Your first Spyderco and what you own now?

My first Spydie, the SE Delica1, was purchased after seeing Cliffhanger in the mid 90s. It was soon followed by a half-serrated black FRN Ladybug, then my bro in law got me a black FRN Dragonfly for my bday. Since then I've added the Salt1, Jester, Delica4, G10 Dragonfly, Honey Bee, Bug, 2 Caly3s and the Pacific Salt. I got the last 6 I listed in since Nov.
This thread needs more pics so here are a bunch for you all! (I hope I didn't post too many though!)

My full collection (so far). I still have all I've ever owned and don't plan to get rid of any of them.

My first Spyderco was a pair of Titanium Salsas. I now have a LOT of Spydercos and EDC an orange Military. I didn't like the looks of Spyderco knives initially, but they have grown on me and now they're some of my favorites. That Spydie hole is just so darn convenient and comfortable to use. :D

My first Spyderco was a Black FRN fully serrated 1st Gen. Endura. I now carry a Black FRN part-serrated 4th Gen. Endura. I didn't stray far. :D
 
My first was a G-2 ( Gin 1) SE Endura with FRN moulded clip in about 91-92. Next was a black bladed delica I used for swimming.

I keep to around 105-110 typically, selling some every now and then, but eventually replacing them with something else.

I really put large numbers into the collection when I was working the gunshow circut. I'd make the rounds before the customers and snag obvious deals and bought them at dealer cost naturally. I might make $800 in one day, but only go home with $400 :)

All time favorites are still Enduras, Police ( especially the P3 FFG/PE ), Millie, BG42, and S90V at the top of that list, and truly the Stretch 2 knives in ZDP are some of the best knives to ever be produced anywhere for any price including customs.
 
I stepped on a hard spot in the grass when I was walking barefoot and pulled out a Police serrated Spyderco.
It had been there a looong time and I carefully cleaned it for hours before I even dared to open it... didn't want to screw up the opening action.
Once cleaned, this fossilized knife was freakin' great. I was really stunned at how nicely it had weathered the seasons. Quality knife, for sure.
Recently got a Hossom Forester and I'm pretty happy with it.
 
First was a Millie ...

1st Gen 1 delica with combo blade. Probably purchased 20 since then. Sold all and only kept the progrip. Recently purchased police4 and military.
 
my first spydie was a black lady bug that i got when i was about 12. it has been gone/lost for about 8 years now. the first spydie i ever bought was an atlantic salt. it has seen its share of use. i dont plan on ever getting rid of it. in the last year i have added a bug, honeybee, Endura, Endura4, Delica4, UKPK, and a Native.
 
My first Spydie was a PE Salt 1.

My collection has grown but is still not that large (that's what I tell myself, anyway :p).
Salt 1
Delica 4
Ladybug
UKPK
Persistence
Sage 1
 
My first Spyderco was a, Centofante 3 then from there in no paticular order I got a Native, Tenacious, CF Caly, CF Stretch, Kukri, Barong, Tim Zowada, Captain, Sage 1, Bob T Slip it, Digi Camo Military, Endura Wave, Manix 2, green, blue, and brown FFG Delicas, and Green and grey FFG Enduras.

I have a Blue Manix on the way, also a Foliage Green CTS-XHP Manix 2 on the way. I too thought that Spyderco knives were ugly until I got the Centofante 3 and now I love Spyderco, I really want a Sage 2, Paramilitary, and many more but those 2 are going to be my next Spyderco purchases.
 
My first spyderco was a delica 4 bought it sometime this year, hoping to get the paramilitary 2 when it comes out.
 
My one and only is a UKPK. Nice knife. Good ergos and steel. Thinking of getting a G10 Delica or Para2 when we move back to the States.
 
My first was a PE Delica 4 and have since picked up G10 Caly 3, Orange UKPK, Yellow Salt 1, Brown FFG Delica 4, and G10 Delica. My first Delica remains my EDC of choice. For my purposes a 3" blade is ideal.
 
first was a gen 1 delica I believe, that was quite a long time ago. Now I rotate a para, green g10 manix2, and a pacific salt when I'm at the ocean.
 
First Spydie: Paramilitary PE, satin, digicamo

My first was an Endura about 15 years ago. I own about 60 or so Spydies now most of which are of the g10 variety. My current carry is a camo military with a black blade. I carry 2 everyday while on duty.
 
My first was a delica clipit circa 1995

My first Spyderco the Tenacious was also the first knife that began my love affair with collecting knives of all sorts.
