Today'll be the day when I get free, either forever or until November :facepalm:
And tonight'll be the night of the beeer... either to celebrate or drown my sorrows, lol.
Will I be a Master... or not. This is the question.

Before all the crap happened earlier this month, I'd decided that after my graduation, I'd buy something more expensive and fun for myself, just so, for no reason, just to reward myself for all the effort. Later after the bad stuff you know about happened... I've kinda lost my desire to buy whatever and on top of everything I don't even think I need something or can choose something.
So ... do you have any ideas that can make me :drool: again? I'd bookmarked a ton of Spydies and some lights on ebay/local dealers.. but then dks & Eth sent me the Olight coolness, so I can skip the flashlight stuff and focus on sharp edges... :think:
Months ago I had a thread where I asked for your advice to tell me what SAK to buy, of course I bought none back then :facepalm: So now it may turn out to be the same.. after all your effort and attention, I may again not buy anything, but it'll be at least fun :pok:
Or I could just go for a book on Battery Education for Beginners :D

Seems like there are many who like the smaller Spydies so maybe one of those. If you are looking for a larger knife I really like the Tenacious ( price to value ) however for my money I'm a fan of the Native.

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

Post by: N_N_R 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
:think: Can anyone borrow me a million for just awhile?

@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.
Post by: N_N_R on July 28, 2015, 01:28:19 PM
Fair enough, then I vote for the Salt :D I've wanted that for a while now, myself, never got to buying it yet.
I have to check the size of that one, though. I hope it's not too tiny :D
It always looked smaller to me, but hopefully it's larger than the "buggy" ones :D
Post by: Corwyn on July 28, 2015, 01:53:12 PM
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.

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.
Post by: N_N_R on July 28, 2015, 02:58:48 PM
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.
Post by: bmot on July 28, 2015, 03:01:18 PM
I really like the bladeshape, though. Very useful when opening boxes.
Post by: N_N_R 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) :D 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...

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 :think: 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 :P )
Links, for the stats:
Delica on the Spydie website (https://www.spyderco.com/catalog/details.php?product=209)
Endura on the Spydie website (http://www.spyderco.com/catalog/details.php?product=208)

Congratulations!

A Delica is brilliant too.
It turns out that guy here doesn't have Delicas aaaaaaaat all. Although there are whatnot versions listed on the site. SMURF.
Then he offered me some insanely high price for some Endura, so I assume it's some weird more expensive model.
It seems I'll have to order from abroad again and hope for the parcel to arrive and not get lost or stuck in customs :salute:
I've also looked at the Paralimitary, but maybe it's a bit too bigger than I'd like my next knife to be :)

Ok, the Endura is out of the list, too. It's toooo huge. 12,7cm sounded rather long, but now that I saw a guy with a big hand hold an Endura.... it's enormous.
Oddly I feel very comfortable with Endura's size. Delica on the other hand simply has a too small handle for my hand. Exact reason why my Farmer has kicked the Sage 1 as the most carried folder in my rotation

Maybe it's not odd, you're a guy after all, you're probably ... bigger overall :D
So, on the list already:
= Pingo, orange
= Spyderco Spy-DK, orange
= Native (not sure)
.....
The Salt also turned out to be biggish ... I just hadn't looked at their sizes so far, I was lost in the huge variety of models, so I was looking for something I LIKE. lol
So, the Pingo and the Spy - DK can't be opened with one hand, otherwise they're cooool. The only advantage the Native has is the OHO. So.... it'll probably still be the Pingo.
We'll see :D Still looking.
@firiki,
Yeah, I want a Spydie for some reason, though. Thanks :D

Well OK, if that's what you really want. I'm just saying good fixed blade knives hold a certain allure I cannot describe :whistle:

I've been looking at a Victorinox Sentinel OHO for ages...
I love the colour of the Hunter XT, too, orange.
I wanted to have a OHO, corkscrew and a bottle opener, but nothing matches, lol.
But if it's gonna be the Sentinel or the Hunter XT... neither has a bottle opener, the Hunter has at least a corkscrew and is orange...

The Salt is same as previous gen of Delica so shouldn't be too big, the Pacific Salt however is same as Endura. Or you could always go for a Tasman salt. :D Although I would not get a salt unless you really need something that doesn't rust.

Mistress NNR using a flashlight... on someone who's been bad.... That's a little hardcore.
And I'm sure that if you ask nicely, some one will help you with shipping something that isn't normally available there.

Did you shave your arms? :think: Nice watch buddy. :tu:

I actually do have an HID 85W light which is similar in length to the one pictured, but thicker :D

I loooooked at whatnot online stores here, nobody has a Pingo, gr. Or another one I like.
I've been looking at a Victorinox Sentinel OHO for ages...

Psst, there's a OH Nomad with bottle opener (the strong locking one), OH blade, and corkscrew :pok:
It's one of my favourite SAK's, actually :) . Doesn't come in orange though...

And Why isn't there that Rescue Tool / whatever it was called/, the nice bright yellow one, with a normal blade. They all seem to be serrated or half serrated/half plan/half something else. Don't rescuers need to cut normal stuff.

Yeah, the Nomads I've seen aren't OHO :think:

Not a rescuer, but I'd imagine most of their tasks are to cut clothes, ropes and seatbelts, and for all of these, a serrated blade is better.
Also a serrated blade will last far-far more before requiring resharpening than a straight edge, which is nice for a rescuer who doesn't have the time/skills/interest to spent time honing blades or who has a 50-car pile-up where he can't stop and strop the blade.
The biggest disadvantage of serrated is that once it gets dull, it's a nightmare to get back in shape...

Did you try the Uk, De and Cz webshops? No customs and fast shipping...

Btw. That BG dealer doesn't have a Maxped. Fatty either :rofl: I wonder why the smurf they upload stuff on their site since there's always anything I like and want.
