    Just bought my first Spydercos!

    After a lot of research I just purchased my first two Spyderco knives. I picked up a Paramilitary 2 to use as an EDC, and an Assist 2 to keep in with my scuba emergency gear.

    I also picked up a sharpmaker and damn am I impressed with how easy it's been to sharpen my leathermans and a couple other older knives. I'm so happy I chose the Paramilitary 2. Feels awesome and I just can't put it down.

    I'm looking forward to owning more Spydercos in the future!

    I got a Paramilitary 2 recently and a tenacious a while ago. I can't imagine a better knife than the Paramilitary 2. I'm looking to get a small folder like the manbug or ladybug 3 for dress clothes/work when the PM 2 is too large.

    Welcome and good on you for getting a Sharpmaker too! Using it and studying the video really changed my look on knives and what I like my knives to do and be.

    Start saving money now, it's not to buy more Spydercos but to pay your bills.

    Spyderco, once bitten , your done.

    It's true. I said "Just one" and got almost a whole year. Then the next month I bought three or four, then two this past week. I can't stop. And nobody on here helps me control it either.

    Welcome to the forum.

    Let us know how the whistle on the assist works under water.

    When you get the itch for another Spyderco, scratch. Why torture yourself.

    Jack
    Knives I love: Sage 4, Chaparral (CF), Bradley Folder, Dragonfly2, Manbug(s). These guys are the result of deciding to get one good knife.

    MY CURRENT EDC
    TOP: Bradley Folder
    or (depending on picture)
    TOP: Sage4: Now with black G-10 scales, stonewashed blade and bolsters
    MIDDLE: Chaparral (CF)
    BOTTOM: Manbug (G-10): Now has black G-10 scales, ZDP-189 blade ground to a Jester-like spine, stonewashed blade and bolsters
    Fenix LD01 (single AAA flashlight) clips to Manbug FOB

    Welcome, you got two great knives, but I think the Sharpmaker was as good of a purchase.

    Welcome to the Forum!

    The Spyderco Para-Military2 and Spyderco Assist2 were certainly great choices; however, acquiring the Spyderco Sharpmaker to keep those knives sharp is certainly an outstanding decision!

    Recommend you consider getting the Spyderco Diamond Tri-Angle Stones for your Sharpmaker.
