Spyderco Forums

Hello!
My name is Christian, but some of you might know me better as "Woz", for I use the same nick on EDCForums and German Messerforum.

I´m a knife-nut, but not really a collector, for I use all my knives and do never buy any shelf-queens - by now
I started with kitchen cutlery, but have a nice growing collection of folding knives too, and plan to add some fixed blades sometime :)

I own Fallknivens i really like, Benchmade, CRKT, SOG and many more, but never really liked Spyderco. One day Keno (Cheez) showed me a pink Delica - an I knew I had to buy it :p

Now I own the :spyder :D elica (and EDC it - pink is people friendly), a Tenacious, a Ladybug, a Native, some Byrds and just ordered a :spyder: Persian and a Byrd Raven today. :spyder: Sage and Poliwog are on my "to buy" List, and I really hope for new kitchen Spyders. You see, it´s getting worse...

I have to admit, it´s really hard to stay away from buying Spyderco when you are in touch with Cheez and Peter1960 - so I suppose I´m lost in Spyderville.

Thank you for the information you Guys provide here, You made me buy the Persian - more work for the Spydieguys will follow.

Well, let me be the first to welcome you. You have a sickness like the rest of us. See you around the forum.

p.s. You will love the Sage!

I say hello from your neighbourhood, Hungary. Welcome here.

Welcome to the forums and fasten your safety belt. And enjoy. [CENTER]"The force is strong with this one"[/CENTER]

Welcome Woz!

You've got some good ones there. Many more excellent Spyders to go :D

You'll love the Sage. It's a great knife and a very good value. Ti Walker version is coming this (2009) year.

You read there is a new Poliwog coming this year?? I can't wait for that one.

If you haven't tried one yet, I'd highly recommend trying a Dodo. My favorite is plain edge - PE - but opinions vary by preference, of course :D . It looks kinda odd but you won't believe the functionality. They are discontinued but still available here and there.

And the Stretch II, though a bit pricey, is an awesome slicer with state of the art materials.

Anyway, kick off your shoes and enjoy your stay.

Ken

Welcome Woz...enjoy your stay!

Psssst, not so loud ... others do hear you and I want to stay in contact with them in future without their fear I fix them to spydies :D

My dear friend from the green heart of Austria - a very warm welcome!

PS: Hope to meet you in Vienna on Sunday.

Welcome to the Forum Christian, Welcome to addiction.
Just relax and enjoy. It sound like there is no way out for your with Peter within driving distance.

It is not hard, it is "Mission Impossible". :)

Welcome aboard. Peter is a great mentor for all things Spyderco, so you live in good company.

Woz,
Welcome to our forums. We hope you enjoy your time with us! And don't worry about being lost in Spyderville, you have lots of company here.

Servus Woz,

It is almost impossible not to be affected by the Spyder venom with Peter so close by :D

Welcome to the forums, and hope your stay is long and fruitful :p

A warm welcome from cold Western New York, as you a friend turned me on to Spyderco's, and I have a :spyder: EDC, have fun here, very nice people here. Peace

Welcome Woz,

Beautiful country you live in!

Yes, Spyderco's are fascinating. To look at and to use.

JD

Hi Woz,

Welcome to the forums! Have fun here and be prepared to get more knives through customs than you've originally anticipated... you just can't help it :)

Akos

Welcome Woz, you are in the company of like minded folks.

Thank you for the warm welcome!

I´ll meet Peter and his Spyders on a knife-show tomorow - I can smell Spyders :cool:

Woz
