First off let me say that I am not trying to be negative here, if it is coming off like that then I appologize in advance as that is not my intent.
I only have 1 Spyderco knife and it was given to me as a Christmas present in the early to mid 1990's. I carried the knife for awhile and I really tried to like it, but the knife just did not appeal to me.
As the pictures below show it had seen some use as well as some sharpening.
This particular knife turned me off Spyderco's and I have had no desire to buy one since.
Last November I bought a Byrd Crossbill as I was looking for a hawkbill at the time just to see how useable the blade design was. I last carried a hawkbill as a kid when an electrician uncle gave me an old electrician's folder.
I was impressed with the value for dollar that the Crossbill gave me, I just wish now I didn't buy the stainless handle, but at the time I was going for cheap.
A couple of months ago we were at one of my wife's cousins wedding and I started talking to one of her cousins and he mentioned he was looking for a job. The company I work for was hiring so I got him a job.
It turns out that both he and I are into knives and Spyderco is his favorite make of folder (he's got over a dozen Spydercos).
When I mentioned my Spyderco and how I didn't like it, he offered to lend me an Endura 4 to use as an EDC for a few weeks.
I have carried it now for about 3 weeks as my EDC and I do like it, in fact I am thinking of buying another Spyderco just to give them another go.
I will post the question below the pictures I am attaching so you will see what I mean right away.
This is the knife I now own, I am thinking of cutting the clip off of the handle so that the knife can be more useful for me.
The question is; Is this knife collectable given the model it is and the fact that I have sharpened it.
If it is collectable then I won't cut the clip off.
Your thoughts are appreciated
