Spydie Xmas

[J Smith]

Ok it seems the forum has died down in the past week or so.Lets see if this gets it moving a little.

How many of you are planning on buying someone a sydie for christmas or getting one yourself and witch ones?

I am pretty sure I will get two a calypso jr micarta and a starmate or R .

I am buying someone else a dragonfly.

[J Smith]

I want for me a chinook

[zatoichi]

I think I'll get a Delica w/ a matching trainer. Anyone have a Fav knifemaker?

[ronin203]

I plan to pick up another Chinook,(with a plain edge this time), and a lil temperance. And a perrin street bowie as soon as I find one.

[Lsaulog]

I'm after a Cricket &amp; Harpy. If finances permit, maybe a CF Civilian or two. <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

Spydies on my X-mas list:

Gunting, then probably Shabaria for myself. None for other people, yet...

I hope everyone had a safe holiday. <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

Already bought a Combo Edge Starmate for my brother and a couple of Knife Necklaces for my sisters. My girlfriend told me in no uncertain terms she did NOT want a knife for X-Mas, so I bought a ladybug for her just to be a smart a**. <img src="tongue.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle> I was thinking of using the Chinese box trick on the ladybug and starting out with a box the size of a refridgerator or somethin. As for myself, I'll probably be pickin up a Wegner and a Starmate! <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

[Kahz]

You know, that Starmate is starting to creep itself into my subconscious as well... what is it with these knives????

I think I will need professional help soon. <img src="tongue.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

I have five minutes ago purchased a Chinese Folder as a &quot;Xmas Present&quot; to myself

[zatoichi]

I got the delica.....my new fav. with a trainer! But that's just for the hell of it....I'm getting myself a custom Elishewitz Oracle (damascus, of course). I just put my order in with Allen....so, I should have it by April at the latest. I'll let you guys know how it is. Merry x-mas, everyone!

[mundele]

Have delicas on order for my father in law and father. Talked my sister into getting Dad a Sharpmaker also.

Call it &quot;Spydievangelism&quot;

--Matt

[RattlerXX]

I bought and Endura, and two Delica's for my wifes father, and younger brothers for Christmas. While I was ordering, my wife added on a SS Native, and Vesuvius for one of my presents. I would really like a Wegner JR from Santa, but I don't think I will get it.

[Clay Kesting]

tbarahon,

Great choice, welcome to the Chinese Folder Club.

My Xmas list just keeps getting longer and longer. I'm hanging out for a gunmetal blue Chinese Folder. Then there's the forum Vesuvius, if it comes to fruition, followed by the Perrin fixed blade and the Glesser/Perrin neck knife. Of course I'll also have to buy the diamond rods for the Sharpmaker and maybe a micarta Jester if I can find one. I hope the kids aren't expecting too much <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>.

I got a 204 last week. The danged thing will sharpen just about everything but my wits. I love the way the top becomes a handle, the stones fit into the bottom to form a wide flat surface (to sharpen chisels) and everything fits inside where it won't get lost. The video is great but I wondered when Sal will offer a DVD to get us into the 21st Century.

I guess I will continue to sharpen my lawnmower blade on the benchgrinder but everything else is headed for the 204.

[kraziekurtis]

Yea I do prefer DVD since that is in my room and I wouldn't have to go downstairs to the VCR...oh well...

[panguero]

Spyderhog here! For Christmas I gave the Spydie-Gift that keeps on giving. I have joined the &quot;Spyderco Collector's Program&quot;. Now that I am registered(thanks Kelly W.), I basically thumb through the 2002 catalog and admire the great new knives coming out this next year and dream of the day that these Spydies get released and arrive automatically at my local knive shop! And each one engraved with my personal assigned collector's number etc. There are still a LTD. group of numbers available as I speak for those so inclined.There are 200 available total.

BTW- I noticed on E-Bay that an entire collection, to date, of Spyderco Collector's Knives is up for sale. You buy them and can even assume the number for future knives! Thirty-Three knives in the lot.Killer way to invest in Spyderco futures if anyone has the bux. Wish I could do it but can't swing it; so my collection starts anew.Still stoked! Think about that E-BAy post:33 serialized Spyderco Knives in one sale! Ho Ho Ho

[kraziekurtis]

How do you become a member and how much does it cost?

[panguero]

kraziekurtis,

It costs nothing to become an official collector, however there are contractual obligations that come with the privelege. You can call the factory eight hundred number(found on this site) and ask for Ms. Kelly Williams. She can brief you.

[kraziekurtis]

Does she have an email? I don't &quot;do&quot; phones...I'm not good with talking to people on the phone...I don't know why, I'm just not <img src="sad.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

[kraziekurtis]

BTTT.... <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>


I would like to know more on this club.....

[J Smith]

If I remember you get a num asigned to you and you agree to buy all new knives that come out.This can be very expensive.

Jeff

[kraziekurtis]
