demoncase Posted August 5, 2012 Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 It's funny, I'm not really a spyderco fan either, but... That is also hideous! I see their practicality, but I don't really like many. Except the native. I like that. Fine with that- More for me Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Horsem4n Posted August 5, 2012 Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 Finally got my hands on a nice box cutter. Spent forever deciding on which expensive knife I wanted for no real reason. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

shmook Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 I know, but it's still one hell of an impressive collection! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WhiteHawksan Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 Nowhere NEAR! You should send that off to spyderco, see if they'll send you some of the rarer models or something for your customer loyalty Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tinkerton Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 I've seen a bigger spyderco collection than that. Had a few of the mule team fixed blades and everything, inc a full set of insect slipits (ladbug, grasshopper, etc etc) Dont get me wrong, they appear to be nice enough knives, but i wouldnt want that many...

Danke Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 After you cross the tipping point it gets easier. Just get a few at a time and it'll add up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FireKnife Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 Quoted for truth- you start off with a couple, then turn around around you've got 40 odd... We all airsoft, we all know this one way, way, way too well I am sure one day in the future i will look back and ask 'why have i had so many pistols' and the answer will be 'because i could' or 'beacuse i like pistols in general'.

Aitch Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 There's only one reason I've owned so many pistols over the years, I can't afford to keep up with new ones released so sell one buy new one rinse repeat, I'd be embarassed to list what I have owned and let go over the years but it makes 53 look tame, that and my list includes very little clone POS I only have 15 or so knives, maybe 20 and most are movie replicas which are useless other than to look at, but I have my eye on a new folder, ZT or Strider, or one of the ZT/Strider customs, knife for life kinda thing, if I forgoe pistol building for a month or two Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WhiteHawksan Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 , if I forgoe pistol building for a month or two or food. Then you can do both. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shmook Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 (edited) I think Striders are truly gorgeous knives, but the price seems way too much to me for what you get. I could probably justify a ZT, but a strider? No. I appreciate it's a personal thing, and I will usually spend on something I like, but couldn't justify one...

Aitch Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 I prefer my buck strider 888 over any of the strider offerings, it was a whopping $80 years ago so I'm fancying the ZT/Strider custom, although I may just go for the Strider SNG it's less than building a GBB for me, and I've enough full metal 1911 for each day of the week now Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Danke Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 The Buck Stirders are a bargin. Hard to find out of the USA. If I was getting a new ZT knife I would really be drawn to this. http://www.kershawknives.com/productdetails.php?id=745&brand=zt Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AliceHKfan Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 Drake, I heard there is a bunch of blade play since the frame lock is so long, I do like the features on it, but they really should've incorporated them into the 0550 which has no lock play. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Danke Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 (edited) Do you think the lock is just not swinging in far enough? I noticed that on one Ti scale knife I have that I have to thumb the lock toward the opposite scale to get a sold feel on the blade. Oh and as an edit it's the fipper on the blade I really like. I think that's a favorite way for me to open a folder. Edited August 9, 2012 by Danke Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FireKnife Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 my list includes very little clone POS Considering that you started collecting before the clone craze i can well believe it, plus not that many of mine are bad clones, in fact some of the worst are originals, not clones Though i know i can't start collecting knives, it would be more money being spent and unlike my airsoft pistols the knives i would like (big fan of fixed blade, not this whole folding and locking stuff) can only really be excused if you are camping and trekking all the time and i don't have the time for that at all with my job 'FireKnife' Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shmook Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 (edited) The buck striders are hard to find due to them being discontinued I believe? Wasn't there a falling out over something? Can't remember. Anyway, I would love an SMF, but te price puts me off. DPX HEST folder too, but £200 for a knife I won't use much seems silly to me. Can't EDC it, too nice for a work beater, and I don't get outdoors enough to use it there either! Edited August 9, 2012 by shmook Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Can't EDC it, too nice for a work beater, and I don't get outdoors enough to use it there either! ...Add to that there has been more than a few reports of the HEST folder not being everything it's marketing portrayed it to be- a distinct lack of robustness in the pivot and locking was reported on the British Blades forum, and some resulting dummys out of prams. Dunno if they've fixed that and it was a 'version 1' issue or summat Edited August 9, 2012 by demoncase Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shmook Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 I read too that the 'version1' had issues, but thought they were resolved in the second try Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AliceHKfan Posted August 12, 2012 Report Share Posted August 12, 2012 Drake, its the sheer length of the cut out of the lock (stolen pic from the internets) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Danke Posted August 12, 2012 Report Share Posted August 12, 2012 I'll just buy a real Hinderer then and the kids will have an Imagination christmas. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
