Hello from a newbie

#1

Post by Arcanus »

I've been a longtime reader of this forum who finally decided to join in the fun.
So far my Spyderco collection is not where I'd like it to be, but in the end whose is? At present I only own...

Delica 4 plain edge, FRN
Delica 4 wave plain edge, FRN
ATS 55 Civilian, Carbon Fiber handle, plain Edge
Carbon fiber harpy, vg10 serrated
Endura 4 plain edge, FRN
Impala, without the guthook

Sorry I lack the pictures to show but hopefully I can get a pic of them all together some time. However, with all the collections I've seen on this site we already have plenty to drool over as it is. :D

Well Jaislandboy to be honest I got the Impala at the time because it was one of the first spyderco knives I'd seen with a linerlock and that paired with a heavy blade and the g10 scales had me hooked. Action is very smooth and it's a knife I used to carry for SD because the handle comes to a nice little point and is comfortable in the hand. Now it's a backup and mainly just a nice piece of my collection that I keep safe.

Hi Arcanus. Welcome to the Spyderco Forums and enjoy your stay here. I see you already have some very nice pieces in your collection. I presume others will join in the not so distant future ;)
