Well, 'ello gents. Just got a Para 2 today and am loving it. Everything I love about the Military except in a package that won't scare the boss! My index finger is really sore though...

Congrats! Im gonna get a para one day. What Color did you get?
 
Grats on your Para 2 Squash
I hope you didn't read into what I said as much as those other guys
It's a great knife and you'll enjoy it!

Thanks for all the congrats!

Lol, I didn't mean to start a flame war over the knife. As I said in the other thread, the great deal was that I got the knife for $100 when the price tag read $149.

9blades, haunt the exchange. I have seen two Para2s go for around the same price that I paid.

Yeah I've seen three (maybe four) for under $130 in the echange this month.....just have stuff I want more i guess (I just don't see para 2's going out of production any time soon haha)
 
I know it's not a spydie (so I added in a delica to the picture) but I finally got a skyline! I'm loving this knife!

Skyline is a great little folder. I need to get my hands on another one.
I really want to get the majority of the limited ones and switch them around as I please.

Trading off my Air. Getting another Chokwe with a flamed lock side.
Gonna switch the lock side from it to my Chokwe cause then I'll have my original Chokwe with Flamed Ti and Toxic Green scale.

Then gonna slap an Orange scale on the one that's really really used with the new bead blasted side and let it go to a new home.

Oh and I have a user Galyean Pro Series Small JYD coming in from a trade.
Super excited.

Trades make me happy. =]

I'm exited now! Tim gaylean makes beautiful knives, and the stone wash on his knives looks perfect! Make sure to post pics!
 
Hey you know what I was thinking? Why don't we allow SpyderNation members to casually trade Spyderco knives with each other so that more people can try out different models? Kinda like a members only passaround?

I don't know bout anyone else but that would be huge incentive for me to buy more unique models if I could try them out first.
 
^^^ Blade on the one I'm getting has been kind of polished to buff out scratches.
On top of that, the bearings fell out of the IKBS and he has most of them(8 on each side instead of 12) so the IKBS still works and is still smooth which is great.
But it is an user.

I'm excited though. It's going to be great once I get it and put a nice edge on it. I expect it to be a favorite. Users see all the more love from me. I'm happy.
I'll post pics of it once I have it.
And then I'll post pics of the Chokwe's once I get the other and do the swap.

Yes I removed the clip, I didn't like the "paddle clip" that comes with it at all :( it just feels flimsy to me plus it's a little longer than what I'm used to, I'm hoping to find someone willing to make a smaller more low profile (titanium?) clip to come along who might also be willing to trade something for it :D I love the barrel clip on the Salt series and the Native :rolleyes:

Here's pic of the Chokwe Jessie's getting. It got some sort of blemish in one small area since I took this pic so I'm going to re-do that part. It also has a bronze/copper clip now.

Thanks! Sent him an email regarding a trade, hopefully he's open to it, from what I've seen of his work I have a few zebrawood scales he could definatley use in trade :D
I am pretty sure he can help you with the pocket clip. Best of luck on the trade...
 
I think I've got my eyes set on
Mule Team 17
ZT 0566
and... maybe a Sebenza 25, but I would have to forego any whims and possibly the 0566
Since I have to get a k390 mule. For the right price of course!
