Yes! I'm on board with 3v as well, it's a hard working steel, and I find it pretty resistant to rust for a "carbon" steel.

I'm a fan of the Tatanka. I ended up buying three, one for me, one spare, and one as a gift for my knife buddy. I carry it when in the woods and when hunting. Partially for LARPing purposes ;) , but it IS a much better machete for thorns or thin branches hanging into trails than any other folder I ...

@TazKristi I noticed an error, on Page 152, the description for the CBN ProFile stone has the text from the Medium Ceramic stone copied into it along with the correct text for the CBN stone.

It's a completely unnecessary expense and a waste of resources.

I second this.

I was kinda hoping for a Polestar with Military style linerlock out of Golden. But honestly, the CL will probably sell better, so I think this was a better investment for Spyderco. May seem boring to some, but I'm very excited for this one and all its variations.



Said it already: I wish ...

I have no interest in coated blades, and won't buy 'em.

Is that compression or back lock?

Compression lock

Thanks Mushroom

Bummer. That's what I'd expected, but hoped it was back lock.

Is that compression or back lock?

While the Shaman with a backlock is likely not possible, I'd love one with a Walker liner lock. That should be possible in the same form factor.

If the blade is thinned, I'd not be interested. There are lots of thin blades with delicate tips available in Spyderco's lineup as it is.

For me, the ...

I'm in for one or two, but zero if it's a compression lock.

Think we should do more contests?

Absolutely.

I love the Tatanka, I bought 3, 1 for a close friend, two for me. For a new one, I'd like a toughness-biased steel, CMP-3V would be my preference. The current beveled scales are also just right, for me, as is the power lock, I prefer backlocks and like the powerful self close the PL has.

I would ...

I'm in.

My One-Eyed Jack. The finishing and inlay work are fantastic. It's the "nicest" production knife I own.

I like a thicker blade on my pocket knife, because it's the tool I always have, and I might have to use it for something other than slicing. Lifting the jammed tab on a furnace filter cover so I can get my finger under it to pull it open, deburring a piece of plastic that was scuffed, scraping gunk ...

Phil Wilson - Fillet Knife, or really any of his designs.

A Made in Not-China Bow River with a medium tier steel would be fantastic, I find that knife to be extremely handy (I have 2 I use, and 2 spares :) ).

Yep... in SPY27 with a “powder blue” G10 handle. Bring it !

I'd buy that, for sure!

+1 here also.

That would be a purchase for sure.

Another purchase here, or two.

It's fairly thin, not as thin as my Japanese knives, but totally thin enough; I use one as a utility knife in the kitchen regularly. I like the blade shape more and more over time. I have a South Fork as well, but don't prefer the belly on the SF as much as the more gradual curve of the Bow River.

Hi ThrottleCable,

Welcome to our forum.

What size are you suggesting?

sal



I would love to add a new Tatanka (maybe in a high-end steel) to my collection but only if it is manufactured in the original size. A downsized Tatanka with a 4" blade (or so) would look to me much like a Police 4 ...
