I thought it was 0.0005, but I could be wrong.

Tom Berry should have a couple. He's at Spydercovt.com. :)

S90V??? Hard steel, right?

Very!

Pictures are a must though. :)

THANK YOU!

I have to say that is one of my favorite parts is the makers mark.

Josh you are probably right about the high hollow grind, but the original Chinook doesn't cut too shabby.Really the biggest dislike of the Chinook 1 is the lock and Tip down carry. :) What do you mean biggest dislikes? I love tip down! :D A thin high hollow grind would probably cut better then the ...

USN (sometimes)
Bladeforums (all the time)
Macserialjunkie (most of the time)

That's about it.

Ok, how about a 1/2 Ti frame lock, 1/2 CF M4 Tip Up Military? Have (12) in M4 now...... only (2) Mules from Spyderco. Just trying to drum up some business for Sal. I have heard rumors of that knife. Something about a 9-12 month wait for it? :D I believe that the Bradley folder will be M4 Yep. :)

I think that high of a hollow grind would weaken the knife for it's designed MBC purpose. I'm much happier with the FFG.

Now a 5+ version? **** yes.

Strider's SMF/SnG are the only two knives of theirs I've owned. Loved them both. The fixed blades are just not me, I can find better for less.

I carry a Military more though. :)

Wait till you see the preorder list. :eek:

I was wondering about that too. I was a little disappointed to not see Sal's mark on my FRN Stretch.

I was really hoping for specs on the Manix 2 off the website, alas it still isn't there.

Oh well, I've got the knife, I'm happy. :D (Also the UKPK DK, Bob T slipit, FRN Stretch.... :D :D :D )

Josh pretty much nailed it. I might add that the HG blade also combines good shallow slicing ability (like skinning or other cuts that don't go to full blade depth) along with good strength due to the saber grind. I found it to cut decent enough, but sent mine off to Tom Krein for a FFG to a .015&q...

Unfortunately, that's not really true, at least not when looking at a photograph. Lighting can make the clip of a real UKPK, and any of the other Spydercos which share that clip, look like bright steel in a photo. Especially if the knife is brand new or has been wiped down with a rust preventative....

This probably doesnt really apply, but there is a metal alloy with 'memory' that goes back to its original shape. Is called nitinol. Alloy of nickel/titanium. It's the stuff used in those eyeglass frames that you can bend, but go back to original shape. It's used a lot in medical devices such as th...

That would work for me, I just hope it would not create the same sort of speculative mentality you see with some BM LEs, with people buying huge quantities only to sell them back on eBay at a premium within weeks. That is something that Spyderco has so far been immune to. Something that helps is th...

True, how about this? Maybe (this is a stretch, and probably too much to ask) but maybe we could receive the laser etching for the original sprint pieces, and then from there out Spyderco could offer a choice of black blade or regular blade like they did with the Digital Camo Millies! That way they...

Very true. :)

Sal, 52100 Military? :D

Regardless of whether it ends being a sprint run or not, they cost exactly the same as the regular ones. Some dealers tried to take advantage of the sprint run thing to sell them closer to MSRP, but most did not. I paid mine 119$ from Cutlery Shoppe. I hope they make an orange one with black blade,...
