I've got them already & just noticed 2 great vintage Spyderco fixed blades were recently listed on The Exchange w/o any takers.

That's so sad. :(

The RJ Martin Kumo & the original Janich/Snody Ronin:

What can I say, I already have a Ronin and the Kumo never appealed to me. That and I don't troll the exchange.

My problem is that, in terms of Spydercos, I pretty much collect anything/everything that appeals to me (which is just about everything) & that I troll The Exchange every day looking for rare items offered at "good" prices.

LOL!!! 🤷‍♂️

I think that the asking prices on these knives is very good, BTW.
 
Is Spyderco a brand that inspires a lot of collecting? I guess that's a silly question as there are people who collect bread-bag clips. Still, I don't think of Spyderco collecting the way I think of, say, Buck or SAK.

(You can tell by my question that I tend to tread the same paths on BF. And I only ever owned one Spyderco, just long enough to swap out the scales and give it to my niece.)

There is quite a a bit of Spyderco collecting going on. Some chase variations on a single model, some follow exclusives from a certain dealer, some go for everything. For example, my Military collection:



Which pales in comparison to my Police Model collection.
