Hi guys went today to my local knife and gun shop here in my home town and did find some Spyderco Pride knives I think 4 of them: USA, Canada, France, UK I know that they are a long time discontinued model and that the MSRP was I think 49,99 USD my question is what is today’s collector's value of this knife I did find just one on ebay with a fix price of 175 USD are they really so valuable ? Just for the compassion the dealer sells them for around 70 UDS I did the exchange from EURO (1,4). Thank you guys please share your opinions. 

Some of my new spiderco knifes that I have added to my collection in the

past month.

My Knife Collection: New Entry

Spyderco C28PGRE2 Dragonfly 2 II Plain ZDP189 - Custom modified version

LOL!  A DragonGnat!  LOL!  I love it.  Save a good knife is what I say.  I found a Benchmade Stryker auto in the market place is As Sulaymaniyah, Iraq.  The blade tip had been broken off.  When I returned home I sent this knife to Benchmade who fixed it up with a new blade.  Good people.

I like to buy old knives (mainly Case) on ebay and clean them up and put them back to work.  I like it Ratrik.

I think I have shown all the Spyderco's that I have. I sure do like them and all the pictures that are posted here. Anyone had any new knives lately? I would enjoy seeing pics posted.

Perfect Blade and handle Chris.

Here are some of my spyderco FRN that i have sharpened the other day.

Patrik...

Very nice my friend.  I toured the spyderco factory in February of 2010 for the purpose of writing an article.  Spyderco has a very modern factory with lasers and all.  The employees were very nice and helpful with my questions.  Spyderco has the best quality you could ever expect from a production line knife.  Good people.

It is that level of commitment, hard/precise craftsmanship and quality combined with blades from Seki city there making spyderco knives a master piece every one of them from the ultra high end expensive ones to the ultra low budget byrd line and there for a large part of my collection is dedicated to spyderco knives a big thank you to Master Sall Glesser. I hope he will stay a long time here with us. 

Patrik...

Great pic.  This is a great knife and very functional.  I have tested and wrote about this model.  Thanks for the pic.

Clint

It is always a pleasure to share some nice pictures with fellow knife collectors and friend here. Hope that Delica Emerson opener will be soon in my hand then I will make more pictures with both of them. 

Great pics, guys. I like the blade on that endura 4 emerson, Patrik.

Hello friends so my Delica 4 Emerson arived today so the Emerson duo is complete.

Love the blade highly recommend get one if you don't have one.

Hey Spydie Friends!!

Here is my recent purchase The Cricket. I wanted to try this knife for a long time.

Hi Billy The bug is a excelent choice for a key-chain knife if you don't want to pay extra for a Lady bug. I also gave some of to friends and family.

Cool knives Patrik.  Let me know how you like the Cricket.

After a week of use I can say it is absolutely nice small knife/money clip. It is nice slim profile looking for the FRN version with a liner lock because the SS is just very smooth and sometimes little bit problematic to open but aside of this it is has smoth opening nice solid frame lock . I don't like just one thing and that is the price there for I did buy this one used. Did some ceramic sticks magic and that blade configuration is just so efficient and razor sharp. 

That would be perfect I think a G10 Cricket would be perfect.

And I can't wait for the 2012 sprint run offers to be available.

They are perfect. 

Patrik...

Yes I have the Spyderco sharpening rods which makes it nice to get at the serrated edge.  Thanks Patrik.

Here comes the bug.

Oh, my wife claimed this one also to go with her mini's.

Hi Billy the bug is an outstanding keychain knife maybe little bit expensive for what it is but spyderco quality is there and you can rely on it. 

My new (old) Delica 3 (I Think) arrived yesterday this knife is almost 14 years old and was beat up pretty bad but after some hours of loving care some profiling, sharpening and cleaning and here is the final product.  I love that spyderco puts out products that withstand almost everything and even after more than a decade of hard use you can still bring it back to life and have the same level of performance like it was release yesterday from factory.

I need to get a Delica. I don't have one of those.

