I was just wondering what everyone's first spyderco was. Since I lost a screw in my SS Cricket I have been carring this...

I'm an admirer of Spyderco's designs. Using them is like immersing yourself in music or studying a painting in a museum. I buy some "fine" art but my preference is for usable art.

My first was an Endura CE, my last was a Karambit and my next will be a Tasman. Between my first and my last came about 40 others but I can't remember in which order they arrived.

A friend of mine worked in a Hiking/Camping/Skiing store. They carried Spyderco's and he had a dragonfly and it was perfect for me. When I saw thew Navigator in almite I had to have it. Since then I've gotten a few more (SS Cricket, Black Ladybug, and a Meadowlark). Still looking forward to buying many more.

Native III PE.
First they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not stand up, because I was not a Trade Unionist.

FRN/PE Delica for me. Trying to remember, but I think after that it went sort of like Endura, Native III, Dragonfly, Centofante III, Salsa, Canadian Pride, Meerkat (2), Gray Caly Jr (2), Paramilitary, Rescue 93 mm.

Mine started with the World Trade Center knife. I was looking for a high quality knife in January 2003 when I stumbled upon Spyderco. I read the narrative and I was touched by their efforts. The rest is history and in two (2) years, I have more than a hundred Spyderco knives in my collection. :D

I have seen your venitia mines Q ( on your webpage), i live in South Africa and was talking to one of my suppliers who knows the whereabouts of one. I believe it is an incredibly valuable/ rare Q. The owner of the abovementioned Q has never used it (NIB), it was given to him by the mine. I believe he will not sell it for any price ,,(yet)...
