keep your knife sharp and your focus sharper.

Re: Count ‘em up and share
25 :spyder: folders. Another 10-15 in various other manufactures, including several fixed blades. Man, trying to account for them all made my head hurt. And I realize compare to some of you, I ain't go much. I should keep a spreadsheet or something.
In terms of the special ones, I have three and they are all Golden. Steel may vary depending on what is sharp at the moment.

Re: Count ‘em up and share
"Just" eleven.
Deliberately try to limit the Spydies I have at any given point in time to "around ten" (One of those I have currently was a gift). So I have to sell some from time to time of course.
9 of them lockbacks, 9 of them FRN, 8 of them belonging to the "Endura family" (if you count the Stretch as a "member").
No Spyderco fixed blades.
Ah, yes, plus only ONE quality folder anymore that is NOT a Spyderco...

My favorites are my ZDP-189 Delica, carbon fiber Positron, and serrated Endura. Each of the Lady/Manbugs is on a 1 1/4" split-ring key-ring along with my two door keys. The two keys and large split-ring serve as a lanyard of sorts and greatly enhance my grip when using the little knives (If needed,I'll slide my little finger into the ring). If I'm away from home I'll have my house keys which means I'll also have a knife.

Re: Count ‘em up and share
I've only discovered Spyderco for a little over a year now and went a little crazy once the BITE sunk in! A quick count I totaled 31 :spyder: 's
Mules have bit me the hardest and probably have enjoyed them more than the folders.
(6) PD#1's (plus 2 gifted)
(5) PMA11's
(1) CPM 4V
(1) RWL-34
(1) CTS-B70P
Para 3's:
BBS M390
Rex 45
CF 52100
BHQ M4
St. Nicks 4V
Paramilitary 2:
Blurple S110V
Rex 45
DLT M390 (One for me one for my son he just left for school,WKU Red, but he though it was too big to carry around campus so I sold his)
DF2's
KC Hap40 Pakkawood
BRG ZDP-189
HB SE
Manix2:
Maxamet
BB S30v
ZDP-189 Manbug, VG10 Ladybug, Endura V-toku2 and my beloved Sprint Spyderhawk!
Most days the BBS para3 is in my pocket and is my most carried knife, the blue is perfect for a Dodger and WIldcats fan. Gifted family over 25 Byrds and a few Spydies over last Christmas, so to think I've purchased over 50 knives in a year is a little worrisome....at least from my wife's pov, I'm fine with it :D

Re: Count ‘em up and share
I currently have 9 but I'm sure that number will increase by next year.
Re: Count ‘em up and share
"Only" 31 Spydies. But that's about a third of my collection, which now includes 40 different steels. Good grief.

Re: Count ‘em up and share
I have 20 different steels among my 31 unique Spyderco models. I've had around 60 :spyder: total so far, and I've been trying to cut back recently.
Most are special to some extent, but these stand out:
Most are special to some extent, but these stand out:
- HAP40 Endura was gifted to me by my wife and the first with which I whittled a hair
- All of my Manixes because CBBL is the best
- Kapara was my calendar contest prize last year
- Cruwear Para 3 for some intangible reason
- The smooth green G10 of my Native 5 is just awesome
- Red M390 PM2 was one that I passed on during the first run only to kick myself every time I saw one.
- P.I.T.S. and I have a love-hate relationship. It was an impulse buy of a low wear resistance steel in a pricey package, and the titanium anodizing blemishes super easily, but I like everything else about it.
