Name the spyderco you can't pull trigger on

[orangejuice]

Slysz bowie...oh the temptation!

[Chinook3]

The Nirvana. The blade is a little too thick behind the edge but the one piece handle is stellar.
Would love to give it the razors edge treatment but dang, then I'm in it for quite a bit.
I know big problems huh. :D :spyder:

[farnorthdan]

The Tuff, really should have grabbed one when in production still, now the priced are crazy on the secondary.

[Tim_B_Riding]

Sprig. I think it would be great for fishing but I don't fish enough.

Sage 5 (wished the blade was just short of 2.5" so that I could take it to court), Techno (price and not open-back construction), and Native 5 Lightweight in dark blue (too many lockbacks already).

[Northglenn500]

The Firefly. I think it's beautiful, but for some dumb reason I can't make myself buy it.

Slysz Bowie, for not having to sleep in the gardenhouse for a week.
Advocate, for not feeling confident about the bearings.

Can't pull the trigger on a manix. The KC Cruwear version is very tempting, and honestly if i pick one up that's the version I'd grab.... but I can't justify it when the PM2 which I carry almost every day is just about perfect for me

Mainly anyone with the wire clip. I've always been satisfied with the 3screw models in the clips. I've bought several lately but I guess one particular model would be the Manix 2. I love the clip and weight of the Cruwear models but I've had a Native for 10+ years and the big leaf shape blade if the Manix just doesn't do it for me.

Your post makes sense to me, almost all of it except...the Slysz Bowie and the Ouroboros. Both are high performing knives but like you point out are a bit expensive. Worth it in my opinion though. I bet you'd like them if you gave it a shot :)

Yeah, I kind of figure that a number of the models I mentioned, I might like.

I am really reluctant to try the Slysz Bowie, though. The Techno has some pretty horrific angles for the opening action and it looks to me like the Bowie has the same angle issues.

It's a great kitchen knife too. I use it every day for simple kitchen chores.

SpydieChef. It's one I wanted to become available for years, but certain posts have me waiting for a little CQI.

[ThePeacent]

Ulize - years and years dropping it from the shopping cart, I just can't pay the prices they ask for it!

[ejcr98]

Had not been able to pull the trigger on the Sage 5 but decided to get for my birthday. Just got it in the mail and am I glad I did. Should have gotten it a while back.

It is the perfect edc when I want to carry something more dressy. Now, if Spyderco would only make a mini version of it with a blade just short of 2.5" to meet my work restrictions, I had be ecstatic.

Gail Bradley 1 - wrong climate for carbon steel
Slysz Bowie - still on wishlist but may get bumped soon. Have owned Senbenza's, but rather not spend 3 bills on a knife anymore.
Mantra 1 - is exactly what I want in a 3" folder. Light, streamlined, and ti. Carbon steel again...

Pretty much this for me, although the XHP Manix version was calling me.

I also can't seem to make up my mind between a Military 204P and SpydieChef. I know I'll eventually have both but I can never pull the trigger on one over the other. Maybe I'll trade a knife or two and get one of them to make it easier.

SpydieChef is my realistic grail. Just trying to not buy it too early before I have most of the FRN and G10 stuff.

So what are the CQI you’re waiting for specifically?

I picked up the s110v manix a while back and like it more than my pm2. Crazy right? It's got jimping all over. Not crazy long handle like the pm2. Your opinion might differ, but give it a shot.

hawkbill ladybug.

Love h1, love hawkbills, and it would pair well with the large folders I carry.

But I never use the blade on my pocket multitools, which leads me to believe the LB woyld suffer a similar fate and live in my knife drawer.

I use my ladybug hawk allllll the time. Probably more than any other knife in total, because the others get rotated and the ladybug is always there, ready to work.
