Duplicate knives anyone???

[hy]

Does anyone else here have the tendency to buy Spydies in duplicates or is it just me? I have 2 Chinooks, 2 CF Civilians, 2 Natives etc...well you get the idea and they're all in the same configuration (serrated or ps). I know the money would be better spent on other knives but I just can't help myself.....and regret it later. I was even tempted to get a second commemorative worker from shootist16 after buying one from him but managed to restrain myself...<img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

Didn't I read in some thread that Clay recommended buying knives in pairs <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>
Sorry Clay I couldn't resist <img src="tongue.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

Hoosierdaddy, if Clay really recommends buying knives in pairs, we should ask him to practice what he preaches....<img src="tongue.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

I tend to buy hard-to-find knives, and ones that I REALLY like, in pairs. One for me to &quot;play&quot; with, and one for my collection!


I'm glad I'm not the only one who does this!

No, you'er not alone in buying pairs. If I REALLY
like a knife I will buy at least two also. Often more.

My reason is that I buy what seems to be discontinued
knives simply because they are what I like and ya' gotta
get em' when ya' can. I carry one and hold the other back
so sell to pay for the one I'm using. If it is in mt &quot;keeper&quot;
catagory both will be held for use in case of loss of the other.

No, I don't recommend buying knives in pairs. In fact I think it is a detestable practice and has been proven to lead to all manner of excesses and addictions. However I <b>do recommend </b> that hy gives all his duplicates to me before this infliction progresses any further.

ROFLHAO!!!!

So... pairs, right? I think &quot;someone&quot; in this forum recommended that I should buy a Calypso Jr. in PE... someone... <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

Presently, I have no pairs, but I am considering the FRN Native as a later addition to my collection.

Wow....am I glad I'm not the only one who buys duplicates...On the other hand, my addiction's going to get worse since misery loves company...<img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle> Spyderholic, 6 civilians??? And what is a firefly???

[hy]

I wonder if any one would pick that &quot;firefly &quot; refence up good eyes dude.
The fire fly was a g.saki knife that has a little led light embeded in the tail on the kife, a small schackle for you keys and what not. Kind a Spyderco because If I remember correctly we were the only ones to import this product so you had to get through a dealer that stocked up on SPY's. They cam black on yello and yellow on black. And had a thumb stud so it easily opens one handed a little easier then the ladybugs did and do.

Hy, I have a Firefly. I'll bring it along next time.

Kahz, SE and PE versions of the same knife don't count as duplicates. That'd be like saying male and female twins were identical <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>.

Alright, I own 2 Carbon fiber Civies and 2 SE enduras. Check back later for an update. <img src="tongue.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

[sam the man..]

Omigosh! Replicates, duplicates!! <img src="tongue.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle> Sometimes I buy a pair, so that I can give one away without missing it too much... <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

Sam

have spydies will travel

[hy]

Thanks to everyone forallowing me to think that I have some semblance of normalcy left .....Seeing how some of you have rather warped thinking (see participants of kangaroo scrotum thread<img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>)...I was tempted to put 'Twins and Menage a troix' in the subject header to attract more attention but I'm glad I didnt have to<img src="tongue.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>. Does anyone know why a lot of the spydies are named after insects, reptiles and animals (eg meerkat,mouse, dragonfly, toad, ladybug etc)?

In the land of knives, Spyderco is king.
