*SpyderNation - Open talk and hangout corner *

^^ Indeed lol.

Hayes - Tegan and Sara are the best! She has good taste lol. I'm hoping to get the money together and go see them in March. I haven't missed a concert to date and don't want to start now.

You should definitely pick up a Chaparral. I was able to get mine for an insane deal. Just handed over some extra knives I didn't like or want to the local shop, handed them $53, and went home with my Like New Chaparral lol.

I traded it off to my cousin at one point so he could have his first really great and higher end knife. He then handed it off to his friend for some odd months and he finally got it back so I could trade him to get it back. So I traded a couple of cheap Kershaws, a crappy cheap butterfly knife, a Spyderco Kiwi and a Zippo to get it back in my hands. Never again will I let it go, unless it's for a knife I want more(unlikely). I got it back in the same condition so I was happy lol.

Damascus/CF Caly 3 should be here today. Now I just have to wait for him to get his Techno tomorrow and give the okay. =] Waiting still sucks though lol. Still super excited. =]
 
Okay since this is SpyderNation and it's an open discussion thread, I want an opinion.

Does anyone here have any experience with the Spyderco Baliyo Pen? Specifically the USA made ones because I've heard about the China ones cracking or breaking and falling apart. I want to get the Blue/Green one because I'm kind of a pen nut and love my balisong. I think it would be sweet to have a pen in my two favorite colors that I can flip around. But I also want to carry and use it. So is it reliable and will it hold up? I'd love to get an opinion because I want one lol.
 
I just got my first Chaparral a couple of weeks ago. Its definately a slim knife. Probably has the thinist blade of any Spyderco that I have. I like the ergos, but the back lock spring on mine is almost too strong to close one handed.

I've never been to one of their shows, but I'd imagine that since their fans are really loyal the atmosphere is fantastic.

Haha that's some journey it took. I love the knives that you let go then come back to after a while. It really makes you appreciate them more.
 
Trying to decided if the Blue Para 2 is really worth what they are going for in the exchange. I emailed bento box and they said they are still waiting to hear back from Spyderco if they are going to be getting more in stock.
 
I am glad you guys got a fan group going. Now we can battle J/k. No but really we should come up with some kind of game to play.
I own only one spyderco, its my favorite small knife in the world.

My Chokwe is incredibly smooth. The back lock is super smooth. I guess it just needs to break in?
My newest Spyder is as smooth as they come. Oh that leads me to the new Spyder lol.

Just got this one in today.

CF/Damascus Caly 3.
Not my pics, they are from the guy I traded with, I just haven't snapped any of my own yet.

I think it is worth how much BBS is selling it for, but I wouldn't pay more than that for it personally. The fact that BBS was able to sell out of TWO separate runs (is it 800 or 1200 pieces each run?) of it shows how popular it has been.

Thanks, it took a team effort to pull it off. I'm game for whatever, as long as it doesn't involve any stabbing. lol.
 
BladeChick, I never held a Chokwe and it is interesting how people who like it swear by it. It definitely has a cult following. I suggest you get a back up since it got Disco'd, you can perhaps get one for a good price. The Caly3CF looks really nice, I gotta save myself for others coming out this year though. DISCIPLINE!

Yes, the Chokwe is that good, I did buy a backup recently. I too am not buying in anticipation of new models coming out.

You gotta be kidding me, now you're vouching for it too? I'm gonna look around real quick, might get lucky. I'm also waiting for a VECP that Les promised me after bugging him so much, so my budget is pretty much shot.

add: They're still well over a hundered bones. mmmmmpass.After a quick look around at places that state "closeout prices for discod Spydercos", you would think they'd have it at closeout prices.
