I haven't purchased a Spyderco in a little bit now and its killing me. I needed a new holster, and had to pick up some electronics goodies lately, so my "toy budget" hasn't been up to picking up the remaining things on my wish list (which never seems to stop growing).

My last two purchases were a Blem'd JYD-II Comp from Kershaw guy (very happy with that), and a CRKT McGinnis Tuition (which I'm actually pleasantly surprised by), and a Benchmade Griptilian - which I'm just not happy with (not knocking Benchmade or anything).

I've come to realize that I can pick up any one of my Spydercos out of the drawer and carry them without skipping a beat - they feel perfectly natural and since all of mine (except the Delica) have a good-sized choil, they just fit into my hand like they were never gone.

But other than flipper knives (which all my Kershaws are), I don't seem to be able to adjust to the thumb-studs and I've found that I just don't appreciate the other knife-makers like I should.

I've bought and sold a few knives recently that weren't Spydercos and yet I still have several things on my Spyderco list that I now realize I should have just bought in the first place.

Anyone else been waiting for a bit to get that special Spydie... or made the mistake of buying something else that ended in disappointment?

I think I need to pick up a Sage II very soon, and a Chaparal (and the Native 5 needs to hurry up and get in-stock so I can get one too).
 
Nope, not really. I have bought almost ten Spyderco knives this whole summer. My favorite of them all are the Para-2 and the Citadel. I'd go for it, and buy the two you want.
 
Hahaha - I must have forgotten which forum I was posting in :)

I need to get back into my groove.
 
Extreme withdrawal. Saving for a rather expensive upcoming model, although the shabaria is worming its way towards the front of my mind more and more lately.
 
I really wanted a Lum Tanto just a few weeks ago, but some traditionals have since caught my eye... I am a fickle, fickle knife-guy! :o
 
So far this month I have gotten a 440v military , zdp delica 4 , 2 salt 1's , Centofante 2 , jot Singh Khalsa , and a gen 1 delica !!!!!!! Iv got it bad this month ;)
 
I foolishly remembered that I had played with a D2 Para a while ago - the old style, you know. I so wish I'd bought it.

Got a Carpenter Para2 coming - I just hope it allays the jonesin'

I'm pretty sure it will. It's a great knife and 20CP is a great blade steel.
 
I'm jonesin' for a new Spydie. I'd like to snag a Salt 1 or D Fly 2, but I've also got my eye on a Kershaw Rake and Knockout.
 
I thought the xhp military was gonna hold me over for a while but I'm anxiously waiting for the lionspy
 
Naw, I'm on the time release program. Got the M390 Mule, signed up for the other two M390 Spydercos expected next year, got the XHP Military I ordered six months ago, and lucked into a CTS-20CP Para2 on the second wave. :D
 
I've cut way back in the last year and a half, mostly because so few of the new ones are midlocks. That said, I have a Chaparral on the way from New Graham and am really hoping it will arrive today. After that, unless an interesting Sprint comes along, my next one will probably be the Native V, whenever it's released.
 
Yes - I am. I have only bought one this year (for myself - two other that I gave away as gifts). I am working on a ruger 10/22 build so my knife budget has been diverted to bull barrells, kidd triggers and the like :)
 
I was doing fine until I read about the caly 3.5 in super blue and the pekka puukko on here... Now I have no choice but to buy them.
 
I've been copacetic since I got the Earth Brown Military, however I'm starting to get the first inklings.

Puukko is available? Or just wishfull thinking?

I'm in a bit of withdrawl until CC gets paid down. Translucent Blue Manix 2 is next for me.
