Pathetic Plea to Sal : Ladybug Hawkbill FFG Plain-edge ZDP-189 Sprint

[Blerv]

Dear Sal,

I know this is firing on ALL cylinders of eccentric but would a sprint like this be economically feasible?

I’ve been dying to try a FFG thin hawkbill from Spyderco for some time. I adore my Superhawk and carry the VG10 serrated Ladybug Sprint often. If the Ladybug didn’t have the teeth I think it would be a more viable EDC for small tasks and appeal to a wider group of people. I think it would have a heckuva lot more bite per ounce than the standard drop-point assuming the user had any empathy for the thin hard tip.

Polls don’t seem very scientific but one is attached for fun.

Cheers,

[Blerv]

Or maybe VG10? I'm quick to sell out :D

[Spidey]

Not for me. A regular SpyderEge ZDP-189 Ladybug however and I'll take at least two. Yeah yeah I know the SE would involve a lesser hardness and ultimately lose its advantage but hey.


That or come up with one with another super steel, say S90V or M4 :)

Make it available with that blue color the Endura 4 currently comes in, and you got a bomb.

Hey Blerv,
I would love to have a pe hawk bill as mentioned.
I love the se ladybug hawk, and a companion would be suweet!
I'm this close >||< to pulling the trigger on a g10 pe byrd crossbill at my local dealer to go with my se g10 harpy.
Later,
Don

The Ladybug Hawkbill already as been offered as a sprint run in VG-10 with a black handle.

I've said it about a dozen times, i'll buy at least 3 of them if he makes a wharncliffe Ladybug/Manbug. VG10 is fine too.

Yeah, what do we need with belly on a knife that small?

[xceptnl]

I voted for multiple as long as they come in BRG, Orange or maybe White FRN.

[Clip]

I'd have to see it. Can someone do a quick mock-up?

[kbuzbee]

I'm in Blake, if it's CF. FRN - I'd have to think about it, but probably.

Great, GREAT idea!

[Bradley]

I'd be in for at least 1.

[bh49]

I will pass. I had couple Hawkbills in PE and wasn't impressed.

This thread is super pathetic. :)

I know, right??

Sal was teasing us with the idea of Ladybug sprints in another thread. I think it's a great idea. You can buy three of them and not have to sleep in the dog house for a week. :p

[Donut]

I voted that I'd buy one. I would like one.

It does seem like a good model.
