Knives in the mail

Josh K · Feb 3, 2009

Right now I'm entrusting the USPS and UPS with a Caly3 in CF/ZDP-189, a SuperHawk, and a S90V Mule. The wait is going to kill me. Today's tuesday? Friday is in 3 days? 72 hours? 4320 minutes? I don't know if I'll get a chance to use them over the weekend. The Caly3 is definitely going into my EDC rotation though.

Thanks Spyderco for some amazing knives. :thumbup:

Birthday presents to myself. It's not like I do this everyday.

I've been looking at the SuperHawk compared to other Hawkbill blades (Tasman Salt), and it looks like it (SuperHawk) isn't as curved as much as the others. Is this just how it looks or is it less curved?

Ahh makes sense. I recently spent about 145 on a few knives. Girlfriend was PISSED until I told her it was with Christmas money.

I know the feeling. I'm waiting to get my Native IV back from Spyderco. It's been a little while, so it should be any day now, but I just keep checking the mailbox...

It's a nice feeling knowing you've got goodies coming in the mail. Like Christmas every day!

My girlfriend bought me a used Comemorative Worker and large Persian for Valentines Day. Once they arrived she said I could only have one for now.
I have to wait another 10 more days til I get my hands on that Worker. Waiting is agony.
Oh well. At least I get to play with my new large Persian!

It's old school, but it's still got all three screws.

My first delica and dragonfly should come today. Anticipation is a bitch. I had to order some smallish knives, I have a feeling chicago PD would look poorly on an ATR or Millie.

It's not as "hooked" on the end, for sure.

One of my fave newer Spydercos, the handle fits so well and the entire knife is so well made. It's got the best lock ever, IMO.

I always end up at the ups website, refreshing the tracking page over and over and over again.

Just got my Delica and D'fly

Delica, I thought would be small feeling. It's actually sort of perfect in it's own respect. I picked up my manix for comparison... its kind of funny, really. Oh did I mention it's pink? I have no shame, I dig it. But my girlfriend wants to steal it.

D'fly is the smallest knife I own (wharcom may be bigger?) - but I'm blown away on the quality of this little knife. Ergos are great, I've got smallish hands.

I just ordered a purple FRN Ladybuy and 2 of those "Bug" knives.

I'd love the Dragonfly if it didn't have that molded clip.

Those pictures are starting to make me think that express overnight am delivery and a day off work are in order for all future knife purchases.
