Re: Anyone Else Up For a Resilience in CPM-M4?
Definitely. The S35VN Resilience is one of my go-to knives. I would love it in M4.

Re: It's About Time For: A Full SE Catcherman
I'd probably be interested, if it were a Salt. No non-Salt blade or hardware, please.
Edited to say I like your idea of introducing "it's about time" threads.

Re: Serrated Edge for Hunting?
I consider the Stretch 2 XL Salt PE to be the best folding hunter available for exactly the reasons you listed. It wouldn't occur to me to choose the SE over the PE for hunting, but I'm very interested in the results of your testing. My educated guess is that it'll work okay, but not as well as the ...

Re: Thin for the win. I'm back in.
I have no need at all for blade stock greater than 3.0 mm, 2.5 would be better for me in general, and much of the time 2.0 would be better yet. 2.0 mm is thin enough (and thick enough) for most of my uses, but sometimes I like even thinner. My favorite Spydercos for household use are the Chaparral a...

Re: Catcherman LC200N Sprint Run
I bought this OG Catcherman back in the mid-90s for, I believe, $49.95, and used the heck out of it for many years. It's easily my most abused knife, left in the tackle box or ice chest with saltwater and fish blood on it for months at a time. Action is still pretty good, and it sharpens up as well...

Re: This knife should be in production…My dream hunting knife put together.
It looks perfect for your technique. Cutting through a deer's sternum can definitely be a chore, so the thicker blade is a great choice. I'm right there with you on bright scales! (This thread made me think, why not glow scales on a hunting knife? You could charge them with your flashlight or headli...

Re: Tip Up vs Tip Down Poll
The only factors that matter to me are ease of opening and how the knife feels in hand after it's opened. Unlike probably every other person on this forum, I open a knife with my right hand, move it to my left, and then use it. This is because I'm left-handed but, because of neural tumors in my left...

Re: Is there a quintessential Spyderco?
Probably the Delica or Endura but, to me personally, the quintessential Spyderco is the C36 Military Model.

Re: Chaparral
RGT is well aware of the two different Chap clip positions because I pointed it out to him and there have been discussions of that here on the forum. You need to specify which clip position you have when ordering from him. Hope that helps. Cheers, Radioactive l I can attest to this. He required a p...

I'm really pleased for all y'all finally getting a Catcherman. I got one when they first appeared, but I know most of you have been waiting for years. Hope you enjoy it!

Re: Knife that screams liner lock got the compression lock - why?
The comp lock is my least favorite of all, so I'm 100% with you. Even on knives like the PM2 and Caribbean, where it works great and is entirely appropriate, I'd prefer a liner lock or backlock. On a knife like the Rhino I have to wonder, "What were they thinking?"

Re: Chaparral
I'd like to see more steels for the Chaparral since it's one of my favorite knives. It's an exquisite, near-perfect design. Any or all of K390, S90V, SPY 27 and MagnaCut would be great. If Spyderco chose FRN rather than an exotic scale material, that would be fine. FRN is nice as is or, like Doc Dan...

Re: Spyderco Sinkevich Drunken.
It's hard to disagree. They look similar. Not surprising, since they're both collaborations with Mr. Sinkevich. Beautiful designs!steeljustice wrote: ↑Thu Mar 21, 2024 3:34 pmI was in hopes some forum member would disagree of my posting, in regards of it's design being close to the Z.T. 0456 that was designed and made in 2016.
