Spyderco Forums

Hey guys.. I thought I had already introduced myself, but it appears I am mistaken. For that, I apologize.

Anywho.. I was bitten a ways back, but I unfortunately had my collection stolen from storage when I moved... with that, my "obsession" kind of just faded away. Did a little ebay search one day, bought myself a Tim Zowada Sprint, and my spydie sense was back and stronger than ever.

I am hoping to rebuild my collection over time. Enlisted late, but am in the DEP with the USMC. Pretty excited about the direction I'm headed. I hope to become much more active on this forum, make some friends, learn, receive and possibly give advice. I'm a little hesitant at times because I don't know a whole lot. I feel I've been out of it for so long that I've got a lot of catching up to do.

Knives have always fascinated me.. in particular, Spyderco. Love the Walker, love the Worker, Love the Zowada.. to name a few. My first ever Spyderco was a C56PS Tim Zowada. Believe it or not, stolen by my "friend". Rotten luck, but hey.. that's alright. I'm on the hunt..


So I guess that was my attempt at an intro. Looking forward to my stay!! :spyder: :D :spyder:

Just a friendly little bump back up. This got caught in the vBulletin less-than-perfect spam filter.

Welcome to the forum now, good luck rebiulding your collection. :)

Welcome Waffle :) Looking forward to your posts :)

Welcome! I'm new here too :)

From one new guy to another, welcome!

Welcome to the Forum, Waffle.

I am sorry to hear about your loss with your original collection. I can certainly empathize with you. (For what it's worth, I once had a SpyderCard and $200 dollars come up missing after my "best friend" came over for a visit many years ago. We parted ways soon after I discovered that he was the culprit).

On the bright side, it sounds like you are well on your way building a new collection.

Best of luck,

~S.

Welcome Waffle. Hope you enjoy your stay here.

Welcome!

The Tim Zowada is one of my favorite Spydercos.

haha, I was wondering about the missing introduction. Thank you, TazKristi - for the bump... and thanks everyone for the warm welcome.

Pinetreebbs, The Zowada is such an awesome knife.. I can't get enough of it. Nice choice!!!

Welcome Aboard Waffle!

Welcome! Best wishes in replacing your items that were stolen!

Thanks again! I've noticed a lot of members located in Colorado. How I envy you. If I were in Colorado I'd probably hang out at Spyderco all day(I wish I could say I'm kidding)! :spyder: :D :spyder: mmmm Spydercoooo

Nice to have you here, Waffle. I hope you can recover your knife or at least find a replacement for a decent price. Your service to our country is appreciated. I'm sure you'll fit in here just fine. :)

I may be a little slow in doing so, but I plan on creating an avatar and perhaps getting some pictures up. I am on a mobile device most of the time, so it gets a little old trying to navigate through the forums that way. Here and there I'll have a desktop available to me.. hopefully I can get up and going soon. :)

Glad to have you here Waffle! I sometimes feel the same way about wishing I lived in Colorado, near Spyderco. But I think Sal would laugh every time I walked in and out the door on paydays to make my deposit.

You and I(and I'm sure many others here) bleed spyder blood.. I just made that up. Cool huh? Actually, once I get to a better pay scale, I'm going to join me that there Spyderco Collector's Club(It still exists, right?).

Hi and welcome to the forum Waffle. Hope you enjoy your stay here and just ask if you have questions. A lot of friendly and helpful folk around here.

Welcome Waffle, no need to feel hesitant about posting. Knowledge is in the eye of the beholder. It's not all about knowledge anyway, or I wouldn't have anything to say. Sorry to hear about your "lost" knives and thanks for your service.
