What will be your first Spydie purchase of 2008?

What will be your first purchase of 2008?

I just made my first Spyderco purchase of the year. I did it right now at 1:23am.

I bought a SS Dragonfly SE that I will carry at work and also use as a money clip. ;)
It of course is VG-10 and has the Spyder bug on the blade too.

My first Spyderco of the year, was actually purchased last year, but will arrive in the new year. It is the CE Pink Endura.

Not sure what the next one might be... Maybe a SE Military... but more than likely, it will be the first CC knife to come out this year.

I will order one or two FB01 Bill Morans immediately, I don't like the new lanyard hole in the blade.

Not counting the 2 that were enroute here before the year began but haven't made it yet the Mule team 52100 carbon chrome alloy ball bearing/bearing race steel.

It's an excellent steel, and a true classic known for it's good grain structure that gives it good wear resistance and toughness. A heck of a way to kick off the mule team series. The design looks to be very ergonomic too. I can't wait. Joe

I believe that my first purchase of 2008, will be a black PE Military.

Mini-Manix, then Lava and Caly3 (VG10). Maybe all in one purchase. Plain edges, of course.

Welcome and Happy New Year Louis! Great choice in knife.

For me, thanks to fellow forumite aj1985, I was able to score a NIB blue Yojimbo for under $100.00! :eek: :D THANKS FOR THE HEAD'S UP AJ!!!Technically the order was placed last night, but, close enough for me. :) Not sure what my first official :spyder: purchase will be...maybe a BG42 Millie or a black bladed Millie.
I prefer to ask for forgiveness rather than permission.
I LOVE MY MILLIES

I'm hoping it will be a pair of Mules. I'll have to get the G-10 Endura and Delica, the two new UKPKs when they become available.

I'll probably drive some retailers crazy checking FRN Dragonflies for VG-10 blade stamps as well. :o

Really depends on what comes out first. But probably the mule.

After that I have no idea.

I'm planing on driving the SFO crazy doing that. I bet Jim and Lynnette hate me. I always come in for a long time and ask questions about things they hvent been released yet. :)
