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...

I love seeing this kind of stuff!

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.

Re: Masters of the Air
My dad flew 15 missions in roughly 2 months during autumn, 1944. He was shot down over Ludwigshafen in November, and spent the rest of the war in Stalag Luft 4 on the Baltic coast. By late '44, the Allies had achieved air supremacy in a general sense, but what counted to a bomber crew was who had ai...

Re: Spyderco Amsterdam Meet 2024 Report
I think the concern about breaking a Charisma blade is legit. I'm not worried, personally, but I'll definitely be more careful with this blade than all others in my collection. Much more careful, like paper and soft foods only. My experience with the Z-Cut, which cost me $19, is that the blade can f...

Re: Spyderco Amsterdam Meet 2024 Report
Charisma and D2 Tenacious will be automatic buys for me, unless way overpriced. The Charisma could blow away offerings like the QuietCarry West and Tactile Bexar by giving customers a lower-cost alternative.
