I'll tell you though it's horrible knives like those in the picture that really make you appreciate a really decent Spyderco blade ;) .
I think you’re right Joe, on all accounts! :)

Those knives are confiscated “street” knives due for disposal as I understand it. Don’t quote me because I don’t rightly know but I think it may be an English photo and I don’t think it would be too far different if the picture was taken in any country.

Here's few more. I think I'll round up my fixed blades and post some of them. 40 or 50 or 60. I just have to find where I last put them.

Funny, I have a dozen or more. They didn't do sheet for me. Maybe you need to re-evaluate what you think will change my world. :)

Or anyone's for that matter. :)

Thats the saddest thing, I ever heard :(
:D :D :D Nah, just kidding, Its all good. Its a respectable number of Spyderco knives. Further more, I suspect you actually use all or most of them :D :D :D

On a more serious note; for having 'only' four Spyderco knives, you managed to cover practically all bases with the different knife models, you chose to buy.
Okay, so maybe you could use a Delica or DF in order to have a smaller knife… ohh, and a PM2 because PM2! (....and thats how forum members end up with dozens of Spyderco knives :) ).

Ya know......I do have my eye on a Zome Delica. I should check that out.
Edit: I'm also interested in the all black Emerson Matriarch.

Speaking of confiscated , illegal knives it reminds me of when I used get together with a good friend of mine who was a Biker and I mean a Real McCoy Biker in a serious Motorcycle Club at the time. These guys would literally spend everything they made at their jobs to get the best Harley money could buy. But one time I went to one of their "pig roasts" and at the time I was buying, selling and trading a lot of blades. And all of these serious Bikers would come up to me to show off ( mostly cheap switchblades :rolleyes: ) and these poor souls really thought they had a really nice blade. Until we compared them to the Spyders and Benchmade blades I had on me at the time.

But most of these guys didn't even have a clue that most of their knives were truly junk :( Probably not even as good as the ones in your picture either. Yeah it truly amazes me how many people think that those kinds of knives are gems when in reality they are pot metal, landfill destined trash items. I guess that's why all these discount stores like Rip-Mart are all doing so well :( But it doesn't stop with knives because many items on those store shelves are truly disgusting with their lack of quality. And in the meantime the ever-so-ignorant American Consumer really think they get a great deal buying the same cheap junk over and over again :( It's really sad because it wasn't that way when I was growing up in the USA :(

QUALITY??? I seriously doubt if one out of 20 Americans even know the definition of the word :rolleyes:
