So, might've mentioned I collect sharp things....Here's my little collection of Spydercos
One or two rarer models plus some limited and discontinued ones too.





I'll type up a full list if someone expresses an interest...just don't ask how much they add up to;)

Thanks!-

About 10 years ago I had an outdoors catalogue come through the door and there were Spyderco Delicas going for 1/3rd list price. I bought 2 as a treat to myself, thinking they'd be rubbish- plastic handle, pocket clip and the silly hole in the blade.

I was so suprised at the quality but that was it for the time- I spent 2 years using it at work without a grumble.....then I read Hannibal and a certain Dr Lecter, a man of impeccable tastes, is listed as holding the Spyderco Harpy and Civilian as his knives of choice....And I read the Spyderco webby- Sal Glesser is a man after my own heart in terms of materials science and his marketing approach- The product speaks for itself: no-one needs to make a silly DVD of fat men chopping up watermelons and car doors to appeal to the mall-ninja crowd, for example.
*coughCold Steelcough*

Things just kinda spiralled from there- I pick them up second hand whenever I see an interesting model.
Rarely I'll treat myself to a new one from Heinnie Hayes to celebrate something big.

Thing is- each one is a little gem of engineering, materials and design- with a purpose.

very impressive:) not got any spyderco myself, too expensive for the budget (that being said I do have some Tops knives, ops), got some gerbers, and some other stuff too though, nothing like a sharp pointy object to prick the interest (pun intended) ahahah

Cool collection...be neat to mount them in some kind of glass fronted case or wall mount.

Aha, that may stretch Wifely Understanding to breaking point....It's one thing to have a ever growing collection of pointy things, but her having to look at them every day in a revolving, underlit, display case may result in 'costly sanctions' involving my wallet taking a trip with her to the Cath Kidson shop.