I highly recommend  the  Delica bud be warned if you buy one you will want more :)

Finally have time to do some photo organizing. Here are some of my Delica's. Out of all spyderco knives I highly recommend to start or have at least one.

Patrik....

Love the Delica.  I have have had several but given them to my son and nephews.  Here is a few Spydies I have.

Hi Billy you will not regret it !!

Hi Clint  thank you for sharing those nice pictures you have some extreme nice selection of fixed spydies ! 

Hello friends got something disturbing to report.

Came today from work and id wathceed the new produkt vid from blade HQ

In that vid was a new spyderco knife with the name Matriarch 2.

I folow all new releases from spyderco and could not find this knife anywhere on the spyderco website, catalog or sprint run anouncment.

Maybe anybody has some infomramtion if yes plase share I suspecting that maybe this could be another China conterfait attempt to copy spyderco popular knives that are long time out of production.

Here is the vid : http://youtu.be/eemcCw5pZG8

 Here is the picture

Indeed it sounds ironic and sad that ones invention is not listed on the inventors main source of information. Time will tell sooner or later.

Patrik.....

I called Spyderco Marketing and talked to Nikol who is Joyce's assistant.  She told me the Matriarch knife of which you speak is brand new and not out on the market therefore not in their catalog.  She was surprised BladeHQ had one as they have not been released.  My guess Michael sent them one.  I watched the video and I can tell you the knife in the video is a genuine Spyderco.  I have experience in the bogus knives with my traveling from one hell hole to the next. 

Patrik I appreciate your spotting this.  It is always good to keep an eye out for the fakes and let your brother and sister knife collectors to be on the caution.  I for one appreciate your vigilance.

Thank you Clint This this is what I wanted to read. I appreciate your proactive action and calling them. I'm proud of my spyderco collection and i feel personally responsible to maintain a pristine quality track record for all spyderco knives it would be a blow if some fake, counterfeit spyderco clones would damage the name and reputation of the company usually people don't know (or don't care) that they buy fake knives. Nowadays all that maters is the right price but quality costs some extra. The man and woman at spyderco they don't cut corners they are on spot and they working hard to deliver the final product with the most best quality possible.  As I trust   this company and are willing to pay not a small amount of money to them I want to be sure that I get the level of quality for that I have pay for. We live in troubled times the China made copy's are flooding the world. It is up to us to do something.  There for I invest my free time to be  informed I scan trough eBay and other online mega web stores and auctions to spot and report if I found something that is suspicious. So i try to do my part to preserve what is god and trustworthy. We have the knowledge we have the power   to not use it is the same as like to support all those who want to rip us off.  I cant allow that i hope we all agree on that. 

Clint one more observation. I dont know what is doing the marketing or shipping department at spyderco but blade HQ is not the only one who has them on sale right now and I can tell that is no just one presentation piece they had more of them and they are sold out.

Patrik....

Good question.  However, Marketing knows what is on the market and what is not.  BladeHQ shows the Matriarch 2 but shows out of stock.  My be is knife center shows the knife but will tell you it will be in any day.  I tried to call them but they were closed.

Yes I know that tactic sparkling the interest of the customers and then put them on back-order. But a read in the comments that on blade HQ they were sold out in 5 hours after listing  them on the site.  Who knows what is going really  on. We will see in a few day. Thank you for your help.

A salesman at The Knife Center said he had a few of the Spyderco Matriarch 2 from the Premier shipment and some from a friend who is a member of the Spyderco Family.  In talking to him for a while, the cop kicked in and I was smelling Tuna.

Thanks for the offer Keijo it would be sweet from you to buy me one but I could not accept it.  I do not have a problem to believe that it is a original spyderco I'm just sharing my opinion so that nobody does to have be a victim of possible fraud. Clint did speak with a spyderco representative and they conformed it so it is closed deal. BTW mysecond spyderco matriarch sprint run with brown FRN and plane edge if on his way I hope to receive it the next weak so I can share some nice pictures with both matriarch that I will own.
