I'm not sure about this one. Sure, I want a big helping of REX121, but I'm not excited about the Sage 5. Wait and see...
Spyderco Amsterdam Meet 2024 Report
Re: Spyderco Amsterdam Meet 2024 Report
Ouch! Big money for a such a knife - I’d expect to be paying no more than $80. The Golden made Ukpk in the same steel with its arguably more intricate / labour intensive backspring is sub $90.
At That price it’s going to be competing directly with the base steel Native’s.
Re: Spyderco Amsterdam Meet 2024 Report
Thank god the Charisma is one we are able to talk about !
Definitely a favorite of mine. It's a really small folder with a crazy thin blade (1 or 1,5mm) it's a lightsaber

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

I can't recall exactly what Eric said about pricing but IIRC it's under 100 bucksFlash wrote: ↑Fri Mar 08, 2024 5:06 pmOuch! Big money for a such a knife - I’d expect to be paying no more than $80.

A street price of under $100 for the Charisma would be nice!

The Satin R.I.L. Tenacious... It's planned to be D2 and not CPM-D2, correct?
p.s. It says 8Cr13MoV in the specs below the pics of that one.

Okay, money where my mouth was on the Charisma. I'm all for super thin blades.
Re: Spyderco Amsterdam Meet 2024 Report
Sure, no high hollow, but is the Charisma essentially the fabled high performance Delica?
Re: Spyderco Amsterdam Meet 2024 Report
Mr. Blonde, what is the factory for the Charisma?

Re: Spyderco Amsterdam Meet 2024 Report
The "Charisma" is made in Golden. Eric has been working on refining the design for 3 years anyway.

Re: Spyderco Amsterdam Meet 2024 Report
Niiice couldn't quite make it out on the blade. I was curious, not many models debut in FRN, tooling expense and all.

Re: Spyderco Amsterdam Meet 2024 Report
Indeed. Although like you i am kinda shocked that is all. Since there were more that looked and felt finished to me. Ohwel maybe we can talk about those after we meet again next year.
Re: Spyderco Amsterdam Meet 2024 Report
That’s great to know. Reservations aside, I think this is the most promising new design I’ve seen for some time. Very excited for the Charisma’s release.
Speaking of which, would late 2024 be realistic for its release?

I'm not sure about D2 vs CPM-D2, I recall Eric telling me 'D2'. Thanks for the keen eye, I'll correct the specs!Buddafucco wrote: ↑Fri Mar 08, 2024 6:44 pmThe Satin R.I.L. Tenacious... It's planned to be D2 and not CPM-D2, correct?

I also remember that Eric said it will be D2. But offcourse we all forgot the ask the details of the D2 maybe Sal can enlighten us on that?

Re: Spyderco Amsterdam Meet 2024 Report
Hey Sal the most fun fact around that knife is for me personally that Eric told us his son so you’re grandson gave it his name! I am sure that makes you very proud Grand father!
Re: Spyderco Amsterdam Meet 2024 Report
The Charisma looks like it will be a purchase for me if the price is right. I've been looking for something thinner than the chap and this looks like it will answer that with a slim in-pocket profile as well.

Re: Spyderco Amsterdam Meet 2024 Report
Nice little slicer. I like thin blades, but this ^ was my first reaction. Not much metal around that hole.Flash wrote: ↑Fri Mar 08, 2024 2:16 pmMy concerns are this though: The Z-cut I owned broke through the centre of the Spydiehole… cutting a potato on a plastic cutting board!
Although the stock is 0.2mm thicker on the Charisma, it’s hole is significantly bigger than the Z-cut. This area WILL be a point of weakness on this knife.
I honestly think Spyderco should do away the Spydiehole on this model, or at the very least make it smaller.
