I think it’s more like 10 or 20 times a day. Nope, nope I’m sure it’s just once daily.

How does one go about accessing the pre-order? Shipping from the UK is surprisingly reasonable to Singapore.ChrisinHove wrote: ↑Wed Nov 29, 2023 12:48 amThe U.K. importer is offering pre-order on these with an anticipated release date of 22/01/24.
I haven’t pre-ordered anything since the Massdrop SuperGold debacle but I couldn’t resist this, as it’s long been a nearly-grail for me, for food prep /bbq.

You, Sir, are a gentleman and a scholar! I’ve managed to get one pre-ordered to a relative in the UK. I am as happy as a Sus ScrofaChrisinHove wrote: ↑Wed Nov 29, 2023 5:41 amJust hit the “Preorder” buttonJoviAl wrote: ↑Wed Nov 29, 2023 1:21 amHow does one go about accessing the pre-order?

Do keep in mind that the blade on the older AUS-8 Catcherman model was just a bit thicker than the MBS-26 and H-1 models. Albeit I never noticed any obvious disadvantages with the newer renditions of the Catcherman.Wartstein wrote: ↑Thu Nov 09, 2023 9:58 amJD and others who actually have experience with a Catcherman already:JD Spydo wrote: ↑Thu Nov 09, 2023 8:00 amVivi it absolutely amazed me when I started using my AUS-8, Full SE version of the Catcherman a few years ago for food applications. As you mentioned that extra edge length along with the blade geometry both are close to perfect for most food cutting chores I've encountered.
They thinned the blade quite a bit when they started using the MBS-26 steel over the AUS-8. But they are both great for kitchen chores. And when I bought my very first Catcherman way back in about 2004 I think it was I had no idea that it would be good for anything aside what it was mainly designed for ( filleting and field dressing fish).
It is amazing how so many of Spyderco's great models have so many uses for everyday chores.
It must be great (for a folder) for food prep indeed, but where are its limits when it comes to general EDC / outdoor use?
When does the blade perhaps get too fragile or to "flexy"?
What are the more or less reasonable folder tasks a Catcherman should better NOT be pressed into performing those?
For my EDC surf fishing knife, my choice is a full SE salt. For most other fish and game duties involving much slicing of flesh my preference is PE.......especially when it comes to filleting fish or skinning big game.JD Spydo wrote: ↑Fri Dec 08, 2023 2:38 amAgain I think it would be extremely important for the overall popularity of the Catcherman model for them to make a fully serrated version of it. Why they ever quit offering the Catcherman in full SE really baffles me. Especially as well as it performs with TEETH. My older AUS-8, full SE version ( late 90s) is probably my most used Spyderco blade I have ever owned and used.
I do believe that a full SE version with a blade made with LC200N would be great for the kitchen as well as hunting/fishing uses. I would also welcome a fixed blade version of the C-17 Catcherman as well.
Interesting video, although the real question I’ve come away with from watching it is - where is that guy’s accent from? Is it Irish, is it American, is it something else?!
I didn’t realise that was Cliff Stamp in the video. I see what people mean when they talk about his calm and measured delivery - a very pleasant counterpoint to the usual over the top reviews proliferating the internet these days.ChrisinHove wrote: ↑Sun Dec 10, 2023 11:30 amCliff Stamp RIP was from Newfoundland, I believe.
