What would be the most 'niche' or 'out there' Sprint possible?
Re: What would be the most 'niche' or 'out there' Sprint possible?
Yes but the question was niche within a niche within a niche! One that Spyderco would never run due to its nichieness, but one that you would buy (or at least be interested in). So maybe you just needed to get more specific, like: khalsa, with an unclad superblue blade, and a full Ti framelock.
Although some of the designs I saw at Amsterdam convinced me that Spyderco is not as afraid of niches as even we think. The Tighe Stick is quite a niche knife, and they weren't afraid to release that one!
Also, what's a "joke market?"

Ohh How about a PM2 in a "Bug" size with ZDP-189 :D
Re: What would be the most 'niche' or 'out there' Sprint possible?
You might want to at least make it interesting. How about Stepped Titanium with Yellow Anodizing.Surfingringo wrote:I don't have anything super wild or exotic on my wish list but I'd sure be happy to see a yellow salt version of the Military.
Now, it would be super cool if you could alternate colors and have yellow and red. :D

A Titanium scaled, Solid Blade S sounds Niche enough to me.
I would be in for almost any Captain sprint.

Speaking of Niche... all you need is a Spyder shaped sprint run of these in yellow with a rust proof lanyard. :)Surfingringo wrote:Yikes, that would hurt too much when I dropped it in the ocean. :eek:Donut wrote:You might want to at least make it interesting.

And a landing net, which he probably already has :)

How about a S110v bladed, comp locked Honeybee?
Re: What would be the most 'niche' or 'out there' Sprint possible?
Not very hard to imagine but technically not likely to ever happen, The Native 5 in "Superblue-grey" FRN with Superblue blade.. :D
And then off course there would be some other Golden made blades a lot of people would love to see in a similar cooperation with Japan.

Gotcha,
I would say a Slysz Bowie in non-coated Super Blue with a backspace the same color as the frn superbly color...nice and bumpy like the techno backspace
Re: What would be the most 'niche' or 'out there' Sprint possible?
How about a blackwood carbon fiber handled Nilakka with a smaller-carbide stainless or carbon steel. RWL-34, B70P, or 52100 would do nicely.
A damascus Whale Rescue blade sounds like the absolute most niche Sprint Run suggested so far.

On second thought a laminated super blue C46 lum tanto w/ anso style bamboo scales would be nice! Maybe even lacquered...

OK, I'll take a Spydersaw in CPM 3V with a fluted titanium handle.

Centofante IV with burgundy G10 scales, a compression lock, and flat ground S30v steel would be nice to see.
But, for the most "niche", I'd say Surfingringo's suggested yellow salt version of the millie would be about as niche as anything.
