1st gen Endura with a fully serrated blade. I'm thinking it was 1994. The knife is at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean somewhere between Washington state and Alaska.

Re: What was your first Spyderco?
I lost a Swiss army knife on the middle fork of the Stanislaus River in the Sierra Nevada one time. I was a kid at summer camp and my counselor "accidentally" chucked it over the bridge. Lose some, learn some! Never brought another knife to camp.
I'm happiest with Micarta and Tool Steel.

Manix 2 S30V Still in my collection.
Probably one of the best and most ergo friendly designs to ever come out of Spyderco!

PE Delica in AUS-8, with the integral pocket clip. This was back in 1997.

Re: What was your first Spyderco?
I purchased a blue FFG Delica 4 about 2010. I also have a Salt 1. I got the Salt mainly for the yellow. Drop a yellow knife in the woods and you have at least a ghost of chance of finding it. I lost my blue Delica while hiking Surgarloaf Mountain in Heber Springs Arkansas in 2017. I will no longer use a pocket clip for this reason. I replaced the Delica with an orange 4. A blue is in the safe unused.

Re: What was your first Spyderco?
Burple Military last April. Followed pretty quickly by the Burple PM. I didn’t know anything about different kinds of steel and just really liked the colour. :)

Re: What was your first Spyderco?
I used the Police model in mid 90's, on a loan for a backpacking trip. Litte did I know that some 20 years later I would be here.
I purchased my first Spyderco, all black S30V PM2, late 2015 early 2016? Native 5 LW and Manix 2 LW shortly after; possibly as I was wating for the PM2 to arrive?

Re: What was your first Spyderco?
Burple Manix actually! Then I branched out a bit.
I think my favourite is my Maxamet blade swapped into Fluted CF Native, but I probably actually use the Burple family more.

I haven't actually tried S90V or S110V, but I've heard great things about Maxamet!

Re: What was your first Spyderco?
Paramilitary 2 Jade M4 Exclusive...I signed up for the wait list 18 months in advance...I knew I wanted a Para2 and the M4 and Jade seemed liked the perfect trigger.
40+ Spydies later and it's still all about the steel...I love what Spyderco exclusively brings as a production company...time tested ergonomic designs in industry pushing steels.

So it goes.
Re: What was your first Spyderco?
Aus8 molded-in clip se dragonfly, early/mid 90s. Gave it to my oldest son, it was lost at work one day. He still carries a spyderco most days. It was his first spyderco, too
Re: What was your first Spyderco?
Mine was a VG-10 Delica 4, followed shortly by a PM2. And the rest as they say, is history :D
