Hello Spydie-fans!
I haven't posted a lot on the forum, but I'm trying to be more active in it. I just wanted to make this thread for all of you to share your experience on how you first got into Spyderco. This is my story:
I first heard about Spyderco back in Summer o6'. I was introduced to it by a close friend of mine, mr.vu. He told me he had been collecting knives. I was curious so I asked him more about it. He showed me his collection and gave me some lessons on the handles and steels. One afternoon I followed Vu to go get his collector's "S" that just came in from his local dealer. When I first saw the knife I was very intrigued by it. I told him, "This knife is nice." The looks, size and all, it just amazed me. Vu wanted to get me started, so when he saw how amused I was by the "S", he gave it to me. The "S" was the first knife I handled. It was like the perfect knife. After that, I went on and purchased an Endura 4. Soon, that became a favorite. I asked Vu about the collector's club and he explained to me what it was all about. Around October I joined the collector's club and became #196. This is my collection so far:
-Waved Delica 4
-Blue Dodo, SE
-S.P.O.T. Micarta, PE
-Big Persian
-Swick
-Native 1st Generation
-Native Black Blade, PE
-Lil' Temp Leaf Point S30V, PE
-Lil' Temp Trailing Point
-R2, PE
-2006 Forum Lava
Non-Spydies:
-Emerson SOCFK A
-Ontario Abaniko 5
-Ontario Abaniko 7
-SOG Micron I
Special Thanks to Ruth and Vu!
That's my story. What's yours?
