A new nut

[O,just,O]

Hello everybody. My first post here & a brief story of my life with spyderco,so far
I just couldn’t believe it. I wanted a new knife, so looked around on the web and found a site clearing knives out. All sorts of knives, and what’s this, Spyderco, volpe, kiwi, aussie pride, stretch, yeah the stretch looks good give that a go. Pays my money, waits my wait, and postie brings my new knife (great isn’t it) two days later. Now I had a C90F Stretch in my hand & was caressing it with my eyes, what a beauty, fit & finish, faultless, & just stunk of quality, SHARP! Wow!, love this tool just love it. A few days latter we were laying vinyl floor coverings & my wife commented, that thing is sharper than the stanley knife, here cut this. I carried the stretch for a while but it was pulling my pants down, so I thought another Spyder but not so heavy this time. Looked on e bay, found Spyderco ladybug pe, thought that will do, bid, win, pay, wait, arrives, open pack with stretch & what is this tiny thing, & a half toothy blade. I thought oh no I blew it & went too small & light & what about these damned teeth, oh well give it a go. Cut this, cut that, cut this again , I couldn’t believe it, This little gizo really cuts, EDC the thing & cut everything & once you hook one of those teeth in , man you are away & cuttin. Think it was about here somewhere that I got bitten. Next I saw micro dyad jigged bone, do the purchase & when it arrives & is freed from its pack by the ( you guessed it) ladybug, I am now starting to believe just how good these things really are. I run off gleefully to show my wife, she says after looking it over, neatly made for such a small knife & they really know how to sharpen knives. My pride swells from owning something so fine.
Then I find this forum, again can’t believe how cool it is i.e no flames or nasties, and the world of Spydie opens . I now buy a C28PWH Dragonfly & 2 LORP3 Ladybug’s from Tom, one orange lady bug for my wife & one for me. We love them all & the dragon fly becomes my EDC, it is a boy & a big boy who just does not stop cutting, don’t let the white handle fool you.
2009 looks good for new dyad, H1 ladybug & so on & so on until something or someone stops me. Who would ever believe that these knives could bite your psyche like they do, until bitten
Thank you Kristie. :o O.

Welcome to the forum. The knives are great and the community is awesome, I know how you feel.
If you like the Stretch but thought it was heavy just wait. There is a ZDP-189 and VG-10 Stretch coming out in FRN. I'm guessing around 3.5oz. from what the other threads say.

Thank you all for the warm welcome spydie people. :)
My :spyder: bite has swelled up over night & now itches quite bad, it's also looking rather red. The pictures of J.D. Smith sprint run are what did it. Nice pointy blade, just the thing thats so good about the PE blade on the micro dyad. Full Flat Grind, the hook is in & the reel is screaming.
O. :D
