Spyderco Forums

Thanks. I already have a sage 1 and many dragonflies. The cat can be had for great prices though and I plan on having custom wood scales made for the cat. Figured it could be a fun project knife

KC to the rescue!! Jimped cat!!! (And a balance)

I thought jimping on the g10 models was a new thing.

GP Knives got back to me. They said none have jimping. There are g10 models w jimping, right? Why so hard to find?!? Maybe if I buy directly from Spyderco?

Now makes 6-7 popular dealers that said they do not have jimped cats. Most are under impression the jimping only exists on CF models. I am jimping or bust!!

Cricket today for me. Perfect office carry for slacks due to thinness. Now if they made a blue nishijin in SE

GP Knives: I purchased, at two different times, one with and one without jimping. Each time I called in my order and specified what I wanted (including an inspection of fit and finish). Both times I received exactly what I asked for. Thanks. I have an email in to them. Whichever dealer has a jimped...

The original CF run had jimping. When they released the black G10 model, it did not have jimping. If I am not mistaken, Spyderco recently modified the current Cat model and added jimping on both the spine and finger choil. I am in the market for a G10 version, and would prefer it with jimping if it ...

I have emailed 3 dealers and all have told me their Cats do not have jimping. Can somebody point me in direction of dealer who has Cats w spine/choil jimping?

I want to get a dragonfly g10 and swap the blades out, or have someone make wood scales for the SB dfly. Any recommendations on who makes wood handles for dragonflies?

Couldn't resist. Scooped a jester. Also grabbed a balance and cat. I love small guys!!

Freak it. I'll get both. Jester purchased. Lava on deck. Also scooped a balance and cat :-)

Thanks guys for letting me talk this through. Jester will remain near top of list but will hold off on this price point for now. Probably scoop a lava sooner than later. My brother has a g10 dragonfly so I can compare them both.

I love the look of the jester. But I paid around $80 for a G10 manbug. $120 shipped on the jester is mighty tough to get to. That is only thing holding me back. I contacted the dealer and said if they went down to MSRP, I'd take it. MSRP is $99. They denied it. If I spent $120 on the little jester, ...

Any more thoughts before I drunkily buy one?

This wouldn't be a "keychain" knife. I am in courthouses fairly often so have to watch what is on my keys.

Now I am debating between the dragonfly 2 g10 and the lava. The dfly is lighter, shorter closed, and longer blade. But I just find the lava strangely sexy. And sprints are fun. And ya.

Hahahaha killing me!!

Someone talk me into or out of the lava sprint.

Yep, but I only see one dealer with them and all of their prices are high. If the price wasn't so high and more inline w manbug g10, I wouldn't have made this thread bc I would've already bought it!! Lol
