What was your 1st Spyderco?
What was your 1st Spyderco?
My first Spyderco was an Endura vg-10 that I still have and love to this day. I spent several years working on commercial fishing boats so a good knife was paramount and it did very well making me a Spydie fan for life and that was before I ever tried the Salt/H1!!

Roadie in grey (C189PGY)
Re: What was your 1st Spyderco?
Didn't even know about the Roadie until I learned about it here from Doc Dan. Very cool little knife, stout!

Dragonfly Salt SE. I still have it but rarely use or carry it.

Re: What was your 1st Spyderco?
I first encountered Spyderco knives in an REI catalog or in one of their stores in the late 80s or very early 90s, maybe '91. I remember it being a rescue model, maybe with orange handle (unless the orange came later).
My first Spyderco is a second-hand Santoku which i've used many times a day for ~15 years. I got my first Spyderco folders much more recently-- in late 2018. I joined here around then after having lurked for a while. I learned so much about steels, designs, materials, geometry, sharpening and more as a lurker. I find learning about sharpening and improving sharpening skills and materials to be very gratifying. Thanks to all who share knowledge and keep a great forum environment! :spyder: :cool:
Edited to add: My first Spydie folders were a Resilience and a SpydieChef, which i bought at the same time. Since then i have accumulated a few other excellent Spyderco knives, but try to not buy too many.

Re: What was your 1st Spyderco?
I didn’t have a first one, I have two three “firsts.” I bought these two Delicas and a Sharp Maker back in ‘93 or ‘94. The clip on the PE has long departed and was replaced with a metal one at the factory.

Re: What was your 1st Spyderco?
Ha, I am with you. Especially lately after learning so much on this forum I have spent about all I can on Spyderco’s. Like 5 in the last month!!

CE (Comboedge)
And actually I was not the biggest fan of the SE part of the Delica (though I found it ok) back then - my love for SE started with the very shallow serrations of the ffg Endela SE...
