Re: DLC

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.

Re: Shaman w/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 compr...

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

Re: Tatanka

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 als...

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

Re: Why are most Golden blades on the thicker side?

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 ...

Re: Most Favored Spyderco Collaborator(s) To Return?

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.

Re: Bow River distributor exclusive

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.

Re: Power Lock

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 :( Fro...

Re: Power Lock

I have a Native Chief which I like the size of, but I was disappointed that it wasn't as heavy-bladed as the Native 5. I like the Shaman's shape, choil, blade thickness, etc, but don't really like the compression lock. Ideally I'd like a copy of the Tatanka, scaled down to 4.25" (maybe 4.0"...

Re: Power Lock

I joined this forum (long time lurker) just to comment on this topic. My Vote: 7/8 or 3/4 sized Tatanka. I love my Tatanka (I've purchased 3, mine, a spare, and a gift) and would like a slightly smaller version, still with the Power Lock. The Tantaka is a little too scary in public and a little big ...
