Re: Spyderco Models We Need In FULL SE

While the initial release of the ARK was PE only, a fully serrated version was produced (and then discontinued). Outstanding little cutter. I would most definitely love to see a Serrated version of the ARK model. That would be one interesting hard use blade in SE. The ARK is one of at least 15 mode...

Re: G-10 Hawkbill Anyone?

I'd go for a g10 spyderhawk Yes indeed!! and I wouldn't want to stop at the Spyderhawk model. I have such good memories of my G-10 Harpy and have been wanting another G-10 Harpy ever since mine got stolen. And I can't understand why there hasn't been more G-10 Harpy models since then. It is one of ...

Re: CRUWEAR Is now my Favorite SE blade steel

I really like my SE Ayoob, but I LOVE my Cru-wear Manix 2 sprint run, a serrated Cru-Wear Manix would be an instant buy for me, maybe two of them! IMG_3571.jpeg A full SE Manix in Cruwear makes a ton of common sense. Another Eric Glesser design I would love to see in Cruwear SE would be the Dodo mo...

Re: CRUWEAR Is now my Favorite SE blade steel

Would love to try it! Think we can get it in a full production model? Hamilton I have raised that issue on several occasions. I know that Spyderco typically doesn't like the re-release older models. But the C-60 Ayoob is an exception as far as overall design and ergonomics are concerned. It's most ...

Re: NFL 2023-2024 Season

Wentz can still be a decent back up for if whatizface gets dinged for a game or two. Wentz has a lot of experience and knowing he is a back up and not a franchise with all that stress can do a lot of the stuff on the sideline and in the film room to help carry the burden. Well maybe it will be a go...

CRUWEAR Is now my Favorite SE blade steel

I know it's maybe not completely fair and rational to judge the performance of a blade steel by using only one serrated Spyderco model. But the C-60 full SE CRUWEAR blade is very similar to working with a real life "LASER" And it sharpens up very nicely as well. And Cruwear is also a great...

Yes please to BBB HT protocols optimizing Sandvik steels for Spyderco. Two blades I have used over the years that had Sandvik Blade Steel were both nice to use and both sharpened nicely too. Not sure how they would stack up in comparison to "8Cr13MoV". But the Swedes have been secretly kn...

I know I'm like a 33rpm record album with a scratch/skip in it. But I still can't for the life of me understand why they won't make the Catcherman model in full SE again. And this new model with the corrosion resistant steel would be perfect for a full SE blade. There are some fish fillet jobs where...

Re: Calypso Jr Sprint Run Considerations

The Caly Jr is such a well designed short bladed folder that you could use it for all kinds of new innovations. It was the absolute perfect Spyderco model to introduce ZDP-189 blade steel which they did in 2005. The Burgundy, ZDP-189 Caly Jr. should go down as one of the top 10 best knives Spyderco ...

Re: Calypso Jr Sprint Run Considerations

OK I voted in the poll. I voted for the Blue/K390. However I was tempted to vote for either the Cruwear model or the HAP40 model. There were some really good choices to consider. My Burgundy FRN Caly Jr. with the ZDP-189 blade is one of my all time favorite EDC blades ever made. I've been perplexed ...

Re: Hawkbill Lil Native *now with picture

With a set of Spyder TEETH I can see that a Native Hawkbill could potentially be a very aggressive tool. Hawkbill blades simply perform in another league all together when they have TEETH. I'm to a point to where I literally have hardly no use for a plain edged Hawkbill. I can only think of maybe tw...
