French collection

[Zendemic]

Wow! Vous avais une collection vraiment surprennent! Votre photos s'ont aussi superbe!

Salut as un fana français de Spyderco as l'autre!

[Gofannon]

Thanks Senate and Cardoso for your message! I think that a lot of people read the forum without posting a lot or without posting during a certain period like you and me!
Thanks ClusterFlux for your effort in French!

it looks like that maglite had a lot of pocket time so maybe you encountered the same problem...
when i put my maglite in my pocket i automatically turns on no matter what pocket i put it in so can you tell me how you carry your maglite or what's your fix to that....
cause i think the maglite is one of the best lights

Yeah I had the same problem! Thats why I no longer use my maglite in my pocket, it's in my car now and the scratches dues to falls and the fact that I use as a kubotan during my training. :D

Now, I use this light:

Photos of my FB04, my PPT and my dragonfly coming soon :D

[Gofannon]

My latest acquisition, a FB04.
Now, I have all the Fred Perrin/Spyderco collaborations:

[Gofannon]

And an old police model, plain edge: (I would have preferred in serrated but I found this one at good price)

[Gofannon]

An other old one, a Dragonfly:


With a really good EDC organizer, the maxpedition pocket organizer. :)

Nice collection and very good pictures. Thank you for sharing.
Still I didn't spot any bolstered Spydie, you do not like them?

Thank you bh49 :)

I don't understand what you mean with bolstered? Is it the knife in its sheath?
If it's this, I thing that the Spyderco kydex sheath are not good, they are too large and too thick. Moreover, I found the Tek lock system really bad, it's too cumbersome.

I've made a new kydex sheath for my FB04 and my mule, I can take pictures of them if you want.

[Gofannon]

A bad picture of my sanded dragonfly:


It's very difficult to take good pics with a mirror :mad: but I thing that it's could be nice.

[Gofannon]

For bh49, a quick picture of my knife:



As you can see, it's the original sheath for the street beat and it's bigger than the fb04 one. But as the lenght of the street beat is not too important, I have no problem but for the long blade of the fb04, my handmade kydex sheath is better. (for my utilisation of course)

[bh49]

Thank you bh49 :)

I don't understand what you mean with bolstered?

Sorry. I wasn't clear. I meant the knives, which have bolsters like: Kopas, Kiwis, original Persians, Kris, Vieles, Micro-Dyads.
Sorry again. Will try to be more clear in the future.

Ok! Now I understand what is a bolstered knife! It's my fault, my english is not great, even less about technical terms.

Now, I can answer your question:

I like them but I haven't had the opportunity to see and buy one. :D

bolsters=mitres :)

All, which I mentioned above are discontinued. I think you will be able to find pictures on this forum or even google them. Some latest Kopas, Red Persian and Micro-Dyads will be easier to find at decent price than original Persins, Kris and earlier Kopas and Kiwis. Couple new knives with bolsters coming out later this year.
Good luck in your search.
Thank you pictures again and please, keep them coming :)

Spyderco Captain! I like this knife... :D

[Gofannon]

And a kiwi stag:


A gift from Spyderco at the Amsterdam meeting where I met Sal, Eric et the Spyderco staff.

[SmoothOne25]

kind of looks like you placed that kiwi stag on a gorillas skull? :rolleyes:

[Gofannon]

It's not his skull, it's on his stomach skin :D :D

The hardest part was taking the picture without waking he.

BALLS

-i would have just asked his permission...

[Gofannon]

Just arrived from the USA, over the Atlantic: military titanium.
I really love this knife!
