You need something prodigious for such an event. Something that scream "I am a complete nutter, and I am comfortable with that". May I suggest an overly large Rambo knife, or a sword!

@Aloha,

Yep, I love the smaller spydies, so I've put a few on my watching list. The Pingo is amnog them, of course. But no smaller than that as it'll get a bit useless for me. I've also got an orange Delica and don't remember what else. lol

@Chako

Btw, not a bad idea for when the new TWD episodes start and I watch them with a knife and a flashlight

(For the first time ever I'll watch TWD without worrying about my exams

Actually, I'll do everything for the first time ever without worrying about school

)

Dr Hunt, alllright, another person making me get a Spydie, goooood

All of you will be sooooo guilty for my next cut

Come join us. You'll never cut yourself with a Spyderco, they never come sharp, do not have a strong snap and noone ever plays with them

Did you ever get cut by your Spyderco?

N_N_R · **Reply #64 on:** July 28, 2015, 08:05:16 AM

So... this is what I have in my watch list currently. The seller is the guy who I bought my first Spydie from and I trust him, it was rapid shipping.

= Spyderco Pingo (ok this one only is from another seller), orange
= Spyderco Endura, orange
= Spyderco Tenacious, blue (but it's very similar to the Ambitious, just bigger, so probably no)
= Spyderco Persistence, blue (same issue)
= Spyderco Salt, yellow
= Spyderco Centofante
= Spyderco Dragonfly, orange (not so sure, juuust in case)
= Spyderco Delica, orange

Can anyone borrow me a million for just awhile?

Congratulations girl.

How about a Stretch or a UKPK?

ColoSwiss · **Reply #66 on:** July 28, 2015, 08:45:23 AM

For what its worth, my favorite Syderco is a Terzuola. Just feels right in my hand.

You might also check out the Benchmade Griptilians. Comes in several different sizes.

+1 Pingo Orange
+1 Endura Orange (emerson opener is fun, though stock is only in black scale)

You want a million to give all of us some Spydies?

P.S I have a missing parcel from The True North containing 3 Spyderco folders.

Hmmm... Suggestions...

Do you have a Laguiole knife yet?

Ooor somewhat cheaper: Opinel?

N_N_R · **Reply #70 on:** July 28, 2015, 01:07:26 PM

No, I don't, but I want a Spydie

An Opinel I did have, N7, green handle, but I sold it

N_N_R · **Reply #72 on:** July 28, 2015, 01:13:13 PM

Yyyeah, I have a Spyderco Ambitious, my only Spydie but I'm sold

bmot · **Reply #73 on:** July 28, 2015, 01:23:53 PM

Fair enough, then I vote for the Salt

I've wanted that for a while now, myself, never got to buying it yet.

N_N_R · **Reply #74 on:** July 28, 2015, 01:27:01 PM

@Zoid,

Yeah, I like the Stretch, it'll be a bit of a stretch for the budget, but oh well. I deserve it

I'll look and add it to the watch list on eBay, lol

@ColoSwiss,

The Terzuola also looks nice, but is again more expensive than I'd like.

Anyway, I may find it second hand even somewhere, good idea.

There are SOOOO many models I didn't even suspect existed.

I have to check the size of that one, though. I hope it's not too tiny

It always looked smaller to me, but hopefully it's larger than the "buggy" ones

Corwyn · **Reply #76 on:** July 28, 2015, 01:53:12 PM

Cut the Tenacious and Persistance from the list if you have an Ambitious. You desperately need a steel/quality upgrade.

My first was a Tenacious as well and I love it, but outgrew China and 8CR13MOV fast.

You NEED something from Seki City Japan or Colorado USA or both.

I always considered the Italian and Taiwan-made ones to be more collectible than user-ish, but if you prefer some models from there and can afford them, they are also a huge upgrade over the China ones.

N_N_R · **Reply #77 on:** July 28, 2015, 01:58:49 PM

Thanks for the advice Corwyn

Or this http://www.ebay.com/itm/Victorinox-Alox-0-2600-L1221-Cadet-5-Colours-Limited-Edition-/221831763413?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_77&hash=item33a63415d5

Or another beautiful SAK.

lol.

But. I somehow feel these pretty SAKs are mostly for collectors and I won't be getting as much work of such one as from a Spydie...

To compare with your Ambitious:

The Salt has 7,6cm blade, the Ambitious is 5,7cm. So the Salt is almost 2 cm longer

. Of course the Ambitious does have a somewhat wider bladeshape.

N_N_R · **Reply #79 on:** July 28, 2015, 02:58:48 PM

Thanks, bmot!

I do favour a longer blade, the width isn't that important for me, the Ambi can get a bit weird when cutting an apple, for example.

Right now I'm also kinda hesitating probably between an orange Endura or Delica... simply because the prices for which I can get them online aren't that much higher than if I buy them from BG. And even if they're cheaper, I never know if it won't get stuck in customs and I'll have to pay additional fees.

I do like the Pingo, but it's not available at home, it's again more expensive than the usual cheap crap, so it may also get stuck in customs.. and the thought of either of these getting lost somewhere drives me nuts.

bmot · **Reply #80 on:** July 28, 2015, 03:01:18 PM

On the Pingo: I have one, and really like it

But it's not so suitable for cutting apples, at least, with the short blade

I really like the bladeshape, though. Very useful when opening boxes.

N_N_R · **Reply #81 on:** July 28, 2015, 03:03:56 PM

Thanks for the vaulable info, bmot !

I've just asked the guy in the store to make a list with the available Spydercos .. because it's allllways like this: whatever I choose, a light or a knife, it's always sold out.

They make nice discounts for the members of a blade forum here and regular customers (like me)

There's always around 15% off, so it is often safer /in turns of customs and package losing/ to buy from there instead of eBay orders.

So I guess I'll see what's available there, I've given the guy a price range. He'll tell me what he has and I'll see...

dks · **Reply #82 on:** July 28, 2015, 03:07:09 PM

How about a MANLY knife from Sofia? Maybe they can customise or engrave one for you..

Or a wedding dress...

jerseydevil · **Reply #83 on:** July 28, 2015, 03:13:44 PM

I say get yourself a FFG Delica. Not too big, not too small, and a great slicer. Then again, that last might not be such a great idea for you, sering as you're attempting suicide via the slow version of the death of a thousand cuts......

N_N_R · **Reply #84 on:** July 28, 2015, 03:23:55 PM

Devil,

I've really been looking for a long time at the Delica and Endura. But I'm reallyyyy new to knives, so I don't know the first thing about them. Now I looked at these two on eBay, reading the specs and honestly, I could see no difference

Unless the listings were wrong, which I doubt.

So can someone please sum it up for me, what's the difference between teh Delica and the Endura? The steels, the lengths, the thicknesses, everything looks the same.

Mostly the Endura is a larger version of the Delica. Besides that they're quite similar. (Note: I don't have these so this is just what I get from random people on the internet

)
