Your Spydie for Christmas

[Shiden]

So, what Spydie will be under your Christmas-tree this year?


I bought a Ladybug/Photon combi for a friend of mine and one for myself. No other Spydies this Christmas.

I think my Wife might have a SE Pacific Salt for me this Yule, at least I hope so. :D Cheers, Rob

I've found a shop in Toronto where they had a manix and a para so I bought them both... I’m just waiting for the confirmation... Aside that, I will probably try to snag a WTC rescue...

For non spyderco tool, I will probably receive for my birthdays and Xmas a crunch and a micra...

That's pretty much it, since the two Uk-pk I've preorder are far from hitting uk...

[garrett]

Blue, PE dodo and a PE Native....hopefully!

ss pe police(get the money out today for it, 'lreed' on kfc)

[mrd74]

#49 UK penknife will be under my tree the Xmas. :D

[Senate]

I won a PE Civilian with kraton insert handle from eBay... it will be my Xmas present to myself because no one but me can understand the beauty of it :p

[talonturbo]

I bought myself a Blue PE Dodo off ebay. Only 52 bucks. I've been trying for a Manix from the GF, but I'm not holding my breath.

Hey Nicky, what shop in Toronto? What were the prices like?

Merry Christmas

I handled one of the :spyder: Natives this week-end past, and was much impressed. I will probably contour the handle a bit to allow better access to the :spyder: hole with gloves on, but otherwise the feel of the knife itself is wonderful.

My :spyder: wants for Christmas are very modest. I have put the following in a fax sent to Santa just a moment ago. I GOTTA have: A Titanium ATR with S30V, I Combo edge Manix, 2 big C-54 Calypsos ( one to carry, one to collect), A Jess Horn C-27, a Carbon Fiber C-22 Michael Walker (Swiss made), all of the Hawkbill blades numbered and in plain edge. You see I never was one to be ostentacious or show offish. All I have ever wanted out of the Spyder world is just the bare necessities. We would all be happier if we were content with less. :D :D :spyder: :spyder: :)

[JDEE]

Yellow Pacific Salt for me plus a Blackjack Slick with leather handle.

[Nicky]

Just ordered two TAN Enduras from New Graham, one for me (I'll be fifty on the 21st), and one for my cousin's husband, an Army chopper pilot just back from Iraq. I'm putting a fob made of tan para-cord in a Reeves coil knot on each.

God Bless America, Seki City, and Sal Glesser!

[DAYWALKER]

Aloha!

For me...I'd like a SPOT PE...let's see...I think that's it!?! No, Dragonfly SS in PE...NOW i think that's it! LOL!

God bless all, and i hope you all get the :spyder: 's ya want!

[samosaurus]

I don't think them on-line stores can rush a PE-Manix in time.. Oh well, I'm already a happy man! Better luck next year I guess.. :cool:

Sam

[Jenner 515]

Well, I got myself a PE Manix...maybe a black handled Yojimbo?

[fret]

Happy Holidays. I told Santa I want a Navigator SE, a Native PE, Endura PE, Calypso Jr.SE and a Delica CE. I may get at least one of them??? Happy Holidays to all.

[i.v]

i got myself an Ivova T2 tactical flashlight because that's what i needed :p
what i really want is an orange rescue 79mm :rolleyes:
i find that this is the type of knife i like the most, frn, lockback, nice & like, aligator shape... love it :D
happy holydays

[Blades]

Well I don't think my wife bought me any Spyderco's, but I did buy/trade for two. I just got a old CPM440V Military(with a 2 screw clip??), and I traded for a full size, PE, Micarta Calypso. :)
I also have a custom knife coming. A small tanto("Asian Dubh" model) made by Michael Burch(you can see a few of his knives at www.tadgear.com ).
:D
So it will be a sharp Christmas for me!!

Hello, all - I recently discovered this forum, and based on reading some of the older posts, decided to add a Calypso Jr. Gray FRN to my small (but growing!) collection. I just ordered it this evening, so if it arrives by Christmas, it will be a nice present.

[bpfsu]

I asked for a Jigged Bone Kiwi and a Persian, we'll see if I get either

[fret]

Welcome to the forum Lockback. You made a good choice with the Calypso Jr. FRN. I like mine maybe a little too much? I'll probably wear it out opening and closing it if that's possible to do? Lots of fun and keeps me out of trouble.

