Who wants a CruCarta Ikuchi?
I think this is an amazing design and while it is well executed and perfectly serviceable in its current form I would love to see variants. Let the voting commence!

Re: Who wants a CruCarta Ikuchi?
I voted other. I love Crucarta, but I'd like to see this model get Magnacut + micarta. Ikuchi Magnacarta for me.

Re: Who wants a CruCarta Ikuchi?
Why not both!?!?
Seriously though, I think it is a solid platform for either combination. Maybe linen Micarta on the Salt version and canvas/burlap on the Cruwear. Dream big!

I wrote other because given how smooth and fast spyderco pivot-bushing-washer actions are I just don't have any interest in bearing-pivot knives.

True! The design is worthy of Sprints and Exclusive, IMO.thewoodpecker wrote: ↑Fri Aug 26, 2022 9:57 amWhy not both!?!?

Re: Who wants a CruCarta Ikuchi?
i'm carrying my ikuchi today, actually. i love this knife, especially when i want something with a lower profile without sacrificing blade length.
i also voted other, but i would never say the ikuchi doesn't deserve more love than it gets. i've been asking for an ikuchi salt for a while now, but i don't think magnacut was around when i asked before. personally, i'd like magnacut with titanium scales. it would still be on the classy side, but you could use it in harsh conditions as well.

keep your knife sharp and your focus sharper.

Re: Who wants a CruCarta Ikuchi?
I think Fradon had a Instagram poll on what they're next exclusive should be, I voted for an Ikuchi.

The Ikuchi is on small PB washers.
I'll vote other because I would much rather have a TI Magnacut Salt Ikuchi.
So it goes.

Re: Who wants a CruCarta Ikuchi?

If ever there was a knife that could supplant my favorite EDC Mantra2, this would be it.
