1 week and my 3 new Spyderco Knives.

#1

Post by dwayne1341 »

Hey, just thought I'd share some info.
In the past week alone I went from having 0 Spyderco knives to 3 & looking for # 4. :spyder:
1.. I got a Yojimbo 2 in the mail a week ago and am now waiting on a black pocket clip.
2. I traded a guy at work for a like new in box C84 Karambit.
3. I picked up a Spydercard at a small local store.

Right now I'm thinking of either the Native 5 or the Dialax Junior.
What do you guys think?

I think the disease is taking hold and after purchasing the Native 5 you're a goner!
You can't display a toad in a fine restaurant like this! Why, the good folks here would go right off the feed!

You got some interesting Spydercos to start your collection. Either the Native 5 or Junior would make a great choice.

Para 2 would be my suggestion. :)

But between the 2 you mentioned, the Native 5.

The Native 5 is the fifth iteration of a Spyderco classic and you must have at least one Native to make your collection legitimate :)

Extremely interesting and slightly unorthodox first choices! As for recommendations, the Native 5 looks great, but I don't own one. For similar money you could get the Paramilitary 2 or the Sage 1. I do own those and they are awesome. It all depends on what you want out of a knife. The Delica/Enduras are also top selling, iconic Spydercos so you might want to check them out.

Mud Shrimp Moe, as for my interesting and slightly unorthodox first choices:
Something about the Yo2 just spoke to me the first time I saw pictures of it.
The C84 Karambit, I just got in an incredible trade.
As for the Spydercard sometimes I go into "non permisive enviroments", I have a giant / large wallet well just leave it at that.
If I can't have a pistol with me, I insist that at least a knife be there.
As for my next choice the Native 5 looks like the front runner.
However, for nearly the same $ as the super nice Native 5 I could just about go with a Endura wave with an Endcura wave trainer. The darn Delica wave and it's trainer would be cool but the Delica is just too darn small & thin in the grip area for my hand.

Welcome to the addiction and enjoy your stay here, this is a really wonderful forum!

Native 5 is my suggestion. Plus a Para 2.
Oh yes, and a Sharpmaker, you will need it unless you have other sharpeners already. :)

Three knives in a week and looking for #4? I sure hope Spyderco doesn't go out of business due to lack of sales. :D Maybe they could boost sales by giving away t-shirts or something. :D

I was averaging about three a week for a while there. I'm slowly coming back to reality. My Yojimbo 2 is arriving today, however (already delivered ... waiting for apt office to open) and my Endura 4 Foliage Green will be here Mon or Tues. Then I need to go on a New Spydie Fast for a little while.

Before this, the only famous bug bite I knew was that of Peter Parker getting bit.

I know how you feel. Got a knife to give away as a gift, ended up keeping it. Now, awaiting an Endura4, GrassHopper (both in SS) and my first Para2.

The Native5 is on my wish list too. But that will be for the collection.

Kard
:spyder: Centofante3 (C66PBK3), ParaMilitary2 (C81GPCMO), Endura4 (C10P), GrassHopper (C138P), Military (C36GPCMO), Perrin PPT (C135GP), Squeak (C154PBK), Dragonfly 2 Salt (C28PYL2), Military M390 CF (C36CFM390P), R (C67GF), ParaMilitary2 CTS-XHP (C81GPOR2), Tuff (C151GTIP), Ladybug & Perrin Street Bowie (FB04PBB)being the newest.

Native 5. Great steel,great pivot,made in a great country-USA. It looks like a thicker more durable knife than previous Natives. Looks like the older Mini Manix.Reminds me of my new Manix 2 in blade thickness and with the GREAT steel and full flat grind I believe I will pass yet again on the Para 2. I've been contemplating a Para 2 and will get one....

THIS!

I't will be at least after Christmas before I get another one.
Native 5 is the frontrunner.

If you get the Para 2, you might as well throw your wallet away. If you haven't memorized your credit/debit card number you soon will. ;)
