Should be receiving my first ever Spyderco/high quality in general knife sometime tomorrow! I did quite a bit of research and landed on the black G10 Manix 2 with a plain edge S30V blade. I was tempted by the "blurple", but thought I might already have my hands full learning how to sharpen on this one and decided to work up to the S110V.

Ha! I bought a vg10 saber grind delica, didn't like it, gave it away.
Then I bough a super blue delica, didn't like it and sold it.
Then I bought another super blue delica a few months later and fell in love with it :D
Ya, I sold the first one I bought because I just wasn't into it. Everyone singing praises convinced me that I missed something so I bought another, only to sell it shortly after.
In a couple days I'm flying out with a carry-on only (a week without a knife, :eek: )... I was shipping an Amazon order to the destination anyway, so I threw in a Delica. Figured by the end of the week I should know for sure where we stand.
Just ordered a positron. It took a while to decide on it as I wasnt really looking for another knife with a S30V blade but I like Brad Southards designs and the carbon fiber handle. Looking forward to this bad boy arriving.
The Centofante C25 I'd given up as lost in the mail.....
3 days from the US to London- 2 months to get up the M40 to my front door, with a £19 demand for Money With Menaces from HMRC.
Warhammer 40000 is- basically- Lord Of The Rings on a cocktail of every drug known to man and genuine lunar dust, stuck in a blender with Alien, Mechwarrior, Dune, Starship Troopers, Fahrenheit 451 and Star Wars, bathed in blood, turned up to eleventy billion, set on fire, and catapulted off into space screaming "WAAAGH!" and waving a chainsaw sword- without the happy ending.
And to celebrate the Lost Centofante being found.....Just scored a lightly used left-handed Police model. For £70. :D

I've just bought a Chaparral in Titanium with the diamond shapes on the scales, can't wait to see what it looks like in the flesh. Probably wont get it for a few weeks though as it's coming from the states.
