Here is my current collection of spydercos. What do you think, and what do you think I should add. I am going to add a fixed bladed one soon but I am having a hard time picking one.

Here are the ones I currently have.

Stretch Damascus black
Stretch Damascus blue ( in the mail )
Dice
Domino
Rubicon
Cally 3
Positron
Delica wave
Paramilitary 2 blacked out
Manix
Manix xl blacked out

Here are some pics.

Please let me know what you think of it so far, and please let me know what would make a good addition to my growing collection.

Thanks for looking Brad.
 
Looking great so far to me!! I think I'd add a Dragonfly, Sage, &/or Native but that's what I like. You add what you like.
 
Something serrated, H1, and yellow couldn't hurt. :D That department appears a bit, lacking. :p


Great collection though, no doubt.
 
I'd add one of the many Military versions that exist and a fully serrated Pacific Salt!
 
Looks good! :thumbup: My first thought was a Yojimbo 2 and/or Bob Lum for a different blade shape. I also love the look of the Schempp Tuff if you can find one. For a fixed blade, I love the Schempp Rock and Ronin.
 
Nice spidies! I really love my slysz bowie, I think that would fit right in nicely but it's a fairly personal choice. So many to choose from.
 
Your flippers are lacking a southard. You could get the all black one. The new Mantras would fit in well too. Maybe a Native5 for something a bit smaller.

Also, do you find you prefer the domino or the dice?
 
Yep. FRN Native5 and DF2, and a Military. Oh, and get the DF2 in serrated H1 or VG-10. It's a mini pocket chainsaw.
 
Looks like a great collection!

All excellent recommendations so far.
Bradley 1 or 2, Yojimbo2, Military, Terzuola Starmate, Lava, Khukuri (or other Schempp offerings), Dodo, Southard Flipper... just a few that stand out in my head at the moment that may go along with your current line-up.
Then, like mentioned several times, you've gotta get some Spyderedge in there somewhere, and of course H1, and why not a hawkbill or Reverse-s like a Lil Matriarch or that new Myrtle.

If you want to start off trying full SE and H1 salt on a budget, maybe try the Ladybug Hawkbill, aka Ladyhawk. It's a tiny tiny knife that I think will surprise you at its utility and ease of carry.


Get yourself a Mule to start with fixed blades, then if you can swing it, either of the Wilson's collaborations!
 
I love that blue Damascus Stretch. Really wish I'd picked one up before they sold out everywhere.

The domino and the dice are so similar, it's a hard choice lol. The dice is smaller so it would probably make a better every day carry. They are both made the same with similar quality and sharpness. I love them both lol, they snap open with ease and they are rock solid.
 
If you're collectin' Spydercos vs accumulatin' them then you should have the first production Spyderco, the C01 Worker and the first collaboration knife the Spyderco/Terzuola C15 also the first USA made knife and the first knife made in the Golden CO plant IIRC. Seems to me any serious collector of Spydercos would want those 2 in their collections. :)

It's been hard enough for me to save up to buy these lol. So I guess my collection will be considered more of a accumulation of spydercos, because the ones u mentioned are definitely out of my price range.

I am happy with the ones I have so far, and I am eager to add more non numbered ones. I have a benchmade that's numbered 340-750 but it cuts and feels the same to me as the ones without it.

I am just glad that I am able to share what I have with others who enjoy seeing knives like I do.


Will this benchmade axis flipper be worth more because of its number. I'm new to the forum so I'm just curious.

Since you seem to like the Stretch, I totally recommend picking up one in HAP40.

Also:
-ZDP Endura
-Any Military
-Dragonfly
-GB1 or GB2
-Something in serrated H1...I second Speedholes' recommendation of a LadyHawk. It disappears in pocket, weighs nothing and will add an extra layer of capability to your system.

As for a fixed blade, how about a Sprig or an SE Aqua Salt?

Do you a method of sharpening? If not, might be good to think about one. ;)

Like some have said though, it's YOUR collection...that's one thing that makes this all so fun!! :D
