Another run of Whale Rescue Blade is needed.

Another run of Whale Rescue blade is needed. Here is a recent example of a modified Spyderco Salt blade standing in: https://www.instagram.com/noaasanctuaries/reel/C3bUo3HvNjm/ None have been available in the retail chain for years, and there are other uses besides the eponymous one.

Re: Police 4 lightweight

Nevermind the fancy steels, I want partially serrated! Yes, I know I am in the minority, but the all Stainless versions get it, and I do not like the lack of grip on those.

Re: Military...so much handle

I too wish the military had a little more blade for the existing handle, and agree it is on the large side. That said, I still love it and it has long been my primary EDC. This is hearsay, but from what I remember Sal saying (typing): Yes, gloved hands were one of the design criteria for the Militar...

Re: Serrata

So while the process has economies of scale for production, and I can partially understand why you would not want to make more, there has not been any smaller experimentations with other steels?

Re: Bob Lum Chinese Folder Light Weight: Is it time? Would you want it?

Hi SEF, The high cost of tooling for FRN would make the project questionable. sal Perhaps a compromise is in order. Use one of the existing FRN platforms, but use the Lum Folder blade shape. Or maybe even make a Byrd version in using one of the FRN platforms. Since Byrds are made in China, there is...

Re: Delica Detent

The "kick" on the Delica's blade is designed to bottom out against the lug of the lock bar, leaving space between the edge and the inside surface of the handle. Unlike many traditional back lock folders, the closed blade can't be squeezed into the handle to force the edge to make contact....

What about one with the standard blade and a wood saw, Sal ?
I think the new Dyad that Sal is developing would be a better platform for a regular blade plus a saw, since both blades will lock. Might not be much of a market for it however; the Catcherman handled saw did not last very long.

Re: How about a double edge dagger Spydie?

A double edged knife would restrict it's legality in some states and cities. The Sustain was supposed to be DE, but Sal wisely chose to allow the user to modify the false edge. Between the Sustain and the Fish Hunter, as the two most recent examples, it is pretty clear that Spyderco policy is to le...
