Spyderco Forums

How much did you spend on Spyderco brand products in 2023?

Include New, Used, Secondary Market, Seconds Sale, etc. as long as it was for Spyderco brand products.

Include everything as long it was for Spyderco brand products and NOT aftermarket (not produced by Spyderco) products.

Include knives, sharpeners, accessories, etc.

I'm unwilling to calculate because I may be forced to admit I have a problem.

I agree. pass.

Should have started at:

$1,000

$2,000

$5,000

$10,000

$15,000

between knives and mods, about $850. that's quite a bit more than i thought.

$630, single most expensive was the Sage 5 CF at $145. Five knives and a medium benchstone; at $54 for the benchstone I'm averaging $115 per knife.

Honestly that seems pretty reasonable to me for K390, 20CV, S30V, and XHP built in Japan and Taiwan. Though none were at MAP; all either from the 2023 discontinued list or dealer exclusive.

A number of caveats are in order:

• Hindsight
• Sample size
• Forum members vs General public

By my rough estimation, I spent enough last year for Sal to upgrade that old corporate jet to the latest Gulfstream.

My spending has come to a screeching halt due to insane prices and I have accumulated 60+ knives in 5 years!...it has eclipsed my gun collection by a lot!!......I'm good with knives for now and will likely never buy again. It was fun while it lasted!.....

Don’t care to know

Interesting thread. i got the calypso jr vg10 gray frn and original Temperance fixed blade in 2023

A sizeable chunk of my departmental budget went on knives and sharpening kit this year, plus my own personal purchases pushes it to about $2200.

I tend to buy multiple items in each order as shipping from the USA to SG is not cheap. That’s my official reason and I’m sticking to it

I didn’t total my purchases.

Between Native Chiefs, Delicas, UKPks, and mules I estimated $600-$799.

So far 2024, $0.00; but lots of great stuff on the horizon.

Crum … forgot about the Enuff 2 K390 and the Murray Carter Petty …. Revised to $1K+

Absolutely hilarious, the disparity between the number of responses to this thread/poll, vs. the absolutely quite similar thread that just queries the number of knives. Fun games, and I'll participate in both.

Ikuchi
Superblue Zome Dfly
20CV Knifejoy Lil Native
Zulu (rescued from a dusty knife case in a gun shop)
15V Shaman
Damascus Stretch XL
Cruwear Manix XL
K390 Wharncliffe Delica
K390 Wharncliffe Endura
H2 SE Dragonfly x3 (gifts)

I'm sure I'm forgetting some, probably a mule and a galley V too. Over 1k easy.

I'm thinking hard here, but my M4 Tenacious might be the only thing I actually bought from Spyderco last year, so I'm at about $130.

I went hard on the 2022 Seconds + Black Friday MAP sales, which kind of put me in a hole for knife purchases.

I'm spending less on knives these days, and they're more expensive. I'll buy a Curcarta Millie 2 as soon as it drops, but that might be my only Spyderco purchase this year.

Thank you for capping the poll at 1k!
