How Many Spyderco Knives Do You Own?

Firefighter880 · #1

I knew that joining this forum would take me over the edge. It's like an addiction, and every knife that gets talked about in these threads I just have to own. I recently (two days ago) got a 95mm Manix. I frackin love the knife. Thought it would be the ultimate knife and the last purchase for a long while.... Turns out, now I'm just itching to get the Lava and Caly3. I've just got to have those knives.

I only own 13 Spyderco knives. I feel like that is a god's plenty though, and sense I just got my Manny, I can't justify buying two new Spydies so soon after. Also, I'm a full-time grad student on a firefighter's salary... how much do I think I can really spend on Spydies??

So here's the thing... I would like to know how many SPYDERCO knives you all own. If you read this thread, just drop a simple number. It will only take five seconds. If you feel like sharing a little more, state your latest Spyderco purchase. If you really want to talk, tell me if you have ever bought more than one Spyderco at a time.

Depending on what I hear, I might be able to justify buying the Caly3 or Lava right away. Or maybe even both! Thanks to all who reply!

At the moment, I actually own 13 Spydies, the latest of which being my 2 forum Lavas! The only non-Spydie that makes it into my rotation anymore is the CLB Biscuit.

Yesssss... :D

Search your feelings, you know it's a good idea, you know that you will Lava the Lava. This IS the knife you're looking for, get it online, they don't need to see your identification...[waving hands mystically]

That was when I joined the forum. I had this $$$ saved up for a big BM order which kept on getting delayed and delayed, so I called BM and said--pull the order! After that I had a nice chunk of change already set aside for knives so I went crazy with Doug at the SFO. It felt sooooooo good.

I won't say how many I have, I just tell you my aim is to buy the entire Spyderco!

I own just 3, two of which are about 7 years old (delica and endura). I just purchased the native and that is one awesome knife. I pretty much use it all day (for about 2 months now) and never once has it seen the stones. But I just can't wait untill my next purchase which will be a Persian. Just love that one! :D

Well.. 2 Byrd's and 4 SpyderCo's.

I love my Rookie!

I have about 40, the latest being a Lil' Temp in 440V I snagged off the bay a few days ago. If you want to see the most I have ever bought at once, run a search for "Spydie day", titles only, user name yablanowitz (I had to post a picture of that batch) :D

dlemay · #13

I currently own 3. Then again this is within the past 3 weeks as well. I have the Spyderfly, the swick, and tasman (last two are on their way actually). Darn college student budget.

Yes, I will Lava the Lava. It IS the knife I was looking for. I bought it online. They didn't need to see my identification. (drool..........)

Wait, what? Lava the Lava? I'm confused. Maybe I'll find out when my Lava I bought online without my identification comes here. And yes, after searching my feelings, I knew it was a good idea. But after searching my wallet I was second guessing.

BTW, I only have 7 spydies so far, including the Lava I will Lava:
2X LBK
Cricket
Kiwi
Dodo
Worker (it had a severly broken tip when I bought it)

EDIT: Forgot the byrds: Crow, Raven, Crossbill, Starling

321 at the moment, plus a Street Beat in the pipeline, a couple Byrds, and a Ramco. Latest additions are a pair of first generation LH Mariners, one SE and one PE that arrived a few days back, and an Abalone Mini-Mariner that mysteriously appeared on my doorstep yesterday. The PE is identified on the box as a Mariner, but is what is generally referred to as a "Paramedic" - no MARINER marking, and asymetrically thick handle slabs.

321!! I don't know if the day will come that I can afford to fork out enough cash to buy 300 Spydies. I'm not gonna lie... I'm jealous.
