After a long break from owning Spyderco's, I have started my collection once again. I am looking forward to the addiction. :)

I picked up a blue carbon fiber Domino, a Vallotton and a Tuff in the last few weeks. Next will be several different PM2's, Manix, Native 5 and a Navaja.

Welcome! How do you like the Domino? I bought a BBS Blue G-10 204p Domino a couple months ago, and it's amazing. :D I've been thinking of picking up a blue CF Domino, or maybe even a dice. :)

I love the Domino, it is the fastest flipper I have handled. I plan on getting a Bento Box version if I can and a Dice as well. :)

Welcome!

Love that Blue CF Domino...my good deed for the year was giving one up to another guy in line at the Factory Seconds sale. (Truth be told, it was more because I feared my wife's wrath if I brought home a whole basket full of stuff like I wanted to do. :) )

GREAT PICTURES!

Great knives as well but the picture quality jumped out.

About what to get next, my two favorite recent purchases is the Native 5 fluted titanium and the worker sprint that is available now. The Native's features scream at you. Ti handle that is beautiful IMO. It's a VERY solid folder. Size and ergonomics are perfect for me. Good blade steel (S35VN). The Worker OTOH, is a mystery to me. It has almost immediately become one of my favorite EDC knives but I can't put my finger on why. I think about the only thing that is a bit different is the very pointy tip. I do love that in an EDC knife. The other features (blade steel, handle material, ergos, etc.) are good but what I'd call about average for Spyderco knives. The appearance doesn't scream beauty. You take any individual feature of the Worker sprint that is available right now and none of them are what I'd call super. Why then has it become possibly my favorite EDC folder. Not necessarily the ONE I'd keep if I had to sell all the others. But with several to pick up on any given day the Worker ends up in my pocket most as the primary EDC knife in my front right pocket. Another couple end up in pockets also but the worker holds the prime spot. The most amazing thing to me about the knife is why I like it so much. Just one of those conundrums I guess. :) Two things that are cool about the knife is it's the first Spyderco model and this one is a sprint.

Jack
