How many Spydies do you own?

ChrisM · #41

I've owned around 40 total but not at the same time. I trade a lot but my keepers are my Military, Para1's, Tasmans, waved Delica, and Gayle Bradley. About 10.

My son has at least 15. All the bugs, 3 Dragonflies, almost all colors of the Ladybugs, Para1 camo, orange UKPK, Persistence, some others I handed down to his collection.

I started with a Para 1, a salt 1, and a ZDP delica, since then I've given the Para 1 to my grandfather, (let him pick from 4 or 5 different Spydercos and Benchmades) and am selling the Delica (it got a lot of good use, but I've found I much prefer FFG or a high hollow grind and g10 or CF to FRN) I've also found I prefer 3.5-4" blades to 3" blades. I'm also always after new steels in the models I like (mainly Military,Para2, and Manix 2). The ones I currently have are listed below about 19, but one will soon be sold and I have 2 more Para 2's preordered, I also plan on getting a Yojimbo 2, Phil Wilson, Southard flipper, and possible a Sage 4 and Tuff.

I guess it depends upon whether the USPS, UPS, or FedEx is running?

I am quite certain my mail carrier knows I have a baaaaaaad habit. :D :spyder: My neighbor doesn't call me Mr. redundant for nothin :)

I have exactly 2. An original Catcherman and my Gayle Bradley. 1 to clean fish, and the other for eeeeeevrything else! :p

I'm at the beginning of my addiction :D My dad purchased quite a few back in the day to start my fascination. Surprisingly didn't get my own till a few months ago.

I currently have 2, a SE Ladybug3 on my keychain that started it all. I immediately knew that was not going to satisfy my lust for Spyderco knives and almost immediately started looking for my second, for which I got the C11BBK (all black Delica4).

I'm already eyeing down the Paramilitary 2.... ugh, this is going to get expensive!

Kyle,
If you follow the link in my sig line you will see many of the Qs I have as well as good descriptions. It's a couple years old but only a few are missing from the pics. As for SKUs most are C35SBK. The box would normally have the name of the design. I have not had the time to work on the wiki either. If there is more information I can provide let me know. I do have a higher resolution picture of all my Qs except the MRI if you want pics.

I started out with alot more than I have now, then I made a self rule that I will only buy a knife that I will EDC. Thats why I only have a few, but love everyone!

I currently have 3 Military models in different configurations and a fully serrated Endura on the way. I also have the old (plastic clip) Endura that I gave my dad years ago, and I got back from his knives after he passed.

I have given a serrated Endura to my wife and one to each of my sons, (and will probably save the latest one for my daughter when she is old enough). My wife also has the Dragonfly I gave her back in 1996.

So my personal collection is 3 Military models, an old Endura, and a new Endura on the way not counting the ones I have given to family members.

Well, actually, two, when my ladybug shows up. It's well on the way. I've also got two Kershaws, two Cases, four Bucks, two Gerbers, and two Gerber multi-tools and a Schrade Sharp finger. I have several others packed away including two Damascus blades. I've only just started collecting Spydercos. There will be more.

My Spydies own me, it's the addiction man, it's the addiction!

OldSarSwmr · #52

I have 110, mostly folders and only 6 fixed blades now. The most repeated model I have is the Delica.

I have great intentions of building a database of all of mine, just never get around to it :) .

I bought my first Spyderco (an Economy) in the 1980's, and for more than a couple of decades only had 2 spydies plus some other knives. Joined this forum around 2009, and now I have around 70-80 spydies and preordered a bunch more -- hanging around this forum makes it seem *normal* for a guy to own multiple models of multiple knives :D .

Plus I have quite a number of ESEE's, and a few semi-customs, probably 120-150 total knives. Nowhere near as many as some people on here!

Prospero · #55

Only three right now (Para2 20CP, Delica ZDP, Endura G10) with five on pre-order. I guess if you can list everything you own by name then you don't have enough yet! :D

I created a simple database for my knives with MS Access a while back. I started it just to record the edge angles for each knife. Then it has grown to include other stuff like blade length, steel, handle material and and miscellaneous notes pertinant to each knife. One thing I kept track of for 3 knives was the maintenance that had to be done on them because they kept breaking. I had to send all three in for repair and wanted to keep track of dates and stuff like that. Those records came in VERY handy later on. I derived it from the database that I use for all my tools. I have 2 knives now and this makes it easy to keep track of them. haha :)

Just like girls. If you can remember all the names without getting confused you need more. :D

...add a limited run Military with CF handles and M390 steel, and my other serratted black Endura(that I will probably give to my nephew and pick out a pink spydie for my daughter instead) has shipped and is estimated to be here on the 13th.
