I’m new to the Spyderco Forums so I thought I’d take the time to introduce myself. I’m a knife nut with a modest collection—most of my pieces are Spydies! I’ve gone through that awkward phase of buying up all the latest/greatest ‘high value’ knives I could find and tend to be a little more selective in my purchasing habits nowadays. I’ve pruned my folder collection down significantly but my Spydies are here to stay. Here’s what I have to date:
Centofante 3
Delica 4
Delica 4 FFG
DiAlex Junior
Dragonfly 2
Endura 4 SE
Grasshopper
Native 1
Para-Military 2 DLC
Persistence
R Nishijin
Rock Lobster
Sage 1
Terzuola SLIPIT
My newest is the R C67GFP Sprint. Beautiful folder! I consider the R to be like a bigger, classier Delica (one of my all-time fav EDC knives, by the way.) Although the R has been out for a while, there doesn’t seem to be a lot of love for it. With so many great new Spydies out there, I feel the R has been seriously under-rated/overlooked. The scales are gorgeous: very aesthetically pleasing, my pockets are grateful for the super-smooth texture, and my hands are satisfied with the great ergos and jimped choil/thumb-ramp. The build quality really makes me want a Caly 3 CF in ZDP-189... :cool:
Any other new-found love for the Spyderco R Nishijin out there? From what I've read, most are destined to be collection pieces rather than users. Not mine!
Anyway, I look forward to being a part of the community. Thanks for reading! :)
