K11P arrived today. It's very nice! My girl's gonna love it

So are the kitchen knives being replaced with anything? I've heard rumors of LC200N kitchen knives, but it's been nothing definitive.

Thanks to anyone who can help.

Back in 2017 Sal confirmed a second kitchen knife set. I am guessing we will see these in the 2019 catalog.

The new Chef's knife is now coming in. The maker is fairly new in Seki and has had some theething problems and some family health issues. We Should be shipping this second design next month.

We do have an additional set in-the-works fro a well known and very skilled designer. Planning several variations in materials.

LC is being considered for a kitchen set.

This post also may clue us in as to why this latest series has to come to an end.
Sal has since confirmed that they are indeed gonna run LC200N in a kitchen set. I cant find that post though.

Received the G10 Stretch2 today, and since the LW version 1 is still in my possession I can say GOOD DECISION!!! The extra weight and the looks of the full steel back n liners are totally worth it. The design differences between version 1 and 2 are rather subtle, this was not the driver of my decision. It's the extra steel that makes me happy! :)

If I'm lucky, the Junction might be in the mail on Monday or Tuesday. I have a feeling that the Bushcraft and the MT22 are held in customs, so I need to be a little more patient for those.

Got my Junction and Stretch 2 G10 yesterday....love both. Heading to desert for a few days and the Stretch is definitely coming with me!

I also got my Stretch 2 today and I was surprised by how tight the lockup is. Very well done.

Loving the looks and texture of the Titanium Chaparral!
Trying to keep myself from ordering one of stepped versions. ... :rolleyes:


James

Yeah I caved and bought the ti Chap too. It's too good and too cheap to pass up.

Just got the bushcraft yesterday... Man I cannot put it down,

This is my first Spyderco fixed blade and, the quality as expected, is top notch. I didn't know they originally made this model with maple wood...
It looked amazing, but to my knowledge it ended up not panning out too well. Great on Spyderco for adapting to the situation and switching over to a different material. The polished g10 however is F-ing out this world, can't wait to take it out to the woods. I'm ready to care for this beauty and put this tool steel through it's paces.

Tested the edge on paper (the lightest thing it'll ever cut lmao) and it did 3 clean filet strikes one after the other through the paper. Ridiculously sharp out the box and freaking classy. The sheath isn't bad, although I see why some are concerned about the insert at the bottom... From what I've seen a seller on Ebay hand makes aftermarket sheathes for the Bushcraft... so if it's really an issue, there ya go. The Scandinavian grind is wicked and I feel like this knife will be a great companion for years to come (if I don't lose it or whatever). Thinking about throwing this guy in the pack for the extended mountain bike trips.. it's all fun and games until you get stuck miles out from the car. Which is why you always come a little prepared :)

The Bushcraft has the most comfortable knife handle I have ever held. Amazing! I want a Proficient too but question if S90V is right for how I will use the knife.

I would love a flat ground Bushcraft or a Proficient in a different steel. A Proficient with Micarta and Cruwear, 3V or 4V would be out of this world!

Got my Bushcraft today, picked it up at Customs (together with my RWL34 Mule T22). What a beauty, exactly my thing, with the thick blade and all. Get one while you can!!

Got the Junction earlier this week, and the Stretch2 a couple days before.

Christmas is early again this year. :)

The stepped titanium, in fire sale price is still too rich for my blood, but **** it's pretty

Aesthetically, the D'allara 3 is so sleek - really wish it did better, but I can see how the g10 version didn't live up to it's predecessors

Ti Chap in action every day so far. It was in my shortlist to pick it up at the regular price. This made the deal sweet.

BTW, regarding the Bushcraft: nasty thick blade, while at the same time it's the sharpest out the box spydie I've ever received. Its sick sharp. Such a winner.

Got the Chaparral Stepped titanium inbound. ..couldn't pass up Black Friday deal. The D'allara and a couple of the Chefs knives are all that remain on my discontinued "want" list!

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving.
