I think it would be interesting to see what knife/knives from Spyderco they would buy if they had $400. Just your personal opinion and nothing else.
I would get a Reinhold Rhino and a Mamba. I think they'd compliment each other nicely.
It can be as many or as few knives as you want so tell me what you think!

I'd probably buy another K2 for a back up and a szabohawk.

Re: If you had $400, what would you buy?
I'd hunt around for a couple more VG-10 FRN Stretches, then spend the rest on custom wood scales for them. :)

Re: If you had $400, what would you buy?
I just bought two K2s for $150 each and an original Bradley Folder BNIB for $110. So I guess I "HAD" $410 and that is what I spent it on.

Re: If you had $400, what would you buy?
Hmmm. I would probably just go for a WolfSpyder at this time...
And then spend the rest on some flat stock CPM-20CV and carbon fiber. :o

Just bought a KW CF M4 PM2 and a KW 204p Military so there it is.
In the future, the Advocate and Sage5.

Re: If you had $400, what would you buy?
I just bought a Nirvana so that's out. Considering the stock at my local store rather than just "the list", I'd get:
Endura HAP40
PM2 S110V
Gayle Bradley 2
If I could talk them down a little on price, I'd probably swap the GB for a Sage 2. If the Sage 5 were out and comparably priced, I'd get one of those. If they had a Caly3 or a HAP40 Stretch, those would be in the mix.
Alternate list:
Endura HAP40
Slysz Bowie

Re: If you had $400, what would you buy?
If K2 had steel lock bar insert, that. Otherwise, a ti Millie of some flavor.
Re: If you had $400, what would you buy?
If you are planning to make Rhinos with CPM-20CV and CF, I am in. Still prefer polished dark green g10, but CF with Dodo finish will be fine :)SpyderNut wrote: And then spend the rest on some flat stock CPM-20CV and carbon fiber. :o

Pre-order a couple Chinook 4s when they become available.

Re: If you had $400, what would you buy?
Ok, the rules aren't very specific so I am going to play this as if I didn't own any Spdercos and only had $400 to spend.
I would buy:
-Paramilitary 2 $120
-Delica $65
-frn Stretch (off the exchange) $90
-Pacific Salt se $75
-Sharpmaker $60
I think I might have gone over by a few bucks but it's close.

Re: If you had $400, what would you buy?
I'm sure you could find someone who could do this mod for you. Honestly it's a great knife. With $400 you could buy the knife and have 250 left for the mod.Flipping Addict wrote:If K2 had steel lock bar insert, that. Otherwise, a ti Millie of some flavor.

Re: If you had $400, what would you buy?
You gotta watch the exchange on BF. For some inexplicable reason the GB1s either sell for cheap or move slow on there. I have seen quite a few go for around $110 - $120 on both ebay and the exchange.

Re: If you had $400, what would you buy?
HAD $430....
Spent it on:
2015 Forum Native
Caly 3.5 in Super Blue
I know I WAY overpaid on the Caly, but I've been searching for one for around a year now, so I bit on it. The Caly 3 in Super Blue feels amazing in my hand. Can't wait to see the 3.5.
If however, I wasn't amazingly behind the times and could catch some releases when they were new, anything with carbon fiber scales or S90V - who knows, maybe I could get two for around $400?
Love these if you could/had/would type threads.

Just realized I have to cross one of the grails in my sig out! :)

Currently looking for...Stretch C90PBLE......PM2 C81CFPE2...Custom Dragonfly Scales...and my holy grail, for now-C10PSGRE-Lost it at a shoot when I had to change out a flat tire. Haven't found a replacement.
Shoot straight, stay sharp!

Re: If you had $400, what would you buy?
Assuming starting from nothing and with ballpark prices..
A large folder: Military S110V $175
A medium folder: PM2 S110V $150
Easy to carry EDC: Delica VG10 $65
Really there's no need for the higher end steels in the Mil and PM2 but what fun is that?

Re: If you had $400, what would you buy?
+1 I got my lightly used (like new) GB1 off the Exchange for $120. My like new but nicely modified GB1 was $105 from a Blade Forums member via Face Book. There are some good deals to be had out there if you keep your eyes peeled.bearfacedkiller wrote:You gotta watch the exchange on BF.

As far as "if I had $400". I've already spent that a few times over in recent months so I'm about spent out for now. But if I was going to spend another $400 I'd probably add a little to it and buy a Nirvana.
Of all the things I've lost I miss my mind the most!
