Quite a long time between no.1 and no.2 …

Post by SpyderPal »

Hi there,

first of all I want to say a big THANK YOU to all Spyderco.com forum users!
Over the past months I have learned quite a lot from your postings and I still have to learn a lot about my one and only knife brand.

My 1st Spydie, a plain Delica with blue FRN handle and a molded clip, I have bought some 13 years ago – just because I found it cool for EDC purpose.
My 2nd Spydie I have got me this February - a CE Endura 4.
At this time the Delica from ’93 came into my mind and thanks god I was able to find it. The downside was, that I got terribly infected by the Spydie virus, on which I already spent quite a lot of money and no cure is in sight :D

I live in Vienna (the capital city of Austria), which is a beautiful and interesting spot, but regarding Spydies we are not pampered :( Buying from U.S. dealers is not always an option, as many dealers don’t ship outside, which is very frustrating.
Thanks to the bay, a big portion of luck and not to forget NGK (you are great, thank you!), I was able to get some nice pieces.

Please excuse the poor quality of my pictures – I had to make new ones just now, as the ones I had prepared were to big - I hope, they are viewable.

As I don’t want to kill more of your time, just let me wish that we all HAVE A GOOD TIME WITH SPYDERCO,

Manfred

Servus Manfred and welcome here!
Good to see another :spyder: fan from Austria :D

I'm close to Vienna in Tulln and own several Spydies. Maybe you are lucky to hear, that we have meetings on regular two month basis in Vienna. You can send me a PM if you are interested.

Welcome to the Spyderco Forum Manfred and Edrose. Enjoy your stay here.
Congrats on your fine knives Manfred, the blue integral clipped Delica is a rare gem and I see you have a "Q" as well... :)

Congrats on your E4! I recently got an E4 CE also...I still like the E3 body better, but the E4 is "okay" for me. ;)

God bless and enjoy! :cool:
