My last 3 knife purchases.

[benben]

I actually had a list, a physical list with the models written down at work and the order in which I was going to buy them. I’m up to 25 Spydies, the last four here were the last four on my list.

Para 3 Cru-wear (haven’t carried it in months).
Yojimbo 2.
Lil’ Native Comp lock.
And lastly, a serrated Pacific Salt.

I’m in Myrtle Beach right now with a 5 day Fastpitch tournament, I packed 3 knives, the Yojimbo, the LN, and the Pacific Salt. I swear, I think I could make due with just these 3 knives from now on, they cover the entire spectrum for everything I need a knife for! They just work!

Nice knives!

Ever get impulses to be a minimalist and sell all your knives except the few you carry most often?

Glad you finished your list!

I probably could have stopped after my first 2 Spydies and been happy. S110V Para2 and a ZDP-189 Dfly. But... I would have missed out on the Yo2, P'kal, Para3, Delica, Wharndelica, hawkbill Dfly, Native, Shaman, Chief, Police4..... there's always something new to try. And you may find as I have, that you like some of the new things you try even more than the ones that came before them, or the 25 that came before them :D for me it's a journey not a destination.

Spydies are so good you'll start eyeballing your knives from other companies thinking "I could sell you and pick up some more Spyderco models"

I almost couldn't.... cause I literally have only one single (quality) folder left any more that's NOT a Spyderco... :o

I am convinced and know other brands make really good stuff too, but somehow I came to only be interested in Spydercos any more... (not a bad thing, makes life easier... :D )

Honestly though once you use a Spyderco to cut with you'll have a hard time finding comparable cutting performance in other brands.

My knives from other companies look great and that's why they're still around but aside from maybe my BM Bugout nothing gives me satisfaction in use like a classic Spydie.

I couldn't have said it better. I have basically parted ways with BM completely (mainly because of their political views). I still have a Grip, but other then a few Tops, Cudeman, and Utica fixed blades... all my knives are Spydies... all 50-60 of them lol.

Yes, I do. I could easily sell 15 of my Spydies, and the majority of them are discontinued.

I'm interested in some other brands. The problem is the 'other' brands I'm interested in are so far out of my price range it's ridiculous. In the under $300 range Spyderco is it for me. I'd probably spend $800 on one of those other knives only to realize I liked my spydies better anyways :D Some real good lookin knives in the $500-$1,200 range though.
