Spyderco Forums

Ok! I pulled the trigger...

appreciate all the input!

(fingers crossed)

an on-line dealer has the Hossom Forager for $90.00 (roughly) I couldn't see anything mentioning it was a second? anybody deal with these folks as Sierra Trading Post? (don't want to spend $$$ without advice...) thanks, Mike (and if I am out of line to ask this here... please delete this post)

I have carried a Millie for years and years... I was returning it to my pocket after opening some mail, and I noted a 'tug' on the pocket that I hadn't felt before... tried again, tug again... looked down and the tip of the Millie was just slightly exposed... and I had put 2 nice long slashes into t...

step up to the "Toad"

my CRK is scary sharp...

but the sharpest I own (out of the box) is my CF Walker ZDP-189

(and this little SAK that I keep cutting myself with trying to use the scissors...)

one word... Toad

I was thinking about my Spyderco knives, and I was kind of wishing for some specific sprint-run ideas...

here are a couple of my ideas...

Stretch in OD G-10 and combo-edge blade...

Lava in Black G-10 (bolsters?)

Phoenix with OD G-10 scales (or dark micarta)

your thoughts? ideas?

as for sheer love of the knife itself, I am torn between my Ti Military, my Strider SMF Digicamo, and my Iron-wood large Sebenza - I am too much into these to ever actually carry them... at least for now... still deciding daily between Para-2 and Perrin PPT for EDC... (and usually grabbing my old Mi...

I have nearly a hundred knives... collecting for 40+ years... most are Spyderco... but my most prized knife is my Dad's old Buck 'muskrat' that he carried daily, and only came to me after he died... I wonder what my son will do when he is going through all my 'collections' and realized that his dad ...

I assume that the great majority of us would list Spyderco as our favorite knife company, and many collect only Spyderco knives... but we all have a most prized knife... one that is the 'top of the top shelf' in our collection... I am not talking about your favorite user... (mine would be my old PS ...

As a recent convert to Paramilitary knives in general, I find the Para-2 to be a exquisite bit of knife and steel... I have ordered the Caly 3.5, but I am sure the Para-2 will get the majority of 'pocket-time' from now on (at least until my Super-Leaf arrives!) I bought 2 - would they now be 'Super-...

That model of the 'Economy' was my first spyderco knife... I purchased it on a whim to get a close look at the new 'spyderedge' I was hearing about on the flight line... (I was strictly a Gerber man back then...) but that little 'economy' just kept ending up clipped to my pocket... many years later,...

I have been outbid on a couple of them already...

I have both... I like the original Paramilitary a LOT more than I used to... (old crust Military Man...) I have been carrying the D-2 Paramilitary for a few weeks... and I am really quite fond of it! and the Paramilitary 2 is next to my seat on the couch... it is my current 'flicking' knife... I am ...

Spyderco knives go everywhere I go... (except on airplanes and into court houses..)

I have one... the blade is thinner than say, the military, but the ergonomics are fine and the look is functional and pretty non-threatening...

I think it would be great in the kitchen... (but I am not going to give mine to my wife...)

I got one for my wife...

she prefers her ladybug...

go figure

my Ti Millie cut the **** out of my thumb

what he said

sage CF is sweet and feels 3-D to the touch...

the Military CF is a bit rougher than G-10 imo
