Yellow/Green Delica 4 Zome, S30VN. My first Zome and I really dig the colors!

Pm2 rex45! I got in on the p3 feeding frenzy and began to regret passing on the pm2. Luckily found one in stock at a vendor I’d never heard of before. :cool:

2013 Forum Native 087V!!! :D

I accidentally sold this knife off years ago (to Matt I believe!) and have been kicking myself ever since. This is about the only Native 5 I don’t have with my CC number on it! For an OCD freak like me, it’s a good day! :)

That's my favorite Native 5, I have 2 of them!

Native 5 Cutlery Shoppe on the way(accidentally), maybe other stuff too.

EDIT: I just read through the announcement thread for the 2013 Forum knife. It's kind of neat to see how excited everyone was for this one.

OMG. 25 pages with no picture of the knife and half the pages were some seriously non-shiny mess that Kristi had to lock. What a hot mess!

Haha yeah it was! I posted after reading only about half of the thread. I went back later and finished. It got a little crazy.

From what I remember others saying, the 2013 Forum knife ended up selling out really fast. I imagine there was some hostility after that.

All that fuss over that forum knife and I easily acquired three of them all at different times for the original price or less. I have also sold two of them since then and only have one left. The two I sold were not all that easy to sell. I just sold one of them about two weeks ago for $10 more than what they sold for new. That was after putting it up for sale on the exchange twice. The second time it was up there for about three weeks before it sold.

A lot of the excitement was, I believe, that it was the first production folder in S110V. That doesn’t sound that exciting now but it was a big deal then. The S110V Mules sold really fast too. However, I sold a backup S110V Mule a week ago for more than twice what I paid for it. Go figure?

The 2013 forum knife is one of my favorite knives and I carry it often. I just sold the backups because I recently decided to purge myself of all duplicate knives. They were just a waste of money and tying up funds that I would rather spend on knives I don’t already have.

Native 5 Fluted Carbon Fiber. ....excited for this one as I'm a CF junkie!

Just bought a pakkawood dragonfly from knifecenter. First time buying a knife from the states since the border issues. Hopefully it gets here

Congrats on getting it back!

It was actually "Sully" that you sold it to, and I got it from him. I ended up selling it to someone on BF. Very cool that it came back to it's rightful home. Nice job! :)

It sounds like it's well traveled! :)

:spyder: My 1st Spyderco fixed blade/mule! Scales and boltaron sheath. :cool:

medium grit bench stone. i've been finishing with my medium rods on most knives lately...figured I could get an even better edge using a wider stone.

A eBay deal on an old used Military. "Gear" style jimping. Looking forward to fixing it up.

Ahh, that's right Matt, it's all coming back to me now (especially after a bit of searching my old emails )! I gave Sully quite a ribbing over selling the knife to someone else, although he did very kindly offer to sell it back to me first way back then. Looks like he hasn't posted for over a year now, hope things are well with him. It certainly is a well-traveled knife, having four owners in a bit over 5 years!

I also read over the 2013 forum knife thread again -- don't think I even posted in it! I am in just as much disbelief now reading some of it as I was back then. It certainly did stir up a lot of emotions in folks. :D Despite all that, it was definitely the N5 that hooked me on the model - I think I have somewhere around two dozen different N5s now, most with my number on them .

Manix 2 Lightweight Maxamet. Got the last one from Midway.

Meerkat Sprint! Can't wait. :) :spyder:

Received my Lil Native Compression Lock yesterday... As Eric's logo is stamped on the blade, I think it is his design... Well done, Eric! It fits my relatively big hands perfectly and with the compression lock its an addition for urban EDC to my PM 2. Really a stout gentlemen'a folder!

Urban LW, K390 should be hitting my mailbox in the next little bit. (Purchased from a forum member.)

Been wanting to check out the steel.
