Daniel's Spyderco Hoard

[ozspyder]

Black Beauties:
C41 - Native I - black bladed versions in PE and CE

You will note from this picture as well as the group photo of my Natives on Page 1 that All the C41 (Native I & II) PE blades do not have the Spyder Bug logo on the blade. Curiously only the CE blades have the bug logo on them ???

The Native III has bugs on the PE & CE blades. The bugless ones seem almost naked without one.

i'm not Zenith but thanx for the pix Dan! I like them Lava ones too...

[Rob]

Excellent pictures! I especially like the group shot of the Kopas and the pic of the pink Delica. That pink is so cruel

Cheers, Rob

I have only seen an AUS10 native and a damn lot of Native3 here. So my apologies.

Thank you Dan for those great pictures!!The black SE is one knife I truly want!

Hey Zenith,

No apologies required on this forum mate
Native II is essentially a Native I with stainless stell outergarments
Black CE Native I is a great blade. Teeth are very aggresive.

(Pssst. Wish Sal would release a black bladed Native III )

Cheers

Another Native....this time the Tan coloured FRN OIF version with CE blade config. I was surprisingly enamoured by this knife. The tan coloured FRN handle was especially captivating, very crisp colour.










Cheers

Native III Blue FRN - nude version - no bug, no bladeforums etching

Will take some nicer shots later and replace these.

Managed to discover and acquire this very unique piece from Spyderco's golden years. Eduard Bradichinsky's awesomely weird design, and Spyderco's proclaimed first 'ethnic' knife. Very unusual and not to everyone's taste. It is surprisingly comfortable in the hand in most grip styles.

Here is Ikea's Sir Sven posing with his sword


I told Sven not to run with scissors...... but he forgot it applies to swords as well


And while Sven was resting:

Dan,
I guess I am one of those who do like Shabaria. A lot. It makes even wooden Sir look very impressive
Nice catch!
Here is my favorite shot:

Very nice pictures Dan,
I hope I will be able to get Shabaria one day.
beautiful knife, gorgeous lines.

[Chucula]

Huh...I was expecting a "before and after" series of pictures with the pineapple

I need to hang around this section more often. Great pics Dan!

[ozspyder]

Thanks for the comments guys.... I really appreciate them all. Keeps me motivated to shoot even more photos (running out of ones to shoot). Might go reshoot the older ones in newer context. And probably more fun ones with Sir Sven

Cheers and stay tuned for more shenanigans
Daniel

sweet pix of the Natives and Shabaria Dan....

Lum Chinese Folder - green almite PE

Did I mention I like the flowing lines of certain Spyderco's ? This Lum Chinese Folder definitely falls in that category ofsmooth flowing lines. Closed or open it just seems to ooze a nice gentle and calm feeling. Once again this design is not seen by many as being contemporary enough for EDC.

I like it a lot, and for photography, it makes a very good subject










Cheers

Hey Dan

Fantastic photos mate. I see you are building up a nice collection of spydies . Well done.

[ozspyder]

Thanks Frank..... but I bow to your collection. In comparison mine are opportunistic hoards of relatively available pieces. Your niceties are much more drool-worthy.

We should meet up some time for a mutual fondling session

Hi Dan

YEP, I thinks it's about time we got together and compare notes

[Peter1960]

As a great fan of the Shabaria (sexy knife IMO) I say thank you!

... Keeps me motivated to shoot even more photos (running out of ones to shoot). ...

Curious - I'm running out of time for photos Let's combine our "strengths" - please come over, I have a lot of work to do and could need some help

[ozspyder]

LOL Peter,

Just send them over and I shall do some 'work' for you. I'll ship them out as soon as I finish with them

Your strength of Spydie numbers is much preferred by me

Cheers
Dan

[KamSingh]
