Who's in? :D
I know I am!!
This Spyderco, imo, will rival anything out there. Survive, Busse, Carrothers.....you get the point :D
Imo, this is prolly the toughest, best allround fixed blade Spyderco has ever put out. To say I'm excited about it in CPM 4V would be an understatement.
Jim, Sal, and Darren, thank you.

It's their 1st Production knife in CPM 4V also other than the Mule Team.

I am looking forward to the feed back once it's out. :)

I have a feeling that this Spyderco will sell fast. Very fast.
Especially so when after people start using it.
This knife is off the chain man.....

I think people will be pleasantly surprised how useful it will be as an all around field knife.

I'm in!
Love these 'kitchen knife' style designs, been working on some designs myself and really like this type design.
Can't wait to get this in hand, also nice to try out 4V in a not overbuilt bladestock. Should indeed make for a great user!

The thing about 4V is it doesn't have to be thick, it's that good. :spyder: :cool:

Man.....this design, with this blade steel, and Spyderco heat treat as it is...... this blade is pretty much perfection, as an all rounder.
Just everything you could possibly ask for, then a little more :D

CPM 4V is quickly becoming a favorite in Blade Sports and for a very good reason. :spyder:

Exactly! That's why I'm excited to try it at this stock, almost any steel can be strong at massive stock thickness but to find a blade that's not overweight, thin enough to slice well, holds a decent edge and actually is still a tough beast..
Now that would be quite something! :D

I have been enjoying the 4v mule for a while. It’s very impressive. Glad to see it being used for a production model. Takes a nice patina as well.

Thanks Jim. Just stumbled on that as you posted.

Very nice looking model! Looks to be a great worker with the steel, the palm swell and the Boltaron sheath. Interesting option with the 1/2 guard built in vs Sal's double guard. Pretty cool we get 2 choices at once.

Hope it does well for you! :spyder:
