Just curious

I'm 39 now ( time flies when you're having fun :rolleyes: :D ).

I got my first real knife form my grandpa when I was about 10 years old. It was a Herder slipjoint.

I've carried only a SAK for years until last year November when I discovered Spyderco. Haven't carried anything else since. I have about 35 Spydies now.

I'm 38. I've had various SAKs, pocket knives and multitools over my lifetime, but I only recently decided to look into "serious" knives. It didn't take long to realize that Spyderco epitomizes what I look for in a company and its products: quality, innovation, value for money, and integrity.

I am 53. I got my first pocket knife at a novelty shop when I was 6 years old. I have carried every day since.

55. I started carrying a knife while I was in the Army, back in the day, way back. I've carried literally hundreds of knives over the years until the mid '90s when I "discovered" Spyderco. Now I only carry Spydies, at least one, every day. :D

i'm 16 and i hade my first knife when i was 9(a victorinox).

[ghostrider]

38.
Been carrying a knife off and on since I was around nine years old. Mostly SAK’s or Leatherman’s. Four years ago I bought a one-hander to carry every day and discovered how much I’d use it. The quest began and I started Spyderco ten months ago. Don’t know how many I have now. The quest for the perfect one seems endless.

I'm 40!!!

Into knives from about the age of 7 or 8

Used to carry a SAK til 1995 than I bought my first serious knives. They were a couple of SOG winders (I and II). The little SOG winder was my EDC for almost 10 years... :eek: ..... til I discovered Spyderco this year :)

Now the majority of my knives are :spyder: s

I am 2 weeks short of 44.
Always liked knives but I know now that I never had a real knife apart from a SAK until about 2 years ago. I believe I made up for it since.

Don't worry that the world might end tomorrow, in Australia it's tomorrow already.

......if you want to be the oldest you can have as many of my 47 years as you like to add to your own! :) :cool: :)

Cheers, Ken

63 next month. Can't remember when I didn't carry a knife. We all had a pocket knife in grade school, and you could take them to grade school in those days.

Saw my first Spydie in a magazine advertisement in the late 80's. It was a Co-Pilot and I carried it on the job IWB weak side until I retired. Still have it - along with 25 others. :D

[kwakster]

My body is 40 years old, but i never grew past the age of 14.
Probably the reason why i now have about 30 Spyderco models, about 40 models of other brands, i like to tinker with them, sharpen them, and in general like to talk about them.
I also make a living selling knives on the internet, for me this is like getting paid for my hobby, it doesn't get any better than this, :D
Only problem with this job is that so many fine knives go through my hands and i keep finding it difficult to let them all go......
I also like this forum very much, it seems the only place where people like me can vent their thoughts without being seen as the village idiot. :p

I will be 21 tomorow but I dont know for how long have been a knife lover but I know I've been carrying a knife daily for over 3 years now...
