Spyderco Mashup
Spyderco Mashup
Blade + handle = A knife you wish they'd make.
Be realistic, no fantasy stuff that's never been made. What could realistically be put into production?
For me,
1. Military 2 + Para 2 tanto blade (longer of course). SE would be cool but I'd buy it in PE.
2. Military 2 + ATR blade. Give it a similar blade as the ATR 2 with the stronger point and swedge and Cobra Hood. In fact I'd be interested in this blade/hood design on many handles. The Cobra Hood is one of the coolest and most underutilized Spyderco features.
3. Civilian handle + Military blade. Basically a back lock Military. The handle shape is pretty similar already. I love how the handle of the Civilian is practically a handle-forward design and covers a good bit of ricasso. Not sure what to do with the Military choil though? Probably wouldn't really need it with this handle.
4. Autonomy 1 handle + Citadel 92mm blade. Possibly my favorite Spyderco blade shape of all time. I'm just now realizing that the Citadel is basically an automatic Caribbean. Hmm.
What have you got?

Re: Spyderco Mashup
Manix2 FFG blade on a pm2 handle; comp lock or cbbl whatever works.
I really really liked the Manix 2 blade, even more so than my beloved pm2s’, but the handle ergos killed me and I can’t even say why. Just didn’t like them.

Re: Spyderco Mashup
Lol I literally made a thread right before this that was similar. I’m rolling with this tho!
I got a skinny mod rock lobster that I think is already a great mashup/fusion between a military and a Spydiechef!

Re: Spyderco Mashup
PM2 Handle and Lock + GB2 Blade, M4 is fine but a Crucarta version would rock.
Endura AUS-8, Manix 2 S30V, Alcyone BD1N, PM2 Micarta Cruwear, Native 5 Maxamet (2nd), Para 3 Maxamet (2nd), Magnacut Mule, Z-Wear Mule, BBB 15V Manix 2, REC PM3 10V Satin, Dragonfly Salt 2, GB2 M4.
Re: Spyderco Mashup
I'd love an Atlantic Salt with a leaf-shaped blade similar to the PM2 or straight spine stretch. I love the Atlantic's integral FRN handle and "PM2-ish" profile - I think it would be a great platform for other blade designs! Although I can't imagine sales of such a niche model would support that (particularly given the similarity in structure between what I'm asking for and other existing knives like the Stretch 2 LW)

Oh that's a good one, I really like the GB1 blade too, I'd take that one on several handles.

Re: Spyderco Mashup
GB1 fixed blade.
Change nothing shape wise, just make it in a fixed blade with Micarta scales

Re: Spyderco Mashup
I held the Atlantic not too long ago and it felt great in hand but was on a Siren mission…if I wasn’t it would have been out the door with me…a leaf shaped blade would be sweetendura3 wrote: ↑Fri Apr 28, 2023 12:49 pmI'd love an Atlantic Salt with a leaf-shaped blade similar to the PM2 or straight spine stretch.
