Cross posting this from the Latest Acquisitions thread in the General Discussion Forum:

Just received the PE Ti Lum Tanto on top to pair w/the PS Ti Lum Tanto below it that I already owned.

Seems like I've been looking for the PE Ti forever. It's not "perfect" (some minor cosmetic issues on the reverse side) but something is better than nothing. If I ever find something "better," I'll buy it and either sell this one or keep it as a user.

Just happy to finally complete this pair so that I can move onto finding other knives that I've been looking for for what also seems like forever. ;)

When it rains, it pours.

Been looking for the PE versions of the original Spyderco Ti & black G10 Lum Tanto Folders to pair w/the PS versions that I bought years ago and one of each pops up w/in just a week of each other.

So, in addition to the PE Ti Lum Tanto folder that I acquired last week, I just acquired a PE black G10 Lum Tanto folder too which is positioned above the PS G10 Lum Tanto folder in the photo below:

I now consider my Spyderco Lum Tanto collection complete with the 2 Ti Lum Tanto folders, the 2 black G10 Lum Tanto folders and the solid black micrata Lum Tanto fixed blade shown together here:

Yes, I know there are other Lum Tanto folder variations and there are 2 other Lum Tanto fixed blade variations (burgundy and black/green) but these are all that I care to collect. You don't see too many of these knives together in 1 place and they'll remain w/me until I stop breathing. ;)

This is another cross posting from the Recent Acquisitions thread in the General Discussion Forum.

-------------------------------------------------

This is the 3rd of 3 recent acquisitions of knives that I have been looking for FOR YEARS in order to "complete" a subgroup of knives in my collection.

In this case, it's a black FRN PS Spyderco Native III (C78PSBK).

Note that the Native III does not use the same model number as all other Natives, which are numbered C41 instead. Why? I have no idea but it's clearly denoted as a Native III on both sides of the mold injected FRN scales and on the label of the box that came w/it.

The only problem with the Native III PS is that it doesn't exactly match the Native III PE (C78PBK) that was already in my collection.

The differences are the replacement of the Spydiebug w/the Collector's Club # (apparently because there was not enough room for both on the swedged blade (see the blade of the Native 4 for comparison) and the use of a black instead of uncoated satin clip screw.

Something is better than nothing but because of these differences, I'm not entirely happy with this acquisition and still will be on the look out for a better match. So, unfortunately, the search must continue. 🤷‍♂️

Nonetheless, my collection of Spyderco Natives (for now) includes these 10 knives. :)

From top to bottom:

Native I Black FRN PE VG10
Native I Black FRN PS VG10
Native 2 S/S PE VG10
Native 2 S/S PS VG10
Native 3 Black FRN PE VG10
Native 3 Black FRN PS VG10

From top to bottom:

Native 4 CF PE VG10
Native 5 Black G10 PE S35VN
Native 5 Fluted CF PE S30V
Native 5 Fluted Ti PE S90V

And, of course, I know that there are many other Native variations that exist but these are the only ones that I care to collect because think its representative of the Native line (historically) and 10 of anything is more than enough. ;)

Just got the Fred Perrin Subway Bowie neck knife in today in Stainless. Thing is pretty small





Found this Fred Perrin Street Bowie last week in near perfect shape for a good price. Missing the Tek-Lok clip, will have to find another.
Had a stainless years ago (maybe 2010) I gave to a buddy that I planned on just purchasing another when I found out they were discontinued 😡 Been trying to find one since. Found it on Craigslist of all places 😃

Got the stainless/micarta Street Beat the week before in great shape for a good price as well.

This is the closest I have to a same line Spyderco collection, all stainless. Other than the 3 Police models I would have had if I hadn’t lost 2 of the 3 lol 😤
