I live in a small town where you usually won't find much more then a few different models of buck knives. Today as I'm sitting their at a pub eating lunch 2 guys walk in and I see they have pocket clips so like any knife nut I got curious what they had expecting some random buck model. Sure enough they both haul out a military. One combo, one plain edge. Both well used and pretty.

I left and was like okay I get it..buy another military...
 
Yeah I know what you are talking about I have a D2 Para and I want the S30v version now, if only I weren't out of a job.
 
I've ran into exactly one guy in person, that was into Spydercos and other tactical knives over the years. Most that even care about a knife think Gerber is about as good as it gets and 99% don't even know what a Spyderco is, let alone actually own one. (I tell them what I collect and they are like Spyder What? Never heard of it.)
All the older local folk collect Case, or some other slip joint.
Then you get on the net and WHAM there's loads of other Spyderco fans!:cool:

There's plenty of Spydercos here and people who love them, but I actually live somewhere. :-P

I am really lucky. I work for medium size company with about 70-80 people, where nine carry Spydies and five of us have more than one.
 
Watching a re-run of tv show "Life" (love that show), and Crews pulls out a Spyderco to open a couple bags of bird seed that had guns and money in them. It appeared to be an Endura SE, in stainless steel. He pulls that Spyderco out, takes a reverse grip and just cuts down those bags, cool....:thumbup:
 
Up until 1995 I was one of those people. I grew up in a fairly rural town about an hour North of Harrisburg. Buck was the predominate quality option, and then one of my best friends dad's started carrying Leatherman brand tools. There are still very few people here that know about Spyderco.

Now I have my family and friends on the band wagon. It is my job to spread the word in my local community.
