Newbie : Must Haves ?

[StevieK]

I just have to say how glad I am that a friend introduced me to the world of Spydies, I am very new to the world of knives and especially folders and just thought I would check in with the guys that seem to know their stuff, to get some opinions ! I already have a Native and am expecting a Pegasus to be delivered any day now, but I was just wondering where you guys think I should go next with my collection ? There's just so much choice ! <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle> So, as the title suggests, what would you say is the Must Have knife for a Spyderco Newbie ?

Howdy! I would humbly suggest a Wegner, Military, or Starmate for your next knife. (They're sort of the Big Three) Then you would have a large, medium, and small knife in your collection. That would also give you a wide variety of handle materials; steel, Zytel, and G-10. Plus, it would introduce you to the liner-lock mechanism.

Hi StevieK. Welcome to the Spyderco forum.

Do you plan on carrying and using these knives?

Hey, cheers for the replys guys ! Much appreciated.
Sal, I think I've got my everyday carries sorted (for now !) with the Native and the Pegasus, so maybe something a little different ?

welcome to the forums.

THE must have Spydie is the Wegner, followed by the Military.

How about a SpyderCard? Makes a great back up, in case you forget to stick one of your others in your pocket.
