500th Post

[Hannibal Lecter]

Good day, all.

This officially marks my 500th post on the Spyderco forum, something I have been looking forward to for some time but nonetheless had a sneaky way of arriving more quickly than I had anticipated.

I believe it is customary for those achieving such a milestone to choose a Spyderco knife of some variety as reward of sorts; mine is already on the way. I finally found the Merlin PE I had been seeking for months. I am quite giddy, as would be expected.

I wanted to take a moment and thank my fellow forumites for their patient tolerance as I grow in my love of these fine knives. I appreciate greatly the information shared here from the more knowledgeable members and from Spyderco’s own.

To think, all of this just since November 2004. Hard for me to believe sometimes.


Just imagine what the future holds…

My deepest appreciation and respect to you all,

The future will hold an empty wallet and a case full of Spydies :) :) :)

CONGRATS on 500, and a great choice in the PE Merlin. Keep on postin

Every time I attempt to convince myself that I have more knives than I need, I remember that even though this is true I do not have nearly as many as I want... :p
