Spyderco Forums

I preorder last knight for an M390 carbonfiber Military. I have a while to wait though.

My last purchase was a Dragonfly Tattoo for someone's birthday present. I haven't even gotten to handle it! (It was really tough, but I didn't want to get my fingerprints on it since it's not my own. )

My last purchase for myself was a Pacific Blue Kopa. I've always wanted a Kopa since they first came out, but didn't really have the funds for it until recently, so I snagged it. :D

I'm getting really close to picking up one of three:
1. Dragonfly G10
2. Sage 1
3. Chaparral
So we'll see what happens next.

Got my new Black Para 2 this past week.

Native 5 is in the mail.

... gotta slow this train down ... :rolleyes:

got a digi para 2, but wasn't a huge fan of the acu, so I died it brown. It is now a very nice dark brown digital

Just got a Vallotton. It is Spyderco sweetness!

Got two,

Catcherman, love the toxic green, never owned the original and my Endura needed a friend.

Warrior, this knife just called to me, can't explain it, but I will assume that some of you have had that same feeling .

UKPK G-10 in safety orange. I needed a Spyderco that was legal to carry around here. And I dig bright and fun colors. And the G-10 UKPK is discontinued so I grabbed one while I still could. Couldn't resist the cute little Squeak either but this one is still in the hands of the Postal Gods :-)

:spyder: :spyder: :D :D

Spyderco Para-Military2 Black Blade ~ C81GBK2
STATE OF THE ART

Spyderco Chicago ~ C130G
G-10 HANDLE

Spyderco Squeak ~ C154BK

Spyderco Cat ~ C129G

Even though I had all of these already, I am going to rotate these into My EDC!
Isn't Life Grand,

Congrats to all that have purchased new :spyder: 's. My last purchase was the smallfly and trainer.

Native 5, love it.

Where are you that you have to worry about legality? I'm lucky. I live in Florida and "by the book" folders over 3" is illegal but I called the local Sheriff's dept when I started buying knives and the cops didn't know any of the laws. I live in a small town where there is lots of hunting and fishing and knives. They even thought it was funny that someone would call to ask. :)

My most recent editions (last two weeks or so) have been a G10 Endura, had to snag that one lol, a new UKPK, and this past week I picked up a Military DLC in camo. If funds permitted, I'd have others in the mail right now. So many I need to pick up lol.

Maybe this helps answer your question...

bought a lum chinese green with black blade- :)

Thanks Jabba. Seems like there are several countries that have very strict knife laws. But, even in the USA laws vary from one place to another.

I picked up a Chaparral. It is small enough so you never know it is there in your pocket, but large enough to do anything I normally need to do in the city.
It has displaced my other knives for daily carry. At times, I want smaller, but I usually don't need or want anything larger.

Just bought a Titanium Lum two weeks ago.
It is one of the 450 first production.
Although I bought it as NIB, someone had dropped the knife out of the box and nicked the blade spine. Tiny, but can't really call it new after that.
I bought it for $65.00 shipped from Dealer on another knife forum.
Because of the damage, I don't consider it collectible and now carry it.
I like it so much that I bought a Sprint Run Green Almite version of the same knife last week. Tracking # says I get it Monday, Sep 19th. It's going into the safe after I check to see if it's actually NIB.
If it is, I think I got lucky on it as I paid $68.00 + $4.96 shipping. We'll see.
Three weeks ago, I got a NIB Dragonfly Tattoo. Opened it a couple of times to make sure it was not damaged and it's in the safe. I also got a NIB Police in SS, PE the same day I got the Dragonfly. And, I just got a used Police G-10 PE yesterday. Waiting for it, too.
I have over 50 Spydercos now, and still need to get some more. They don't appreciate and are good investments, plus, I get to look and feel them. Best of both worlds.

Congratulations on the Chaparral. The next knife I buy will be a Chaparral. Normally I have at least two that I will pick from when I decide to buy a knife. For the first time I know well ahead of time which one will be next. Also, for the first time I now own a knife that I would keep if I only could keep one without even thinking about it. Sage1 (3 weeks old). They are very similar (except for the lock). It's only taken me 6 years and maybe 25 knives to now have the one (or will be two?) I started looking for "in the beginning". I wonder if the Chaparral will replace the Sage as the "one to keep" when I get it. :confused:

Do you know what to do right after a birthday? Start working on the Christmas gift list. lol

Jack

Thanks.I've got that Christmas list going already.

SS Kiwi: b/c my other "HUGE" knives like my big bad Delica were "banned" from work. But I'm planning on a Dragonfly next. I like the Kiwi for what it is... just not my favorite.

Saber Grind Endura PE: Wanted a knife that would take a beating and not make me feel guilty while also being a great EDC. Love my Delica and VG10 so it was the logical choice. Absolutely love this knife! Hasn't left my pocket since I got it... my beloved Manix2 is getting jealous I think :rolleyes:
