Newbie to Spyderco questions

[ajnova]

Hey guys!

First I'd like to say how deeply impressed I'm with the help and kindness you guys have shown me. Thank you!

And well yes... few more questions...

1. I have sent for a 2004 catalog (can't wait!!!!!!!!) However, could someone quickly tell me what this new Para Military is? Like the specs?

2. My name is Andrew.... I'm addicted to Spyderco knives. Even though I don't have one yet. hehe

Well I'm making a Spydie (is that the lingo?) wish list of the knives I know about (so obvious 2004 models not on the list yet)

1. Calypso Jr.

2. Delica (maybe Carbon Fiber if it's still around)

3. Endura

4. Military

5. Chinhook II

6. Native or Native III

7. Maybe, maybe not Carbon Fiber Police

8. Fun knife or two... like Dodo or something

9. A.T.R. At The Ready

Dang, that's a lot of knives!!!!

In your opinion's, if you had to shorten that list to so it only have unique to each knives, what would they be? Like you maybe could say Endura and Military is close enough, to only get one of the two... Delica and Calypso Jr. maybe close enough together to just get one etc.

Or if you could recommend others to add to the wish list.. please name away!


Little off topic here: any one have a pair of these http://x.oakley.com/catalog/display/col ... boot/black ? Look pretty awesome!

Thank you guys so much!

EDIT: BTW What are the chances of an assisted opening Spyderco? like SOG Flash etc.

the para is prob one of the most anticipated spydies in a long time. with the success spyderco has had with the full size military, people are chompin at the bit for the smaller one. i know ill be in line for one of these. the are three main reason this is gonna be one of the most perfect knives to come around; S30V steel is one of the top dog steels right now, G10 handles are always awesome and its sub 4 inches which makes it legal in _most_ places. good stuff all around, ill be getting one for me and one for my brother.
