My first <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> was a Police SS, SE which I inhereted from a friend and had never used. I carried it to one of my daughter's lacrosse games and we took bottled water in plastic shrinkwrap for the team. With one surprising swipe I opened up the shrinkwrap on two sixpacs and cut open 5 plastic bottles of water which leaked all over the place. So I learned what sharp means.

Dude ~
My first <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> folder was a C-17 Catcherman! I saw this in the <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> '98 PDR. It caught my attention almost immediately. I was on the lookout for a good folding fillet knife and I found just what I was looking for at a toolshop. The price was right and the knife feels great on my hands, so I purchased it wihthout any hesitation.. The <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> C-17 served well in many of my outings especially when it comes to cleaning, gutting and dressing fish.. Though the AUS-6 was a bit stiff, it held pretty well.. I'm actually looking forward to the MBS-26 version to see how flexible and strong it can be... <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

Ryan,
G10 PE Police. Biggest and best. <img src="tongue.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> Also, I have a question. Is the SFO going to offer the FRN colored Jesters? I need a green one.

Everybody's gotta be someplace. Lucky we're not all the same place. <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

My first was a <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> Endura, actually wanted a Police model first but the store didn't have one. So the Endura was a hold over until I could get a Police model. Ended up with both a Police and Ayoob at the same time. All three were puchased in one month. Good start.

My first was one of the early Terzoula <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>models, with the aluminium handles.
Plain blade. Still works great!!
I still remember when a former boss tried to confiscate it from me(with lust in his eyes towards my knife). And all he got from me is the "official NJ state Bird".

My Tufram Plain Cricket, about 2 years ago.
Someone had showed it to me and it looked like a cool knife. Walked into an outdoorshop couple of months later and there was one on display. Wasn't priced either. Got it for approx $30 (75 NLG). <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0><img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>
Still my every day carry...

My first was a combo edge FRN Endura, I bought it off the Snap On Tools truck about 5 years ago. Two weeks later I bought a S/S Police S/E and shortly after a Native P/E FRN Gin-1.
I now own 25+ Spydercos and looking for early models to collect. <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>
Spydercard... Don't leave home without it!
