got a new one today!

There was a gun/knife show in town this weekend. I had "new knife fever". Looked at the Benchmades. The new axis lock sure was tempting. I don't own a AFCK, yet, but probably will someday. There was a guy there with some Sabenzas. And I lusted--but just couldn't turn loose of the cash, at least this time. I already own several models of spyderco's. None of them have ever let me down. The price was right. Came home with another Spyderco.

Which one did you get?

No sprinkles! For every sprinkle I find, I shall kill you!

Dirk;
I got the plain edge, stainless Endura. It joins my Spyderco family consisting of:
Aluminum Worker, spyder edge. Stainless Mariner, spyder edge. Plastic Endura, spyder edge. Plastic Delica, spyder edge. Wayne Goddard Lightweight, plain edge, and a stainless Standard, spyder edge. I had a plain edge, stainless Police that I really liked, but I gave it to a VERY good friend who had been lusting for it for years. I am sure thats more than you wanted to know, but if you had asked about one of my kids, I would have told you about all of them too!

It appears you like the stainless handles. I never liked them much, the grip never felt all that secure. Plus, when I clipped them to my pocket, they were like a beacon, I would get at least one person a day ask me about my knife.

Looks like you have nice little Spyderco family there. Notice how it keeps getting bigger.

Dirk;
Bigger, but not big enough!---My stainless handeled Standard model has been my day to day work knife for fifteen years. When I bought it then, there wasn't the choices we have now. It has undergone abuse that I don't believe a composite handle could have withstood. You are right about shiney pocket clips standing out though. Most of the time it isn't something I need to woory about, as I spend most of my daily work in rural areas, and communities. When I clean up and go to town though, I do usually switch to one of my black clip models. Happy Cutting!
