Since Christmas I have gotten a Military, Para 2, Dragonfly Salt and a Delica. What is it about these knifes that makes you want to collect them all? I have a nice little variety right now, which model should I look at next?

YES, seconds on that advice!

You have a great collection... but a nicer Taichung blade is missing. My mind immediately went to Techno/Southard/Domino/Dice. Given the size of knives you have, however, I'd lean toward Techno or Dice (and Techno is my fav. of those two).
 
I'd you're gonna collect them all, the action on the Pikachu is lightning fast...




:D


In all seriousness, I second the recommendation for one of the nicer Taichung offerings.

Don't forget the Gayle Bradley...its one fine knife!
 
Doesn't seem like a problem at all! :D

I'd get a Manix 2 Lightweight in S110V, awesome knife.
 
Here's a few to consider....
  • Cenofante: Awesome, thin slicer.
  • Air: Ever wear a suit? This is your knife.
  • Chapparal: If you like the Dragonfly and the Delica, try this one.

Im with ya on this crazy train...since around the same time, got a blue delica, orange delica, salt dragonfly, orange dragonfly, salt hawkbill and just ordered a swick 4.:o
 
I like the Domino a lot. Which configuration should I get? The blue bbs version looks cool but the price is crazy.
 
Welcome to addiction! My current favorite is the Manix 2 G-10 in Satin or DLC. I like it more than my PM2, but only by a slight bit. I'd vote Manix 2 next, it's popular for a reason. Be careful, buying one Spydie just leads to the next!

*Spyderco products have been proven by the Surgeon General to be highly addictive! Common side effects are maniacal laughter upon your orders arrival and pressing the tips of your fingers together while saying "excellent" in a longer drawn out way. Some customers have reported hand soreness from constantly opening and closing their Spyderco because of how much fun it is. If these conditions persist, contact an authorized Spyderco dealer. They'll tell you no cure for your addiction currently exists! So while you're at it you might as well order your next Spyderco:D*

I've only been into Spyderco since 1/8/15, my current count of what I have and what's in the mail as I type this is 7.

In the order that I purchased them:
Delica 4
Para Military 2
Tenacious
Manix 2 G-10 Satin finish
Manix 2 G-10 Black DLC blade
Stretch FRN VG10 (on the way!)
Sage 3 Carbon Fiber (just ordered today, should be shipping out tomorrow!)

I'm probably done for awhile;). I'm waiting for the Amsterdam Meet (I think that's what it's called?) and the Mid Year catalog update. Like you, I can't believe that I didn't get into Spydies sooner. I missed out on some folders that I think would have been great, like the Superleaf and Superhawk. I'll buy more I'm sure, Spyderco seems to have something new for everybody on a yearly basis from what I've seen looking at all of the discontinued models.

I have all the models that I marked in my catalog as wanting except for a few I dismissed because they weren't for me after all. Very few companies impress me as much as Spyderco, you get a lot for your money. Their materials, customer service (Sal Glesser answers questions and posts here on BF, what owner of any large company does that?), and price just can't be beat IMHO. That's why I've become so infatuated with them, and why they have a customer for life.

Seems you have a couple Golden CO knives and a couple Seki-City blades, I would defenetly go Taichung next. Spyderco Domino is an awesome knife if that's what you're looking at now.

I would get the domino + pe lil Matriarch deal. That's 2 sprints for $250 which is a pretty square deal. Fwiw, the lil matriarch is a super cool knife...every bit as desirable as the domino in my opinion.

Edit: those two are actually "exclusives" not sprints but they are both limited runs.

Do this. :thumbup:
If you like your Delica, you'll really dig that Lil Mat', and of course the Domino Flipper is like crack for your index finger, it won't be able to get enough flip.
 
`Keep your eyes open for a carbonfiber Stretch in ZDP189. You NEED an Endura - especially a G-10 if you can find one. A Caly 3.5 in Super Blue. A 95 and 80 Manix, not that the Manix 2 is bad. Para 1 in D2. More Militaries and Paras! Just got the Slysz Bowie and its a heck of a knife. Lil Temperence Rhino horn. Calypso 3. You are pretty much just scratching the surface with what is currently being produced - lots of oldies but goodies out there that pop up on the sales forum. Keep your eyes open and your bank account full. Do a little research into the discontinued models and have fun.
