Found the cure...

[Ted]

Got my Flat-Ground Large Chris Reeve Sebenza today in the mail. What a knife! This one should keep my cured sometime now. If it wasn't for the knife, it would be for the money and <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>'s I spend on it... ouch... but, no regret!

Anyway, my last Spyderco (famous words <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>) will arive soon (PE G-10 Standard) and then it should be enough...



...uuhh... anybody have an update on the para-military?



Till soon,

Seb's aren't too bad, I'll give ya that! <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> However, I simply can't justify a $300 &lt;i&gt;anything&lt;/i&gt; at this moment, much less a knife I can't beat the NFBSK out of.

Enjoy, we'll be waiting for your return! <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

Never underestimate the impossible.

Ted,

Congrats on the Sebbie but as you have just learned, the treatment can be worse than the disease!

Found the cure!!? Let's see your research on this. Remissions of this type often prove temporary in nature and the relapse is often more acute than the initial infection! Last Spyderco!? No such animal. Your denial is futile especially in light of your closing question!<img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> The Resplendent One (S&amp;S) and I eagerly await your return to the SATC.

&quot;Treatment of Spyderholism is futile! Use the Spyder, Ted! Give in to the Blue side!&quot;

Ted, I gotta go with Java on this one. I thought the same thing when I shelled out the hard earned bucks for my Sebenza. Read soo much about them, handled one and had to have it. I didn't buy any other folders for quite some time, almost a year. The fever comes back and the Sebenza is just one more knife in my EDC rotation.

I just love Spyderco products and I have almost given up on spending money on BM or other companies. They do sneek in from time to time but it isn't very often.

I think I want one but I haven't tried very hard to get one.I am afraid that I might get hooked on them and have to sell some body parts to feed the need.

Ted - Congrats on the aquisition of what must be one fine knife. I have never seen one (other than pics) so hopefully I am safe from that plunge for a while. Besides, I do have more spydies on my shopping list before I buy something that will bring me to financial ruin.
What am I talking about, Spyderco has already brought about my financial colapse, or perhaps I should say, brought my financial spending into a particularly sharp focus <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0><img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0><img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>.

Congrats on your purchase Ted....like others here, I too tried the Sebenza cure, and like Mr Watson jumped straight back to Spyderco!

[sam the man..]

A Sebenza.. Mmmmm... Almost as pricey as a handmade or custom knife.. Takes a lot to actually own one.. Especially when you have to pay four times as much! <img src="sad.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> I'll stick to my <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>s because they are worthier than some pricey knives.. <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

oooh, $#%^$#%$#^$#$#

...cursing un-cure-able spyderco bugs...

Just got my 'last' &lt;img src=&quot;spyder.gif&quot; width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0&gt;, a plain G-10 Standard in the mail. Had it on order before the Sebenza arrived...
And this is one fine knife!

Nice heavy and solid feel due to the steel liner, pointy blade, good grips. Low-profile tip-down carry with black clip.

Now of course I need to get a serrated one.

And since the frame/integral lock combined with titanium is so nice on the Sebenza, I also need to get a Ti Salsa <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>
