I know this knife has just started to enter the market place in its birch handled iteration but will this fixed blade follow the BushcraftUK by being followed by a micarta or polished G10 handle version? I don't get on with wood handling and the Streetbeat and G10 Bushcrafter I have need a black han...
Apart from the Spydercos my favourite kitchen blade is a no name Japanese laminated blade. A very thin laminate with obviously a very high carbon, brittle, rust prone centre. Fantastically sharp and the core is so brittle it lightly chips thus forming minute serrations. Since then I've always liked ...
An unexpected use of this wee knife is that it is now my 'Sgian Dhu' or black knife in the top of my sock when I wear a kilt. The general Sgian Dhu is not a proper blade and is for show but the Street Beat was worn at a wedding recently and was much admired at the table when it came time to open foo...
Thanks for the personal replies from all-especially Sal!
Give us lucky folks a heads up when these are due in their various localities.
Money to save, tickets to buy :)
I hopefully will get hold of one of these from The Old Man in Amsterdam. The shop has said that as long as the blade is sub 9cms it will be OK for them to stock. 2 questions-is there a release date and is the blade less than 9cm? I am presuming that Spyderco is considering sending these abroad to co...
Out of interest I'd love to see one bought and taken to pieces with a concise treatise on why they are rubbish are the real deal is not.
To get a analysis on the steel, fasteners etc and indepth photos of the things I imagine like poor finish, rough edges, poor lockup etc.
Been playing with the FB for a while and feel it is screaming out for a folding version.
Same handle with the pivot point above the finger choil and a simple lockback following the curve of the micarta helmet.
Sal?
We need pictures!
But, I like the sound of it. A knife grown out of use day in day out has an interesting history and a Spyderco interpretation would do any style justice.
I've rested the UKPK and EDCing a few old favourites. The Kiwi and an old Victorinox Excelsior have been the favourites. The Excelsior is the classic ultra slim twin bladed pocket Swiss Army Knife and the celidor handles are not a patch on the bone Kiwi for heft and quality. What does interest me th...
C'mon guys-its a multi tool which is a fairly well, and interestingly, designed bit of kit. It has its limitations as all multitools have. If there is time go for the correct tool-you'll save time-everytime!
But for a quick tighten or cut the Spyderwrench is pretty good.
