Just ordered my first Spyderco. It is a Manix 2. It will go into the rotation. I also have my eye on the Clay 3 and Gayle Bradley.

I very sorry for you....it's a hobby that can only spiral downwards in to a pit full of spyderco knives.
Any way now that I'm done with my dumbness. Congrats on the manix and welcome o the forums!
I my self have a zero tolorece 200 on the way

Cheers
 
9blades - saw your post on the ZT200 on the general forum.....I also have my eyes on the ZT0200. As I stated on the general forum, it sounds like the spider hole is deep.......my pockets are shallow.......something got to give.
 
Congrats.

I still remember my first Spyderco.

It was a blue, aluminum Walker. It was so sharp. Sharper than I had even seen on a knife in my life, at the time. Breaks my heart that I sold it.

Haha so true! my first Spydie was a UK Pen Knife, lame compared to the rest of what they offer, but it's a great knife. I'm up to 5 now I think? I finally got a Delica and Endura, now I need a Military and Paramilitary.
 
My first were the Tenacious and the Ladybug....Since then the Spydie collection has multiplied consistently around payday. Next is a older discontinued Terzuola slipit.
 
Manix 2 is a great first Spyderco! Most of the time I read about people starting off with a Tenacious (like myself), but the Manix 2 is a terrific knife. Congrats!
 
After owning Buck, Gerber, Schrade, Benchmade, Microtech, Emerson and Kershaw knives for years, nothing has grabbed my interest like Spyderco. It was probably a mistake to get my first one!

You should sneak an Endura, or Delica into your list too.

I just got my first Delica a day or two ago and then I got my first Endura today and when I got the Delica, it was great. Now that I've gotten the Endura, I can't see myself ever using or carrying a Delica. The Endura just seems to fit me so much better. The Delica is nice, but not nearly as nice as the Endura. But maybe for some, the Delica fits better. To each his own.
 
My first spyderco was an endura with zdp steel. A very high value knife. I m carrying it now.
 
My first spydie was the digi cam/blk para2...
There is no turning back for you now
 
Congrats, you will be hooked for life now. If you want a Caly 3 the Super Blue is still available online, mine is in the mail now. From the difficulty I have had finding a 3.5 in Super Blue I would say snagging one soon is a good bet.
