More CTS-XHP and less CPM-S30V.
More clip designs, to suit the handle better, some clips just don't work.

Yes to all of this!! :)Evil D wrote: ↑Thu Apr 05, 2018 6:07 amI'd like to see more Sharpmaker rod grits. I'd also like to see another Fold-A-Vee type portable sharpener, something closer to the Sharpmaker than a bench stone (meaning something with set angles) and highly portable, with course and fine grits and especially capable of sharpening serrations in the field.
I'd also like to see a larger ~3.75 inch version of the Lil Temp but made in Golden or Taichung in M4/Cruwear/Maxamet. Sprints of the Sliverax and Shaman would be nice too.
Re: What do you want to see more of from Spyderco?
Two things I was going to mention (already noted), wire clip and no finger choil knives the size of PM2.
Which got me thinking about Sliverax. This knife has both. Not sure why I can't bring myself to pull the trigger. I know what would make the decision a lot easier. ahem... sprint... ahem

To be completely honest there is no steel available I would choose in a Para 2 over the plain Jane S30V Sliverax. Just saying. I want a different steel too but the knife is so good otherwise (and for me so much better than the P2).
All SE all the time since 2017

Re: What do you want to see more of from Spyderco?
I like the suggestion for different grits of diamond rods for the sharpmaker.
I like this one. Like the Chinook 4 dropping its choil, or the Tenacious and Resilience being designed without them from the ground up. Pretty much any Spyderco folder I own would be better IMO with more cutting edge and no choil.
Re: What do you want to see more of from Spyderco?
I’d like to see more from the Calypso familly. Now that it’s resurected, keep the Calypso Jr alive. More Calypso Jr sprints in stainless steels. It’s a timeless model, one of Sal’s most inspired designs IMO.

Re: What do you want to see more of from Spyderco?
+1 to all the above. Especially the last one!
YES!!! I'd love to see a revamp of the Calypso/Calypso Jr. with minor CQI: Torx Construction, Tip-up wire clip/re-positioned lanyard hole, and jimping on the thumb ramp.

Re: What do you want to see more of from Spyderco?
I'd love (even though Spyderco has all my knife money as of today's purchases... :p )
- More FRN, linerless lightweight knives
- More nitrogen steels (LC200N, BD1N, etc.) used on current and new models
- related to the previous one, more models receiving the "Salt" treatment (Matriarch, PM2, and many others) :cool:
as for those of you wanting a coarser/more aggressive rod for SM and reprofiling, Sal has posted on Bladeforums this week about considering a newer diamond rod fand improving on the sharpmaker, his posts sounded like he's taking in ideas and thoughts for a new design :rolleyes:

Re: What do you want to see more of from Spyderco?
More sharpmaker diamond rods in additional grits. A 200, 800 and 1200 set sounds great.
More Police4s. Bring on the frn Police4 and put it in the sprint lineup with the rest of the Seki knives. I am usually in for a Stretch and a Delica when the sprints drop and would totally be in for a Police4 too.
More Cruwear. The Shaman, ManixXL and Manix Backlock would all be great platforms for Cruwear.
More Militaries. Maxamet, K390, 10V, Elmax, LC200N.
More Moki green G10/HAP40. A Kiwi4 and Caly3.5 to go with the Caly3.

Re: What do you want to see more of from Spyderco?
I'd like to see some nice 4" flippers with cts 204p and the like
Also more big thick fixed blades with the nicer steels, especially 4V and 3V.
Also, more 4+" folders either robust or slim with the nice steels.

Re: What do you want to see more of from Spyderco?
How about some giveaway contests on the forum here? That’d be awesome to see more of, and might get some other lurkers like me more involved.
As far as product goes, I’d like to see varying grits of cbn and/or diamond rods for the Sharpmaker. Something finer.

Re: What do you want to see more of from Spyderco?
I forgot one. More carbon steel fixed blades. It's easier to find carbon steel Spyderco folders than fixed blades, which is the opposite of my purchasing habits. I opt for stainless / stainproof folders, and carbon fixed blades, typically.
Sounds like it might be worth starting an updated sharpmaker thread.ThePeacent wrote: ↑Thu Apr 05, 2018 11:21 amI'd love (even though Spyderco has all my knife money as of today's purchases... :p )

Re: What do you want to see more of from Spyderco?
This, right here. I love my Para 2, but if someone was forcing me to trim down the collection and I had to keep one of my bigger (longer than 3 inches) knives, the Sliverax wins over my Para 2 and my Endura. It wins over the Nirvana as well, though that one is harder to let go of in comparison for form instead of function.Evil D wrote: ↑Thu Apr 05, 2018 9:58 amanycal wrote: ↑Thu Apr 05, 2018 9:47 amTwo things I was going to mention (already noted), wire clip and no finger choil knives the size of PM2.
