Yes, we're getting down to the last few for now...

Next was the Matriarch 2 with black blade and Emerson opener. I wanted something a bit smaller than the Civilian. The Matriarch is great for that.

I've always wanted a T-Mag, and finally grabbed one. The "Rare Earth" on the tang always amused me, and the magnetic "lock" is also interesting and unique.

Next, and last for now :( was the 2015 Forum Native 5 Lightweight. The S90V steel is great, and the maroon FRN looks nice. The only thing I'd change is to have a larger flat spot under the clip to avoid any pocket shredding. Actually, I'd prefer a wire clip, like on the Manix 2 LW. But this is a fantastic forum knife, and a great way to wrap up this daily thread for now.

I'll continue to update this thread as new Spydies arrive. :D

Thanks for the thread, it has been a nice journey.

I agree, the clip on the FRN Native 5 could see some improvement.

Thanks for the journey! The clip on the native LW digs into my palm a little weird.

I think the answer is clear: Geno just needs to buy a knife a day from here on out. Maybe we take up a collection? I'd pay $10 to see this thread continue.

25,000 thread views. I bet this is one of the highest viewed threads that isn't a "what knife are you carrying?" type thread.

Congratulations Gino on a mighty collection and many thanks for sharing it with all of us!

I was thinking of doing a "What Gino doesn't have (amazingly)" thread to show shots of knives I have in my collection that I didn't see represented. :) Of course, I'd need to find a nice wooden trunk as a background! Cheers, Radioactive :)

Im pretty new here and this thread has been educational and awesome. It has certainly brought out the ol green eyed envy monster and inspired me to keep my humble collection growing. Thanks for all of the effort you have put into this.

Thank you for a super fun thread Gino. After checking in every couple of days along the way it is sad that this had to end. Fantastic collection.

This latest addition arrived a few days ago... the dark blue S110V Para 2.

This one is very nice, with a super sharp edge, smooth lock, and excellent all-around fit and finish. I like the color, and the translucency of the scales. It's different and interesting. A very nice addition to the Para 2 family. :D
