Hello SpyderPeople!



I am now living in Toronto, and loving it! So, my next priority (aside from getting a job) is to find a good Spyderco dealer in the area. <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>



It's good to be back! So, what's news?



Kahz, Spyderlady Galore!

Welcome to the North (even if you are in Southern Ontario <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> ) Good Luck with the job hunt!

Good Spyderco dealers near Toronto? Maybe some of the S. Ontario members can make suggestions. The nearest good Spyderco dealer to me is the Knifetrader in Lansing Michigan - only 5 - 6 hours South <img src="sad.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

Welcome Back Kahz! <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

Have you tried the &quot;dealer search&quot; on the homepage of Spyderco.com? I'll give you a better reference for Spydies ( not in Canada ); try glasshartt (GlassHartt@AOL.com)
she has ( or can get ) Guntings ($90)mili's
($90)Lum Chinese ($115) or, on the &quot;low end&quot;
try a jester ($22) or a dragonfly ($30) or
cricket ($35) or Salsa ($50). Let her know Al Treat (me) sent you ; as for the forum, I guess the old axiom applies : &quot;The more things change, the more they remain the same&quot;
Keep'em flyin'!

The Lady Kahz hath returned! All hail and rejoice!!! <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

Welcome back, Kahz, things weren't the same without you. Much has happened since you vanished.

Several trolls, one of which has become a contributing forumite, appeared. ATE/AET was forced to sell off a large portion of his collection, including the Forum Vesuvius.

Overall, the forum has retained its brittle grip on sanity, and the SpyderAddicts Treatment Center &lt;sup&gt;TM&lt;/sup&gt; has been running full-bore. So, what's new up north with you?

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

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome! My Spydies are getting adjusted to the move just fine. <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

I see the SpyderBug has worked strong in my absence. My illness went into recession for a few weeks, but it seems to be coming back... Uh-oh... <img src="tongue.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

Kahz, your Uni classes didn't include telepathy, did they? After a while, and all the rave reviews, I officially succumbed to the madness and bought myself El Rat&#243;n!

Great little knife, and I've been keeping the hype up in your absence!

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

Kahz, although I haven't had any experience yet with Glasshartt up here, I'm giving her a shot this fall.

If you want a good dealer up here, great selection, reasonable prices(close to the US(site) prices, without exchange[ie Delica is $70]):

Welcome back Kahz! Check the Spyderco international dealers listings.I saw three dealers listed for Toronto.If you strike out there,we have a pretty good Spydie dealer here in the Buffalo,NY area.They usually have a fairly good selection on hand although not as good prices as Glasshartt.

Hi Kahz, Welcome to Canada! Although as I sit here in Edmonton we are 2,150 miles apart, I feel as though you're right next door.

I'm sure you'll have no trouble finding some good Spyderco dealers there in our nations capitol city. I hope you do, as there is nothing like having a local store in which you can browse Spydies...between purchases of them.

Cheers, Jeff/1911.

Carlos, the Folder is doing wonderful and sends you a hug, but it can bite! <img src="tongue.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> It's in great shape and I LOVE IT!

Thanks for the tips on sellers, everyone! *waving to all Canadian and U.S. neighbours*

Kahz,

Slowly, slowly. I've just about finished the foils (rudder and dagger board), it's taken a while but I'm pretty happy with the shape. There's still lots of epoxy to sand before I put the hull together but the rest of life keeps getting in the way (work, kids etc.) I'm taking 2 weeks long service leave in August to do nothing but boat building followed by a weeks skiing as a reward <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>.

How's the job hunting going?

Are you all settled in? I wish you the best of luck up there, and that you find a job soon. (Get your prioritys down frist, and find a Spydie dealer!!

Good to see ya' again, and take care!

Hello Kahz

Welcome to Toronto. There are a couple of Spyderco dealers up here. Marathon sports on King street east of Spadina has a good selection of spydercos but is expensive. S &amp; R Knives in the woodbine mall (Hwy 27 and Rexdale Blvd) has a good selection but is expensive...you can bargain them down to 20% less than the marked price usually...taxes included. LeBarons on Woodbine avenue in Markham (north of steeles) has a good if sporadic supply at reasonable prices.
A good thing to check out is the twice a year Canadian Knifemakers Guild show which is held near the airport.

Their website is http://www.ckg.org

Good luck with the job thing.

Kahz, gonna make a suggestion as you plan on living here... get a heavy coat. It gets mighty cold up here.

I know my cousin's wife was wearing a ski-doo suit the day after thier wedding(in october), and she only came from South Africa(Johanasburg(I know I butchered the spelling))...

(Or, has the Spydie Virus gotten so advanced in her system that she is too busy snapping up rare Spydies??) <img src="tongue.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0><img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0><img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

ya think?



There is no right way to do a wrong thing

SpyderNut
07-24-2002, 08:51 AM
Ah, a mere cure would be a very questionalble solution to the potent grip of the Spyderco Virus Syndrome (SVS). I believe that the cause for her non-attendence is due to a more subtle fact... Like maybe she was taken to the same place as our dear friend and often commentator Samo. <img src="sad.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> I do hope that no ill has befallen our friends and comrades in arms. (If so, I will give the traditional 10 Spydie Salute to honor the resting of these brave souls. <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>)

Keep the vigil, men...they couldn't have gone far! <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

Hey Kahz! Nice to see all the &quot;Ontarions&quot; come out of the dark. I am from Thunder Bay. I only buy my knives from S &amp; R Knives near Wodbine. I have been dealing there for five years. If you deal there often as I do...they will give you a deal. Good/fair prices. If you were to just walk in the door you would probably be charged lots. Ask for Shaun or Rodney. Tell them that you heard about them on the Spyderco Forum from Craig. They might work you a deal? I have found them to be the best. There are places downtown but they are expensive!!! But look for yourself I am just one of their happy customers. Hope you like Toronto, I know I did. I went to school there for a few years.

Hmmm, this situation is looking a mite serious now. I wonder where Kahz managed to run off to now? <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> Maybe if we take her Mouse captive and demand a ransom, she'll take notice and respond.....<img src="tongue.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> I dunno', but action must take place!
