Really though, ANY Ed Schempp sprint run would be highly desirable!
More Ed Schempp designs please!

Re: New Sprint Run Hopefuls to Consider
As long as it is a sprint, almost any discontinued model would do, for me.
As for my preferences :
- JD Smith (Top 1), screw construction, any steel.
- OG Native in G10 body, (A Native 5 with the OG Native blade), any steel.
- Slysz Bowie, any steel.
- PPT in something like Cruwear or XHP with the epic stonewash Taïchung does so well.
- Rookie, G10 (or CF, since G10 is already so expensive) and K390.

In the collection : Lots of different steels, in lots of different (and same) Spydercos.

Yes, please!! I'm not generally a linerlock fan but I would definitely make an exception for the PPT.

Re: New Sprint Run Hopefuls to Consider
Salty the PPT is such a funny design that is considered a linerlock but has more Framelock DNA then anything else. I think you would like it!

Re: New Sprint Run Hopefuls to Consider
I know im probablly in a real minority, but id live to see a full serrated tusk sprint. Its been the ine model ive been searching for and can never get my hands o.
Or more goddard sprints. Something like elmax or s35vn, even magnacut. Nothing crazy, just a really good edc knife

Uh..... Yes to the PPT sprint run!
Cruwear Micarta would go really nicely.

Re: New Sprint Run Hopefuls to Consider
Well, I hadn't thought of that, but yeah. That would be great, especially in carbon fiber or a nice (not green or brown) micarta.ZrowsN1s wrote: ↑Sat Jan 06, 2024 10:07 amI want a Kris

A salty Mantra 2 would be nice but unlikely.

This looks like it touched the mirror in the Matrix one too many times. How do you even sharpen that?ZrowsN1s wrote: ↑Sat Jan 06, 2024 10:07 amI want a Kris

While it looks very interesting, it would be low on my list of desires due to its less than practical nature.

Re: New Sprint Run Hopefuls to Consider
corners of the sharpmaker rods, or sandpaper wrapped around something with a hard corner.
Re: New Sprint Run Hopefuls to Consider
Return of the Sage 2 and Sage 4 in some cool steel would be nice

Sal has so much as said that some number of collaborators did things that have made further collaboration a bridge too far.yablanowitz wrote: ↑Fri Jan 05, 2024 8:01 amSince Chad used the Lava and Spyderco as a stepping stone to hook up with Boker, I doubt we'll be seeing a Lava Sprint.
We can guess at a few of them, from things he’s said, but I doubt Sal will help us know what sprints of collaborations past have no chance.
Shiny Footprints… Besides, hardly our business.

Re: New Sprint Run Hopefuls to Consider
Surprised no one mentioned the Kapara yet, would love a new config, something like:
1. Spy27+Sapphire AluTex (blue twill CF)
2. MagnaCut+Silver AluTex (silver twill CF)
3. Some other nice PM steel with any of the Fat Carbon/CarboQuartz/TechnoCarbo flavors (apart from the toxic/jungle ones, not a fan of vibrant yellow/green in my CF)
