What was your first Spyderco?

[clovisc]

Chinook II. i told myself: "I want just one REALLY good knife, and that's it."

HA! little did i know i'd be addicted to spydies immediately thereafter!

[DMgangl]

My first was a Endura 4 CE SS about 3 years ago. I needed a good knife to cut heavy rope at work. Every since then I only carry a :spyder: folder.

I got my very first Spyderco knife in 1995. It was a stainless handled Spyderco Mariner, SE, GIN-1 model. It wasn't long after that I got a Police model. Then I got a JD Smith when they first came out in ATS-34 blade steel. I remember the day very well.

Mine was the pictured Native III:

A Ronin got me into this mess...... LOL LOL :p

Have not looked back.......... :spyder:

[Zozo*HC*]

I still love it, and its in regular field use! :D

The Byrd Pelican was on clearance at SFO the first time I walked in. It was the most affordable knife there and still a great value (very useful for cutting the padding for Pergo type flooring). I thought some much of it that I bought one for myself and one for my brother.

Byrd knives .... the gateway drug :) :spyder:

My first Spyderco was a left-hand Police. Given to me by a friend in 1991 or '92.

First of many...... :)

Mid '80s, my wife bought me a plainedge Worker.

At the time it was the ugliest **** thing I ever saw. However upon using it I found the real beauty was in the utility of it. One hand opening/closing and no belt sheath required. Been hooked since. Still have that worker.

My first Spyder was an SS serrated Police model my parents bought for me when I was 15, about 12 years ago. I used that knife for everything, even used it on a charter boat for a while. Despite hands that were frequently covered in fish slime and salt water, I never had any problems losing my grip on the knife.

I still have that one floating around in a box somewhere. I don't think I'll ever get rid of it, even though I don't use it much.

[OuchThatsSharp]

This is the actuall first Spyderco knife I ever purchased. C78 Native III. I still have it along with 25 other Natives.

[SimpleIsGood229]

Mine was a PE Endura 4 in ZDP-189. Since then, it's been Krein'd.

[Lord vader]

The first for me was the C41 Native PE.

[McBain]

It all started with a PE frn Dragonfly... why oh why did I have to buy that!!!
:) :) :D :D :p

[fredswartz]

I was into Benchmade and Microtech big time. For some reason I bought this full sized Tim Wegner custom collaboration. That knife somehow got me to tune into the Spyderco forum and the rest is history.

[Ribz]

All black SE worker is the first one i remember. Got it at a gun show for about $40. I knew about :spyder: s and got it because it was all black and SE mmmm I still have it too :D

[Lev]

Black FRN Ladybug, circa 1990-1991. I can't remember for sure anymore. I carried it for years, almost losing it twice. It still looks new. Didn't buy another until 2006 when a friend directed me to the Spyderco website to check out a knife he had just bought. From that moment, a lot of time and money has been spent on steel :D

[spyderHS08]

for what it counts...a native 1st gen brk. which i did not know at that time is not a real :spyder: as I was new to spyders and just found it at a little shop i was at on vaca in colorado. i wanted to try out the hole for openage lol :rolleyes: . so i bought it, liked it then got an endura 3 CE which was my real first
