25th Anniversary Delica

[fellyjr]

Thanks to a fellow forumite, I was able to get this beauty. What a package! honey Jigged bone scales, hand forged Damascus bolsters (courtesy of Ed Schempp), mirror polished VG-10 and a luscious Rosewood box. I didn't have the daylight left to do it up right but for now this is what I have. I hope you like em'!

man, that's some tasty Steel there Felly, i'm drooling on my keyboard from all that sweet HONEY! :eek: :cool:

That is lovely!

Got a question, have you ever taken a picture of all your rare Spydies together?

Actually, you might need to also put in a warning about blinding as well if you do it.

Momma, what a beauty!
:) I still kick myself for not getting one, kept thinking I'd be able to snatch one up a little less pricey on the secondary market, yeah right. Talk about investment cutlery. I think that one has the chance to be the first $1,000 Spidey a few years down the road.

Congratulations Felly.
This is one of the dream knives. Beautiful, gorgeous, amazing.

[fellyjr]

That is lovely!

Got a question, have you ever taken a picture of all your rare Spydies together?

Actually, this summer I'm planning to do a complete group photo of all my eight legged creatures and I believe Peter said he would come over for a visit and help out with the shoot. :D

I have yet to find one major piece to add to the fold, and I'm hoping I find it before picture time! :eek:

BTW, thanks for all the compliments! This one is very special and made me work hard to get it.

I don't really go for Damascus or natural material handles........


but that is gorgeous.

I covet that knife. More like major drooling.

My congrats, Felly! Nowadays a Spydie not easy to catch!

Actually, this summer I'm planning to do a complete group photo of all my eight legged creatures and I believe Peter said he would come over for a visit and help out with the shoot. :D

If my memory is right I said that I will do a complete shot of my collection asap after yours Your idea is to dangerous, my wife would show me the door if I would tell her "I've a trip to US as Felly is waiting for me for a shoot" :eek:

@ SteelDragon: You are right, the C76 was limited to 500 pieces. And there is a interesting story, why the bolsters are copper colored and not black/white as the pieces Ed Shempp made. You want to know more? Searchfunction in this great forum is our friend :D

[Murdoc]

For those who are too lazy to use the search function... that's what I found:

I believe that's it what Peter is referring to... isn't it, Peter?

For those who didn't see the "original" Ed Schempp tiles yet, here you are:





Definitely NOT copper-coloured :-)

[SteelDragon]

Thanks for the reply Peter! I did search and find what Ed said about the copper bolsters verse the prototype that he sent them.. THX again!

[Axlis]

The third best looking spyderco, IMHO! (Blue Lum Chinese being the best, and Lum Tanto being the second)

Congrats on the find, and thanks for sharing with us!

*EDITED BECAUSE I FORGOT ABOUT THE LUM TANTO
