In a pinch.......

[SpyderNut]

*Sighing*



I really dislike it when I get in a jam when I'm trying to make up my mind between a few different Spydies. Argh!<img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle> I have it narrowed down to just a few canidates. I will now call on the power of the FORUM, (moment of silence<img src="tongue.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>), and see what direction I should take. Which one first?

Thank you, noble Spy-kin!



Choices:



1. Starmate PE

2. Mouse PE

3. G-10 Harpy SE

4. Military PE

&quot;Have you seen those new detergents out there that are supposed to get blood out of your clothing? Truthfully, maybe blood in your clothing isn't your biggest problem. Maybe you should get rid of the body first.&quot; -Quote from &quot;Seinfield&quot;.<img src="tongue.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

If you can get a G-10 Harpy, jump on that one. It's a hot item, and very rare. After that, the Starmate and Mouse, since they're discontinued, but a little more plentiful than the G-10 Harpies. The Military can pretty much be bought at your leisure, at least at present.

[Pachucko]

Go with the G-10 Harpy. I just wish it had double steel liners; have i said that before? pachucks

SpyderNut,
Think you are getting too many knives<img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>. Is my envy showing<img src="tongue.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>? Do you have another occasion? Hope you are healing up. Is that it<img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>?

[sam the man..]

Whenever in doubt with the extra cash.. Get the PE Starmate.. <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

G-10 harpy blatantly, then the starmate
MAT

[Kahz]

You &quot;obviously&quot; need them all. <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

Get the Mouse, Starmate, Harpy, and then the Military. <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

Kahz, Mouse's #1 Fan!

[Lsaulog]

Hmm.

I agree with Kahz. You <b>DO </b> need <b>all </b> of them.

The Mouse &amp; Starmate are my current EDCs.

I'd get the Mouse first, then Starmate. I don't know how much longer the Mouse will be available for about $75. Vince @ Bladeart or Blade-Tech.com would be your best bet here.

The Starmate is a work of art. I'm partial to the combo edge but the plain edge is just as nice. Because it's discontinued, I'd pick that one up next. You'll find it hovering around $100 or so.

The G-10 Harpy is something I'm looking for. Haven't been successful but I also haven't put too much effort in to it. I'm still saving beans for the Perrin &amp; Salsa Ti. <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle> Because the G-10 Harpy is already scarce, and probably at a premium price, it would be third on my list.

Lastly, would be the Military. It's in current production and is widely available. Good news for combo edge fans. This year, the Military, Police &amp; Endura will be available with a combo edge. I hope to pick up one of each.

Good luck in your Spydie quest.

[SpyderNut]

Thank you, men! (And Kahz!<img src="tongue.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>)

Drum roll, please:

I just ordered the Mouse from BladeTech.com for $74 dollars. I came to the conclusion of getting this one first because I saw a place where I could get the G-10 Harpy for $69 and the Starmate for $94. I will be getting these right after the &quot;Big Brown Truck&quot; passes my house with the Mouse.<img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle> You are all right: I DO need them all!<img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle><img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>
Thanks everyone!<img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle><img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle><img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

BTW Jaxon, I DID have another &quot;incident&quot; the other day. Strange that you mention that....
I was out with my chainsaw trimming up some fallen brances when I had the bar come back and take a notch out of my left boot. Oops! Thank heaven for heavy-soled boots!

~Spydernut<img src="tongue.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

[sam the man..]

Aaaaaah, the Mouse at last.. This is one SWEEET, SWEEEEEEEET knife that every Spydernut should have along with the Large and small Wegner! <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle> Bravo Spydernut, you have done well! <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

[Rookie]

**looking at spydernut** Dude, where is all the money coming from? How many Spydies do you have? Congrats on a nice buy.

In the land of knives, Spyderco is king.

[Sword and Shield]

Rookie- Maybe that was Spydernut's kidney I saw on eBay a few weeks back...

As for the Mouse, I definitely will be getting one, and soon. This time of year does tend to empty one's pockets, though...<img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

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

[bell]

Good choice. You gonna need more pockets!

Jaxon: Good signature.