Welcome to the :spyder: Forum. The Calypso Jr. is one of the most popular
spydies among the Forumites here.

Welcome Lockback, Caly Jr is a great knife!

As for me, got lucky last night and nailed a UK Penknife on eBay. :cool:

[Mr Blonde]

I even consider the Calypso jr. to be sort of a token for forum-membership.

Welcome!

[Tungsten]

Dodo, black/plain.

[Echo63]

not really for christmas but i just bought myself a q and a dragonfly
after christmas i will be getting a jot singh khalsa, dodo, civi, and a yojimbo
i have found a wonderful shop just a few mins drive from me that had three spydie q's brand new in box, and they have the jsk too (also brand new)

[grg]

three wegners and a toad.two large wegners one wegner jr.
all used but in decent shape mostly needed a new edge put back on them.
:)

[OutofGum]

Got a gray calypso on the way... can't wait!

[Lockback]

OutofGum,

Just got an email letting me know my gray Calypso Jr should be here on Wednesday (isn't UPS tracking a wonderful thing?). We can compare notes when you get yours. :) I'm looking forward to mine, as well.

[denn]

ordered an ATR-ss. but it'll probably arrive somewhere in January, too late for xmas i'm afraid... :rolleyes:

[fret]

I am still hoping to get my Navigator SE and my Endura PE before Christmas. The waiting is the worst part. USPS has tracking service but until the knife is delivered, it just shows that the knife is in the mail-somewhere? UPS is much better. They show it where it is although they always seem to ship it to the fartherest place from me and then back again? Some of my knives have traveled more than I have. I should ship myself to myself and I'd get to see all 50 states on one trip.

[rorschach]

As for me, I recently swiped an SS Kiwi from ebay.

Ta,

Wonderful knife. As anticipated, accessing the :spyder: hole with gloved hands is a bit rough, but otherwise it is an exceptional blade, currently riding in my waistband just above the Harpy.

My Lady has requested a Dodo in blue for a belated Christmas present, and I simply *have* to get the Szabofly when available. I see more :spyder: knives in my not-too-distant future...

Have a wonderful holiday season, everyone.

Ta,

H

[boxer93]

It looks like I may get the penknife shortly after Christmas. I also just gave another away. This one should be a surprise, only 1 only soul knows :)

This past weekend I attended the local gun show. Since this was the last show before Christmas, the larger knife dealers went to larger venues. There was only one Spyderco in the entire show. :eek:
It was a C52SBK Calypso Jr. It was in the box which contained the plastic bag and the warranty papers. The price tag on the box was $29. When I picked the knife up to look it over the guy behind the table picked up the box and said "that knife right there is $25, no tax."
I asked if he had any more and he said no, but he wished he had a hundred of them. He called it a real "buzz saw".
It has been my EDC for 4 days now. :D
Happy Holidays to all!!

[Zeppelin]

Mine were an SS SE Cricket and a Persian. Got to use the cricket some, and it eats up plastic banding like a monster. Just got the Persian today, so I haven't been able to do much with it yet. I hated to put the little cricket down, so I've been carrying my Persian in my pocket and my cricket "Scotsman" style, in the top of my sock. I'm very pleased with my gifts.

[Ted]

My UK penknife just didn't make it for christmas...so no Spydies under the tree for me...

Ted

[Mr Blonde]

Well, I had a very MANIX XMAS!!!! Quite a surprise, especially since I was sure we agreed on the budget for presents!

Wouter

[bigcat]

Not one, but two...Spyderco Stretch combo blade #082, and Spyderco Toad serrated blade.

BigCat

[druid]

After hearing all of your Christmas lists. I decided to go ahead and get a blue salsa $42 discounted on the spiderco web site no shipping. It is the combo edge at first I thought that had rather have the plain edge, but I don't have a combo edge anything in it will be interesting to see how they work. This will be my work my everyday carry and I think it will work very well. It replaces my merecat ce which I lost :(

[Senate]

I finally received my PE Tufram Civie today and though it was described as used I was quite shocked to see its bad condition...

the tip is blunted, the blade is almost dull and something in the lock mecanism makes it very difficult to open.

GRRRRRRRRRRRR :mad:

does someone know if the Repair department can take care of that kind of old model? or even replace a PE civie blade on a Tufram model? :(
