Dream knife
Lets dream about our perfect knife,because we know with Spyderco dreams do came true,sometimes.It has to be a knife Spyderco never produced.
Mine will be an XL fixed blade Dragonfly.Roughly the size of a Mule,with a bit slender,ffg blade,full tang,same handle ergos as the folder,S30V steel,cobalt blue micarta scales.A brown leather sheat with a dragonfly stamped on it,set for horizontal carry.

Whenever there is any doubt, there is no doubt.

Re: Dream knife
Plain titanium Endura with Cruwear/3V/4V at rc 62-3 for $200 or less. :) That's a knife I can retire with in style.
Maybe a 10v Manix back lock at rc 63.

Re: Dream knife
That's a hard question but I'd love a knife to replace my much missed Gerber Pixie.
Nothing fancy, something like 1/16" x 7/16", parallel stock VG-10 at least for the blade, FRN handle (not black) and light kydex sheath.
I wouldn't turn my nose up at a drop point version of the Sprig with thinner stock Maxamet and red or burgundy micarta handle either. :rolleyes:

Re: Dream knife
A chopper.
In the Spyderco showroom they have 4 bladesports knives from competitors they have sponsored. I was able to handle them all. Why don't we have a production version of any of them? The chopper market is huge right now. The Darn Dao looks great but seems to be geared more towards collectors. I like big knives around a pound with 9-10 inch blades.
Ed's knife is a kukri like knife and Gayle's knife (if I am remembering the right one) was a large Bowie in M4. Yes please!!!!
I would buy a production version of Gayle Bradleys knife or Ed Schempp's knife. I have a Schempp Rock and for me it is just too small for a kukri and the handle tears me up when trying to chop. I cannot handle much texture on a chopper handle.

Re: Dream knife
Chaparral in s110v or Maxamet would do for me. CF or RN scales to keep the price down. :)
Re: Dream knife
Basically a production Delica 4 Li'l Para compression lock with green, blue or black G10 scales and S90V. Then the same in blurple/S110V. Both with a deep-carry clip similar to the Casey Lynch design.
And bh49's CBBL Li'l Native sounds cool, as does the SpydieChef XL.

Re: Dream knife
I agree on the linerless contoured CF but make it a mini-manix with a blade around 2.5" and torx construction.. Oh and either a stonewashed XHP blade, or DLC the M4! :cool:abbazaba wrote:Linerless contoured CF Manix2 LW with M4
