If you look at your profile, there is a tab that says"Post Areas". Click on that and you can see that you have over 750 posts in the Spyderco sub-forum. I guess since I have over 2,250 posts here and 7 Spyderco knives on my person at the moment I'd probably qualify.

Yablanowitz: You'd be eligible either way, if you didn't have the 50 posts; you've been a member of bf long enough to bypass the qualifications lol

I'm glad to see that this has gotten off the ground despite the somewhat rocky start. I've been following the posts in the preceding threads leading up to this, and it was great to see the support and resolve coming from individuals that wouldn't have known each other were it not for this common interest.
I admit, that I was put off by the aesthetics of Spyderco knives when I first handled them many years ago during the early '90s. I had gotten a Police, an Endura, and a couple of Dragonflies, all serrated in black FRN. I really tried to like these knives, but I just couldn't. They were so different from the other knives I had which were fixed blades, and mostly traditional Japanese tantos with a couple of Tameshigiri katanas (I only have one katana now, and a couple of the tantos). I gifted my Spydercos to my friends who were EMTs at the time, and they absolutely loved them. They had clips, cut seat belts and tough fabric like butter, and worked well with gloved hands. I thought, well good for them, at least they can put them to good use as part of their kit.
My re-entry into Spydercos came via a Native with FRN handles and I disliked it right away for the old reasons that I had, except this was PE. But I carried it a bit and found that it was extremely comfortable, light, and the S30V steel was great. It was then that I started to get it. Someone here said that your hand sees what your eyes can't when it comes to Spydercos, and they were absolutely right. I got rid of that Native, and got a Military to see what the hype was all about and it was all over from there. The Spyderhole has become my favorite method of blade deployment, especially after I had to use my left hand when I had tendonitis in my right for a while. I have my favorite models when it comes to the different knife brands, like the Emerson CQC-10, Benchmade 581 Barrage, ZT0200, and my Spyderco Ti Military M4. Out of all those favorites, the Military is without question #1 for me, so much so that I even got another Ti Military and the CF M390 just so I could swap the M390 blade into it, and have another Ti Military standing by for when/if I get an S90V. I feel it's that good, even over everybody's favorite Spyderco, the PM2.

In some ways, my favorite Spyderco still is the Shabaria. But the two I carry most often are the Military and Native, with the UKPK getting a lot of time as well. So much variety! Keep them all around, sometimes a wallflower is just the Spyder for a quiet dance ...

Hey everyone,
I'm Clint. I only been into knives for the past year (almost exactly 1 year!) and must say that Spyderco quickly became my favorite knife maker. I actually made a list the other day of all of the knives that I have bought and sold this past year in search of my "one" knife. I think that list included roughly 30 Spyderco knives ranging from a few Byrds and value line folders, up through PM2's, centofante 4's and an orange Dodo. But, after picking up a Southard flipper, I now have found MY one knife. I do have a Chokwe that I won't ever want to let go of, but those be my only two Spyderco's. I'll gladly be signing up for a spot in this group and look forward to chatting it up with you all.
