H1 with G10

[ZrowsN1s]

Opinions sought on the idea of a G10 handled H1 blade. I would love a larger sized H1 folder with G10 handles and skeletonized liner. The ultimate would be a PM2 in H1 with yellow G10. yes? no? terrible idea? please share, all opinions welcome.

I don't mind FRN for Salt knives, but I would be soooooo happy with solid G10 scales. I doubt they'd ever put liners in them but I could see solid G10 since many of the classic Spyderco knives came this way.

The Caribbean will be coming in two sizes with two blade shapes with LC200N and G10.

I wonder if Boomer has done anything like this yet.

Is that a confirmed release or one of the prototypes that may never see the light of day?

I've certainly been waiting for an H1 blade with G10. Unfortunately I'm unable to purchase an autonomy

I would be down for a Manix XL with H1 and yellow G10 handles. Highly unlikely it would ever happen though.

I could live with solid G10 Liners.

An H1 XL would be great in the kitchen.

Ya when does that drop?

[Liquid Cobra]

I have no idea. I would expect it to be a while.

What are the thoughts on seeing something in LC200N and G-10 (vs H1)? A smaller folding knife (2.5" blade) or larger (3" and larger)?

I know the Caribbean is hopefully coming soon, but maybe we'll see other G-10 folders in the Salt line.

Why do you think it will still take more time for this new Salt folder to be out? Can we expect it to be out by summer 2016 or it will likely take longer?

[bearfacedkiller]

We haven't really officially seen a proto yet. They may just bring them to market and skip that step but usually we see an official proto first. I think the Mantra came straight to market without us seeing pics so anything is possible. At this point only the Spydercrew knows.

Thanx Killer. The first model is being engineered now. It is planned for release. A bit of an experiment but we have a good chance of success.

Very cool! I feel like a kid in a candy store with a brand new candy being released...and the doors have not opened yet :)

If they would ever do a Sprint run of the C-60 Ayoob or the IMPALA model in the H-1 Salt Series and not use a G-10 handle on a premium design like the ones I just mentioned I would be highly disappointed. I like many of the FRN Salt knives but some of Spyderco's knives do so much better with G-10 handles. When they did the Sprint Run of the Ayoob model with a G-10 handle it made it a completely different knife all together and much better I might add.