[Kahz]

Great choice!!!! <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle> So, Lsaulog, where is that double space Mouse review I asked for???? <img src="tongue.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

SpyderNut, have you decided what your next purchase will be? <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle> Hee, hee...

Kahz, Mouse's #1 Fan!

[jaxon]

Thanks Bell<img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>. We OK dude? I'm happy. Soon be Friday and I've got a Micarta Jester comin'<img src="tongue.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>. Come on UPS.
Jaxon

Weekend yet?

[Hoosierdaddy]

SpyderNut,

Get the G-10 Harpy, I didn't realize they are so rare. I guess I'm going to have to make mine an &quot;EDS&quot; (every day storage)... Just kidding <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

If you get a Military get the ATS 34, I like these better than the 440 V.

Can't comment on the Starmate or Mouse, although I do want a Starmate... someday!

Sharp1,

Are those lottery numbers? I see you got the &quot;Mega&quot; number! If I use those and win do I have to split it with you? For those outside California our state lottery is 135 mil. and no one got it on Wed. Sat. lottery is expected to be 170 to 175 mil. So all you &quot;out of towners&quot; stay home and don't play &quot;our&quot; lottery, cause I don't want to change my odds from 1 in 18 mil. to 1 in 18 mil. and 1. Hell I was only six numbers off (all six) <img src="tongue.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>
That would sure buy an awful lot of Spydies!

[Lsaulog]

Great choice SpyderNut. Hope all goes well with your hunt for the Big Brown Truck. They can be quite elusive!

*looks around frantically, feeling guilty*

Hi Kahz,

Uh, I know I put here somewhere, ummm, I think I left it on my uh, other computer, yeah, that's it. <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

I know, I know. Baaaad, Lsaulog. I've got some free time this weekend so I'll be sure to post my thesis on the Mouse real soon. Funny, I just noticed that you and I recommended the same knives in the same order. <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle> How's your studying going? Hopefully well.

"Hope for the best. Be prepared for the worst. You'll never be disappointed."

[bell]

Jaxon:
We good Jaxon. Hope you enjoy the Jester. Micarta is awesome, especially the nice &quot;snick&quot; it produces on come-out.

[SpyderNut]

Hello all!

Yes, I do miss my kidney....*winks at Sword and Shield*<img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle> but, it sure was worth it! Hee hee!<img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

Rookie:
Well bro, I usually &quot;acquire&quot; my funds by working hard, long, grueling hours for my boss in construction. In fact, today was payday! Yippee!<img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle><img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle><img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>
We do a lot of remodeling of semi-new houses that were repo'ed by the bank, fix them up, and then my boss sells them for a reasonable price. I get payed well because I'm a &quot;sub-boss&quot;, which means that I am over some of the apprentice workers that we hire.
There is a down side: We sometimes have to work 12 hour days, 6 days a week....(but not too often<img src="tongue.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>)

Kahz,
Hmmmm....You know, I believe that I might go ahead and get the Starmate while I'm waiting for my &quot;little buddy&quot; to come in!
*rubbing hands together*
Hee hee!

Well, I'd better get some sleep before I doze off...zzzzzz<img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

~Spydernut

[Sword and Shield]

Spydernut, I understand your bind, and your loss. I currently am trapped between a Mouse, Meerkat or Salsa as my next acquisition. Each has its high points for me, making deciding very difficult.

If anyone out there in Spyderland has all 3, any input on pros and cons would be greatly appreciated. Help me....I'm trapped in indecision....<img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

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

[SpyderNut]

Maybe this will help you out:

I know that my own indecision normally gets the better of me, unless I employ &quot;Basic Logic&quot; with my knife purchases.
For starters, I would think you should go ahead and get the Mouse. Why?
Although more expensive, get this one first because I've heard that its being put out of production. I ordered mine from BladeTech.com for $74 bucks. The Meerkat is new, so it will be around for a while. Ditto the Salsa. Now, there wouldn't be anything wrong with you putting a Meerkat AND a Salsa on layaway, if you want.<img src="tongue.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>
I plan on getting a Starmate in the near future.

Good luck, dude!
