I’ve lost the plot.
on: October 02, 2020, 08:09:50 PM
And gone spyderco crazy.
My recent endura CE purchase has triggered a relapse in my spyderco addiction. I have a manix 2, endura SE and military on order. The manix should be here next week, the other two are pre ordered pending Incoming stock.

I would like to replace my much used tenacious with something nicer but it refuses to give up, and I will probably die before it does.

My trouble is i never show initiative, but that's only because no one has told me to.

Looks like someone is getting ready for another round of Spyderco challenge.  :D

You can only "lose the plot" if you know what it is in the first place  :pok:

Moreover, you can't lose that which you do not have, except money; I've lost that sooo many times and it NEVER comes back...EVER  :ahhh :ahhh :ahhh :facepalm:
They don't like it up 'em!

It sounds like you've found the plot.

Spyderco is not my thing, and I've got drag-marks on my knuckles to support that opinion.

But, they're well made pieces. If you decide to minimize the collection later on, you should be able to get a fair bit of the money back.

The manix thats coming is all black and the military is digi camo with black blade. the endura ce is just standard satin as i could not find one with a black blade.

Next on my list is a para 3 lightweight all in black. i do love a black blade.

Those digi-camo Millies are pretty cool. Sort of a Jade G-10 with a camouflage over print. Neat effect.

And the Millie is a really great knife. Big, no doubt, but a great overall design and user.

I really like the Manix 2 as well. My 'fanciest' Spyderco is a Sprint-run Manix 2 that I got at the factory. "Burl micarta" scales and S90V steel. Quite a knife. I didn't like the feel of the clip, so I took that off. But I never like clips.

very nice indeed. i just discovered spydercos facebook page yesterday where they appear to anounce sprint runs and what US retailer they have made them for.
i will be monitoring it in future when funds allow.

Ordered a Spyderco Zome Green Endura in VG-10 direct from Spydie.

I'm wondering why 1) I don't already have this, and 2) if I really need anything else.....  :think:

I nearly bought one of these today from DLT as only black blade endura I could find.

There was a time when I would have argued that the Delica is the perfect EDC (and...it might be), but I'm partial to a slightly longer blade length.

 :D

I really like the size and feel of my new Endura. And as I can’t legally carry without good reason size is not a problem as it would mostly be used at home.

Grrrr...... An Endura is a pretty standard EDC here.  No different than an Opinel (which probably would get a second glance for its old-world charm.)
 Nobody would look twice......   :dunno:

I crumbled and bought a couple of those zome enduras from DLT trading.

Wether I regret it or not will depend on how hard I get spanked by uk custom and excise.

I went for the black blade option.
