my first 3 knives in my collection were spydies, a delica, a joht singh khalsa, and a centofante, still have the delica, traded the others, not a bad way to start imho, stick w/the higher end stuff, i waisted way too much $$ on CRKT, if ya pay the right amount for spydies/BM/etc, ya can usually get your $$ back/get a good swap if ya take care of the things, unlike cheaper stuff, imho,
