Spyderco Forums

I have a Boltaron sheath for my Province scheduled to arrive on Thursday, and was wondering if anyone has pics of the Province with this sheath? I did a search and could only find the stock pic of the sheath by itself.

I think the Harpy is your only other option unless something new comes along.

Something (sort of) new is what I'm lobbying for :D

I'm wondering how difficult it would be to fit the Delica 4 handle with a hawkbill blade? I'm pretty sure there will be an LC200N Tasman Salt 2 forthcoming, but what I’m really looking for is an updated version of the Merlin, with a FFG K390 blade :D

Sal has said the maker is willing/able to work with K390. I’d love to see K390 right out of the gate, but I think the initial version is likely to be VG-10, or another stainless, and understand why that makes sense.

I have the K390 Endela, and like it, but I chose the Stretch for the finger choil and blade shape (straight section and more belly). I have the regular Stretch in V-Toku2, but am looking forward to the SS. I know I prefer the look, and anticipate I will prefer it functionally as well.

I’m in the (apparent) minority that dislikes DLC. Hmm...if that were the only way to get Cruwear in this model, would I buy it?

Anyone know (or heard any rumors) about this happening? I’m thinking it would most likely be an exclusive?

We have asked the maker to see if they can work in K390. We're waiting on their response.

Thanks Sal :) I believe you said they are doing the forthcoming Caly 3.5 Lightweight? That would also be awesome in K390!

Not to rain on my own parade, but I realized that the Morans are done by a different Japanese maker than the one producing the current K390 models. They may not be able, or willing, to work with K390 :( This would apply to the Perrin Street Bowie & Street Beat, as well. Only Sal/Spyderco can say...

Who’d be up for the Moran FB01 and/or FB02 in K390?

Also, it would be great to see a fixed blade design, like Phil Wilson’s Smoke Creek in K390. Or a sprint run of the Southfork and Sprig in that steel. :) I would certainly love to see a Phil Wilson FB in this steel, however, all the current models with K390 are being made in Japan. It would probabl...

I have had, and enjoyed, the S30V version since It first came out. It is my favorite Spyder design. I am really looking forward to a tool steel blade and non-black scales, though. Cruwear would be my first choice for steel, but I don’t think Rex 45 will disappoint, given my positive experience with ...

I guess I am in the minority, as I don't like the look of coated blades, and have no desire or use for them?

Eagerly awaiting.

By “sharpen” I mean simply restoring the microbevel, not reprofiling.

I've been enjoying my recently acquired K390 Endela, and that is what prompted me to enquire about a possible Cruwear version. So far, K390 has performed very well for my uses, and I expect it will stay sharp for a good long time. It will, eventually, need to be sharpened, though. One of the things ...

I know there was a Cruwear Delica 4 (Distributor exclusive, I think?). Has anyone heard any rumors about, or have any knowledge of, a Cruwear Endela in the works? Have there been any Endela exclusives yet?

Might want to look into one of the CPM Cruwear versions. It has the toughness you’re looking for, and, although it's not technically stainless, it's still pretty corrosion resistant.

Just wondering if there's any news about when this will be out?

Mine too!
