Re: Fish Hunter

Sounds like time for another production run. H2 Steel this time around since the thin dagger profile needs extra toughness. Personally I would like to see a full double edge instead of the false edge for legal compliance, perhaps with the serrations on the spine. And a better scabbard. It sort of he...

Re: Partially Serrated CombinationEdge FRN Police Please? Anyone Else Want One??

You can always have the edge custom serrated at Willey Knives: https://willeyknives.com/ Seems a common recommendation on this forum, but no info of it on the website, but and are not many pictures of the result here on the forum. Also, I am a bit partial to the idea of the stock Spyderco partial s...

Partially Serrated CombinationEdge FRN Police Please? Anyone Else Want One??

Is there anyone else pining for a CombinationEdge FRN Police? Once again I am asking for a CombinationEdge Partially Serrated Police in a handle besides Stainless Steel. Last time I asked was long before the FRN Police, and during the era where there was the G-10 Police was for those who did not wa...

Re: Another run of Whale Rescue Blade is needed.

Has Spyderco ever released an actual machete?? I'd be very interested, use my Kershaw Camp 10 all the time. Would love a Spyderco! Darn Dao is the closest I know of, but that was of very limited production, and the Schempp Rock was next closest I know of. A Whale Rescue Blade (WRB) with a plainedge...

Another run of Whale Rescue Blade is needed.

Another run of Whale Rescue blade is needed. Here is a recent example of a modified Spyderco Salt blade standing in: https://www.instagram.com/noaasanctuaries/reel/C3bUo3HvNjm/ None have been available in the retail chain for years, and there are other uses besides the eponymous one.

Re: Police 4 lightweight

Nevermind the fancy steels, I want partially serrated! Yes, I know I am in the minority, but the all Stainless versions get it, and I do not like the lack of grip on those.

Re: Military...so much handle

I too wish the military had a little more blade for the existing handle, and agree it is on the large side. That said, I still love it and it has long been my primary EDC. This is hearsay, but from what I remember Sal saying (typing): Yes, gloved hands were one of the design criteria for the Militar...

Re: Serrata

So while the process has economies of scale for production, and I can partially understand why you would not want to make more, there has not been any smaller experimentations with other steels?

Re: Bob Lum Chinese Folder Light Weight: Is it time? Would you want it?

Hi SEF, The high cost of tooling for FRN would make the project questionable. sal Perhaps a compromise is in order. Use one of the existing FRN platforms, but use the Lum Folder blade shape. Or maybe even make a Byrd version in using one of the FRN platforms. Since Byrds are made in China, there is...

Re: Delica Detent

The "kick" on the Delica's blade is designed to bottom out against the lug of the lock bar, leaving space between the edge and the inside surface of the handle. Unlike many traditional back lock folders, the closed blade can't be squeezed into the handle to force the edge to make contact....

What about one with the standard blade and a wood saw, Sal ?
I think the new Dyad that Sal is developing would be a better platform for a regular blade plus a saw, since both blades will lock. Might not be much of a market for it however; the Catcherman handled saw did not last very long.

Re: How about a double edge dagger Spydie?

A double edged knife would restrict it's legality in some states and cities. The Sustain was supposed to be DE, but Sal wisely chose to allow the user to modify the false edge. Between the Sustain and the Fish Hunter, as the two most recent examples, it is pretty clear that Spyderco policy is to le...
