Well I got my first Spyderco knife today. I must admit, I really like it. Got my Spyderco Scorpius in a trade here on the forums. At first I thought Spydercos were ugly as hell, but now they've kinda grown on me.
 
Congratulations Kim Lau. You picked a very nice knife. I like the extra tail on the grip. It helps stabilize it in my hands, and could be used on a car window in an emergency.

If you keep from killing it with "death by prying" it should last you a long, long time. It's got good steel, is built well and is another one that never got the fanatical recognition that some others in the line have. It cuts just as well, and is as well thought out IMO.

Welcome to Spyderco Kim. Joe
 
Lycosa is right! So, are you already thinking which one will be your 2nd Spyderco? Your 3rd? Your 4th... ? Just kidding. Stay safe. :)
 
Thanks guys. I was thinking about a Paramilitary, but its kinda out of my price range (for now).
 
I remember when I had one Spyderco–life was a bit simpler then!
Congratulations! I always thought they were strange until I owned one as well.

Welcome to the Loyal Order of Spyderco Fanatics, Kim. You have a whole world of possibilities ahead. :)
 
Throw a pebble in the water and watch the ripples grow and grow!

Congrats on your first Spydie, Kim!:D
 
Congrats on the spydie! Im still awaiting my spyderco rescue to show up! I used to have the older delica and endura models but had traded them. I really like the delica, Perfect size. The endura was just a little bit too big for my taste. Still a great knife. I really want to check out the newest delica 4th generation!
 
Congratulations. Spyderco is a great company in that they make a knife for everyone. I like the look of the Scorpius, but it doesn't fit my hand. Fortunately, they have lots of other knives that do. Anyway, enjoy yours.

I've heard that statement or something similar to it many many times. And I said it myself when I first made my way over to this forum and got my first Spydie. . . A FRN, AUS-8 Dragonfly, a much more humble beginning than your Scorpius. I've had to limit my buying of knives due to limited finances, but I've managed to pick up a half dozen other Spydies since then and I love every one. I'm thinking it's about time for that Caly III I've wanted for a while, or maybe one of the flat ground Delicas. . . Got a couple of other things to take care of first, but I think I can work a new knife into the budget for next month.

Congrats on your first Spydie. I'm guessing it probably won't be your last!
