What Spydie do you have on the way???

Waited almost a year to get my hands on the Nilakka only to find it's an utter piece of crap. Epic fail on that one.

Think I will stick to the many customs offered here.
 
Waiting on a Caly Damascus if the USPS ever finds the lost package, and a Pair of sprint green PM2s.
 
Just got a Vallatton, before that was the blue Endura, before that was the Tuff, before that a Gayle Bradley, before that was a ZDP 189 Endura...
 
A matriarch 2 and a tenacious. These will be my first two spydercos since my endura was stolen at work in 1998. Its been a long time.

Thats a little harsh dont you think:confused:. Could you please explain why you think it is a piece of crap?.
 
Just ordered my first Spidie. Been wanting a Millie in s30v for a while & finally went for it. Can't wait to see those digital camo handles November 1st...

People are complaining because the edge is very fine and can be damaged under "harsh use" (but some are even saying light use), even though Spyderco included a card warning the user of this.
 
Took a quick picture of my military that I just got, the picture doesn't show how it shimmers from blue to purple. I've seen a few pictures of the Ti fluted Mil "blueing" that didn't look that great, the knife I got I think is an EXTREMELY good sample, so I'm pleased.

The blade is ground way to thin to be usable for anything but food prep!

It is a beautiful design, and me being finnish I thought I had to have this knfe, but after all the reviews, and pics of destroyed edges, with chipping being the norm for wittling soft wood, I can't imagine justifying the cost.

If I am gonna spend $200 on a production knife it better be a user, and this knife is definitely not a user! My $50 Delica is a better knife!

Epic Fail from Spyderco, and honestly puts me off of their products altogether.

F it! I'll stick to the many reasonable priced small fixed blade customs avaiable in the exchange for EDC.
