Spreding the Spyderco Fever!

41Mag · #1

Hi! everyone I am new here, but have been reading what you guys and gals have been saying for sometime and you all are a wealth of informantion. Just had a question for you all. How many people have you given the Spyderco Fever too? I personally have infected about 7......I usually get them hooked by gifting a used Spydie of mine and the rest just takes care of itself. P.S. please for give me if there has been a hundred threads posted on this already. :rolleyes:

Welcome to the forums! I have had the pleasure of getting my dad and my boss at work addicted to knives. All it takes is a few minutes playing with the para2 and they need to have one. and that is where the addiction starts

Zero, so far. More for me, I guess :D

I definitely just infected a friend recently. He got a ladybug and loved it but said he could never see himself carrying around a 3" plus blade. That was a month or two ago. He now has a centofante3 and is planning on a new one.

4 coworkers & 3 brother in laws. It's funny I work in a ER and my coworkers and I who are working on patient's are carrying better blades then the police & fire bringing them in.

Hey, 41mag! Welcome to the Forum!

I've infected my youngest son - he is 11 and in Boy Scouts. He's talked me out of five or six Spydies so far. He really likes the Centofante 3 for his hiking/camping knife. And he carries a Honeybee on his uniform belt clip for small tasks.

Sal, I'm working hard to foster your next generation of customers!

Hey tr4044
I really don't use a knife at work but that doesn't mean I don't edc a couple, I always have a para 2 & a se delica. Its better to have it and not need it then to need it and not have it.

Welcome to the forums....I've converted a few people here and there...

defenestrate · #15

I have turned on at least a good handful of folks to :spyder: knives and will surely convert more. Something like a Tenacious/Ambitious/Persistence/Resilience (right size depending on user) will convert almost anyone used to a pocketknife of pretty much any kind that you can buy at a big box store.

Very interesting name you picked i.e. "41mag" :cool: A really good hunting pal of mine has a S&W 41 Mag handgun>> it's one great caliber that few shooters know about. It truly has the best of both worlds of the .357mag and 44 mag calibers.

It's a hard one to find brass for but a good round to be sure.

Welcome to Spyderville 41mag and I hope while you're here you'll check out the wonderful worlds of Hawkbills and Spyderedges :cool:

I do hope you will enjoy your stay here and I also hope you become as hopelessly addicted to Spyders as the rest of us are :D

Ha ha! Good question. According to the Spyderco Forum's main page, there are currently 14,213 active members. (However, this number likely doesn't include all of the guests--not to mention the other prespective Spydie-converts that we meet on a daily basis

). My most recent "convert" may be my younger brother. He's looking at studying marine mechanics down in Florida after he graduates from HS. He asked me for my opinion regarding a good "rust resistent" pocket knife that he could use down in Florida. I showed him the Salt series in my 2012 catalog and also showed him a few of my own Salts. He was pretty impressed with the Salts and stated that he is very interested in getting one. His birthday is coming up in Feb., so I just may get him a Salt 1 or Pacific as a gift. Looks like H1 is just as infectious as VG-10, CPM-440V, S90V, and CTS-XHP. :D

Hey! JD thanks for the interest in my username! You are correct the 41 is a great cartridge, i use it in my lever action and my revolver for deer hunting. My brother got me hooked on it years ago and luckly he has alot of brass. :D My brother got me hooked on the 41 mag and i got him hooked on spyderco knives and he rarely guts a deer without his spydie. Ohh and by the way i would love to try a hawkbill with a spyderedge...! Just also would like to say thanks to all of you for the warm welcome and thanks Sal!
