your most jealously guarded spydie?

[sam the man..]

I traded a buckmaster and a gerber coffin-handled bowie for a Spyderco Endura RS1010. This piece is almost 10 years old and the most awesome spydie I've ever owned! Whatabout yours? Which one will you guard jealously?

My brand new Civilian C12S. Tufram aluminum with kraton handles. I love it. I'm like a kid with a new toy. Nobody is allowed to touch it.

In a world of compromise some men don't Spyderco and H&amp;K the perfect combination

[whosyour]

Without a doubt my military/I am lost without it and my endura well it would be lost without me

Matthew 10:34 (and it will be made by spyderco)

[sam the man..]

Hey whosyour - Welcome to the forum dude! And yeah, I know how it feels being lost without the Endura and the Military... <img src="sad.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle> Guard them jealously, treat them with luurve, sheath them if you can : with Mike Sastre's neck or belt carry concealex babies! <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle><img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle><img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

I have several that I guard jealously and hardly ever use:
Pearl handle Spyderkey
Probe
Pre Diver

P.I.G. Police left hand model
Hummingbirds stag and pearl (wear them to church on my tie on occasion)
Titanium Police partially serrated
Plain edge Civie
Black Blade Military
Black Ti. Worker
Black Ti Endura
Black Ti Delica
Black Ti Magnum Research Police
Evolution Set (2 Workers one plain edge one serrated Damascus)
SS Spyderkey (used it til Sal told me they were scarce)
2 old model plain edge Workers both w/same serial #
3 Centofantes (Green, Blue, Grey)
2 Bob Terzoulas (large and small w/alum. handle)
Orange handle Snap it w/ Rescue Blade (got it from the Late Great James Mattis RIP)
I think that is all. The others that I use I love also but not as much as these! I am sure I will remember some others as the day goes by.

As an avid and often rabid spyderco collector I think the prize in my collection has to be the Evolution Set, serial # 2. This one is not carried, but is displayed proudly.

the walker with carbon-fiber scales

[RDaneel]

Blue Almite Navigator with James Mattis' Chai on the blade. Irreplaceable and a testamonial to a great man.

[CJF]

I guard them all, but I like the older models mostly, so I guess my &quot;most&quot; guarded one right now would be a plain blade green handled Delica.(Thanks NCBlades)<img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

RDaneel, that is a knife to treasure. I have a plain edge aluminium Cricket that I bought from James only a few weeks ago. I'm thinking of having James' chai engraved on the scale in his memory, should show up nicely on the grey finish.

My most jealously guarded Spydie is the Moki Evrina with the Linda Karst tiger scrimshaw. OK so it doesn't have a hole but it's the most beautiful knife I own.

Samo,
No need for numbers. I'll just stand in line for a regular run. I do like my 3&quot; blades (give or take), just the right size.

[dalerich]

Mine is the Carbon fiber Walker C22

[sam the man..]

Way to go Paul! A mark of true sportsmanship! I guess the older spydies will indeed be jealously guarded... <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle> G'day Clay, how was the trip to the mountains?

Sam

[Tommi]

I only have one that is irreplaceable: plain C12

[Clay Kesting]

Haven't been yet, Sam. I've just spent a few days up north with the inlaws, but don't leave for the mountains till Saturday. Just trying to decide which knives to take <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>. At the moment it looks like a Leatherman Crunch in the emergency ski repair kit, a SAK Rucksack for backcountry survival (gotta love the saw) and a micarta Calypso Jr for nights sitting around the fire in the lodge. No, maybe that should be a grey Centofante Jr. Then the Military has to fit in somewhere, dammit I might as well just pack the whole roll <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>.

G'Day Clay -- I've never seen snow but have gone as far as the Falklands. Oooh! All the knives and tool! Tough choice mate! <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

[Tommi]

Samo, never seen snow!!!!

Clay, What kind of skiing weather you have there? Alpine or cross-country? Because you need an emergency ski repair tools I assume that you are doing alpine or telemark skiining. am I right?

[sam the man..]

Yeah Tommi, I've never seen snow in my entire life, but I guess there'll be a first time for everything. The closest ever, was cleaning up frost in the cold room. In Malaysia, the temperature is wet and humid all year long (27-32C) <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle> - That's why I guard some of my spydies jealously! <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

G'day Tommi,

I'm a free heel fanatic. We're staying in a resort called Charlotte's Pass which is the highest village in Australia and gives good access to the main Kosciuszko range. The mountains are so old and eroded (read small) that it's possible to ski from peak to peak. I'll be doing some back country touring and looking for some nice untouched spring corn to carve up with some teles <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>.

Clay

Free the heel and free the mind.

Tellut rulaa<img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>(slang) = Telemak skiing rules<img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>.

I've done it(telemark skiing of course) only tree years but in deep snow I ski better with telemark skis than with slalom skis despite of about 20 year experience with those regulars. (first I learnet to ski cross-country)

Telemark skiing with spyderco puukko. <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle> I want to do that!

Guys - If a SpydePuuko were ever made - Would it be a piece that you'll guard jealously? <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>
I think it'll be great for the folks at Spyderco to produce a limited run for this particular blade in honour of Jim Mattis.
