SpyderSpree?

[Ninja]

how many of you have gone on a "SpyderSpree"? Where you just went out and spend boatloads (or not) of money just buying anything spyderco? What did you buy and how long was your spree? Ill start. I just recently bought a delica wave (black), a sprint run Meerkat (burgundy), a black dodo, an orange dodo, a "Q" and a sharpmaker. I purchased these all in the span of about 2 days. Now its your turn :)

This past February 2012 I got a chunk of change and went bunkers and spent until it really hurt :D In one week I got both of the Original R knives SE & PE, An XHP Military, Brown Sprint Matriarch, A CF Zowada, An H-1 Catcherman, >>> I also got a Duckfoot, Goldenstone and 2 extra 701 Profile sets. I also bought 2 ZDP Delicas but both of them were sold to my boss and another friend I work with.

But it sure felt good while it lasted The **** with real estate, stocks & bonds and mutual funds. I'll do my investing in Spyders and other collectible knives any day of the week.

I got everything you see in my signature in a one month long spree. I can slow down now. :rolleyes:

I can't say, if I know what's good for me. :o

I have acquired my to date collection of 8 pieces over a period of three months :)

Nope. I go at it with a methodical hunter/pray approach. I quietly stalk my pray over long periods of time, study their movement and routines, and just when they're not expecting it i try to catch them on sale and then strike with the full force of my wallet.

A skill learned over time, not easily mastered by novices.

One spyder a week for about a year. And it was sure tiresome trying to catch the mail man before the wife did.

I follow evil d's pattern mostly. But the pingo was an impulse and i had to have one on the spot.

I'm trying not to order a Meerkat, a ti Chaparral, and a Techno right now.

I am a once every 2 to 3 months sort of person, I think it is important to keep my knife addiction payment less than my car payment.

Lol. I purchased an Orange Delica, Delica combo edge, Ladybug Salt H1 serrated and a plane edge ladybug salt H1 for my little brother. Al in 3 days. Ups! Just living together with my girlfriend for a week! Hope she won't find out. I think we al need our little secrets ;-)

Not counting "package deals" I think six was my highest one day total. There was a point when I felt I was slowing down because I was "only" buying one a week and a time I though I'd slowed way down because I was only buying one a month. Think I've bought about six so far this year, plus a couple non-Spydies.

Good strategy for production runs, but you have to be able to shift gears when the rare SB, K294 or... Spydie is sighted. Those must be shot on sight It requires even more skill to keep your wallet loaded at all times for such an eventuality.

I plead the fifth..
The better half knows I visit these forums on occasion, and I'd rather not give her more ammo to use against me.
I'll just say that I've spent more than I'm allowed a 'few' times.. :)

My biggest spree was my Para 1 D2, White FRN Delica, Sage 1 and Stretch CF. Birthday spending.

Nothing that big since. I work on a much more restricted purchase schedule due to the number of knives I currently own and my changing preferences. I will go out of my way to pick up sprints if I really want them, otherwise I am now about 6-8 knives a year (mixed between low and high priced spydies).

This will all change if I hit the lottery.

2 in 1 day but one of them was for my son. Other than that it just depends when I feel the need for another one. That usually equates to about 2-3 months unless a sprint decides to rear it's ugly head like the Jester did to me.

[StuntZombie]

The last spree I had, was a few months ago when I got a Rookie and Dragonfly in an Ebay lot for a great price. Before that, the last Spyderco I bought was a Para2 that I picked up last year.

I do not want my wife to know how much did I drop at NGK couple days ago
