I'm 39 now ( time flies when you're having fun :rolleyes: :D ).

I got my first real knife form my grandpa when I was about 10 years old. It was a Herder slipjoint.

I've carried only a SAK for years until last year November when I discovered Spyderco. Haven't carried anything else since. I have about 35 Spydies now.

I'm 38. I've had various SAKs, pocket knives and multitools over my lifetime, but I only recently decided to look into "serious" knives. It didn't take long to realize that Spyderco epitomizes what I look for in a company and its products: quality, innovation, value for money, and integrity.

I'm an admirer of Spyderco's designs. Using them is like immersing yourself in music or studying a painting in a museum. I buy some "fine" art but my preference is for usable art.

55. I started carrying a knife while I was in the Army, back in the day, way back. I've carried literally hundreds of knives over the years until the mid '90s when I "discovered" Spyderco. Now I only carry Spydies, at least one, every day. :D

38.
Been carrying a knife off and on since I was around nine years old. Mostly SAK’s or Leatherman’s. Four years ago I bought a one-hander to carry every day and discovered how much I’d use it. The quest began and I started Spyderco ten months ago. Don’t know how many I have now. The quest for the perfect one seems endless.
First they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not stand up, because I was not a Trade Unionist.

Into knives from about the age of 7 or 8

Used to carry a SAK til 1995 than I bought my first serious knives. They were a couple of SOG winders (I and II). The little SOG winder was my EDC for almost 10 years... :eek: ..... til I discovered Spyderco this year :)

Now the majority of my knives are :spyder: s

I am 2 weeks short of 44.
Always liked knives but I know now that I never had a real knife apart from a SAK until about 2 years ago. I believe I made up for it since.

63 next month. Can't remember when I didn't carry a knife. We all had a pocket knife in grade school, and you could take them to grade school in those days.

Saw my first Spydie in a magazine advertisement in the late 80's. It was a Co-Pilot and I carried it on the job IWB weak side until I retired. Still have it - along with 25 others. :D

My body is 40 years old, but i never grew past the age of 14.
Probably the reason why i now have about 30 Spyderco models, about 40 models of other brands, i like to tinker with them, sharpen them, and in general like to talk about them.
I also make a living selling knives on the internet, for me this is like getting paid for my hobby, it doesn't get any better than this, :D
Only problem with this job is that so many fine knives go through my hands and i keep finding it difficult to let them all go......
I also like this forum very much, it seems the only place where people like me can vent their thoughts without being seen as the village idiot. :p
