Thanks for the update Sal! I can't wait to add another dragonfly to the hoard (hint hint!) :D

Re: Sal, a question re: the Superblue FRN sprints
I wonder what color it will be and what it will be laminated with.

Colour wise maybe white then people can rit dye them theirselves?
Personally I love orange but as there's already a orange Endura I'd like to see a new colour or white..

Re: Sal, a question re: the Superblue FRN sprints
How about something in a dark orange? Burnt umber. Kind of a rust color.

Burnt orange is what I said in the bombshell thread. Great minds think alike.Surfingringo wrote:How about something in a dark orange? Burnt umber. Kind of a rust color.

Sal, can you get the hardness that sets the steel apart when it's laminated? I know those Cobalt HSS's need some pretty high temps and have wondered how it would work out.
BTW, I'm an Endura guy since 92 so this really sounds good to me.
Thank you.

Re: Sal, a question re: the Superblue FRN sprints
We think we'd like to do a sprint of the entire Endura/Stretch/Delica...line like we did with the SuperBlue. It does get very sharp and tested well in the lab for edge retention. (CATRA) We're working on a color for the run.

One more vote here! That would be a great color.Surfingringo wrote:How about something in a dark orange? Burnt umber. Kind of a rust color.

Re: Sal, a question re: the Superblue FRN sprints
Please consider charcoal/graphite grey. Slate greyish blue? The best options deserving of this steel release imo. Im not suggesting grey that is anything close to the VG10 and SB versions by the way.

Re: Sal, a question re: the Superblue FRN sprints
Just a thought, Sal mentioned he might do a Delica sprint in smurf blue G-10, how about using the HAP 40 in the same run?
Re: Sal, a question re: the Superblue FRN sprints
The amberish burnt orange would look brilliant, Mother vote for that here :D

Re: Sal, a question re: the Superblue FRN sprints
A lot votes for burnt orange... The question for Spyderco becomes, what if HAP40 becomes a staple like ZDp189? Will burnt orange be for everyone? Im not sure that it will work for the masses if HAP40 becomes desirable as a steel option. It may work if it eventually gets changed to another color, kind of like what happened to the powder blue-BRG ZDP's.
Really though, graphite grey maybe with a bluish tint similar to the Wave Delica Endura would be my vote.

Re: Sal, a question re: the Superblue FRN sprints
Is this HAP40 a stainless steel? Tool steel?

Re: Sal, a question re: the Superblue FRN sprints
Not sure what you are envisioning but I'm thinking of burnt orange as a pretty neutral color. Kind of an earthy brownish orange. I don't think it would be something that would put folks off.Dabblerinred wrote:A lot votes for burnt orange... The question for Spyderco becomes, what if HAP40 becomes a staple like ZDp189?

Re: Sal, a question re: the Superblue FRN sprints
I would like a color besides another shade of grey. After a copper or burnt orange color my next choice would be a burgundy, plum or black cherry type of color. I would still rather see a the burnt orange. It does seem as though the burnt orange color has gotten some positive responses. We shall see. :-)
