We all start with 10 fingers. Those with Spydies have 9 to spare, Still need a thumb. Good thing I still have 8 to spare...

[thorin hammer]

Some laws permit, what honor dose not.

[seaman]

got my first one in sep 1991 a police model spyder edge. its been almost 10 years and 17 spydercos and more to come. mike

[Sword and Shield]

First got the Endura in ATS-55, 50-50 edge configuration. I really like this knife and always look to add more to my knife collection.

In fact, if I ever find a Chinook at a dealer nearby, that is going to be my next one.

Keepin' it real...real sharp, that is.

[Carlos]

Wegner C48, plainedge, was first for me.

[Jeff/1911]

My first was a G-10 Rookie, serrated. I saw a picture online and couldn't rest until I owned one. Seven more since then...and I'm just getting started. Jeff/1911.

[Fozzy]

My first was a Hunter bought in 1988.

scolby- I have an olive-drab Ladybug from Hofritz with &quot;Hofritz&quot; engraved on the blade. It guards my motorcycle keys!!

Plainedge worker, got it about 5 years ago, just as they were being discontinued. Paid $25 at the annual gunshow at Hillsville VA. What a deal. I'm really glad I bought that knife. (otherwise I'd still be carrying a SAK)

[The Stare]

Though have purchased my 6 Spydies in the last 3 months or so, simply cannot remember whether I bought my Walker Ltwt or Dyad first. Got both used. I expect there will be more, but must admit I like the Wegner so much, I doubt I'll buy nearly as many as I would have if it had been way down the list.

[Paul Work]

A SS Standard back in the late '80s.

[khagler]

I just bought my first!

The store where I bought it didn't have anything to identify the model, but from looking through the catalog here it appears to be a Navigator with a different handle. It's made from some kind of black composite with a checkered surface.

I just learned that peasants in California can legally carry a concealed folding knife, so I think I will be buying more very soon. :-)

[Jazzman]

khagler, what you have is a G10 Navigator! My first Spyderco was an FRN Dragonfly. Afterwords, I traded it for a Merlin. The most recent I have bought was a Mouse.

[Petro Peta]

My first and still my favorite is my SS, Spderedge, Endura.

[DAMSHARP]

My first Spyderco was purchased while on vacation and stranded in a snow storm in Golden Co. I wandered into a new store that made and sold a very unique and expensive knife. That was in the late seventies, I now have my own cutlery business. Love Spyderco

[jyork]

Wow lets see if I can remember that long ago. That would be back in the late 80's I bought and still own and carry occationally my C04 Executive. It was a perfect size for me to carry.

[Blades]

My first, Endura-full serrations.

[Michael G73]

My first was a Ladybug, but the first one I really clung to and carried all the time was my second, the Dragonfly serrated FRN. (I've since given it away a couple times over). <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

[FREDERIC K]

1995 - PRO VENATOR
Then came a jot singh khalsa
a spydercard
a matriarch
gunting nr 287
and soon a trainer, a civilian, a cricket, a police....
.... every spyderco I can find.
[ who said I am mad???, doctor said I am almost normal !!!!]

[gadfly]

My first Spydercos where sharpening stones purchased at woodworking shows at the Garden State race track. At that time, Spyderco didn't make knives.

So it's like they say:

&quot;First they made things sharp and now they
make sharp things&quot;

One way or the other, you pay for your tools!
