Bitten by the BUG !

Hi all, Well My first Spyderco years ago was a BYRD has been a great knife. Not sure why I never got "INTO" collecting them. About 2 weeks ago I attained the P'KAL, I just love the look of the knife, the post on top of the blade (Emerson wave) Deployment device made the knife look futuristic in nature. Being from a engineering background the milling of this post and attaching to the top of blade via screwing in seemed attractive to me personaly, besides adding lightning fast deployment of the blade upon removal from pocket. It has takin a bit of time but I have become comfortable with the "fast draw" Comfortable in pocket, nice slim clean design..

Enough about the P'KAL ! But it has renewed my interest for Spyderco's products. And I have my eyes on a couple more as time and finances allow..

What was it about Spyderco that BIT you ? Design ? Abilitys ? ETC ?

The P'Kal >>>

Agreed they do work well at tasks at hand. The P'Kal gets very little use as a EDC, but is ready at hand if needed for a defence weapon. Thanks for your reply ..

Welcome the addiction, Glenn. I remember that when I first got into knives, I was fascinated by the anti-rust properties of H1 steel. Needless to say, I got a Salt 1 and loved it. Now my Spydie collection has grown and will continue to do so. We need a Spydies Anonymous group or something ...
