My first Spyderco: a Chaparral Raffir Noble.

I don't have a Raffir Noble (I have a regular CF one) but I like how each one is different. Post a picture so we can check it out!
 
Welcome to the party! Here's some Kool-Aid...

Sal and the rest of the crew at Golden design & make some of the best knives I've ever used. My carry rotation includes one each of a Kershaw and several other brands - and about five different Spyderco's.

Once you start acquiring Spyderco's, you won't want to stop. And that's a good thing. Maybe not for your wallet, but a good thing nonetheless. :thumbsup:

I went some years poo-pooing the looks of the spydie hole and how it made for what I thought were oddly-shaped blades. Then I bought a PM2 M4/CF sprint off the exchange here. It is, hands down, the knife I have the most fun playing with; smoothness is off the charts compared to the rest of the knives I own and only beaten by a Les George Talos. I bought 4 more Spydercos in the next month or so.

You've fallen in love with the one trait shared by 99% of their catalog. RIP your wallet.
 
i predict there shall be more "holes" just as soon
as you begin to dig deeper into your pockets :-)
congratz !
 
My first modern knife was a CRKT Eros flipper, to be followed by several other framelocks.

This is my first knife that isn't a nail nick, a flipper, or a reverse flipper. It's great!

I do have a bit of a love/ hate relationship with the back lock. I've become accustomed to smooth one-hand opening *and closing*, and closing the back lock with one hand is just a little fiddly. My thumb automatically feels for the liner/ framelock release, and there's nothing there!

But I absolutely love the sound and feel it makes on opening.
 
Oh, here's that pic.

The lighting in my office is terrible, but I did the best I could.

Those scales (on some sites) are beautiful. Since most so-called "thin" knife-blades are 0.125" or greater, you can bet on your knife to win any veggie-slicing contests...regardless of the steel.
Congrats to you for such an amazing choice for your first Spydie...
