Re: Mr. Sal, a Lil Temp 2 question

I haven't posted here in a while but I considered it worthwhile to weigh in and add another vote for a green 'lil Temp2. This knife, along with the GB2, are definitely on my "must purchase" list of upcoming Spyderco models. Green G10 scales would be a perfect homage to the original. Thanks...

Awesome!!! Thank you, Sal for doing this. I know it's still several months out but any ideas for an FRN color? I'd like to see that khaki that was used on the Kahr Delica.

I don't know much about Japanese steels but I'm definitely in as far as purchasing goes regardless of steel. I'd like to see an M4 equivalent but I trust Joe's (Mastiff) judgment in these matters. As far as handle color, I'd like the same color as the Emerson Opener models. Thanks as always for list...

Just saw this thread....I purchased E4, D4, and Stretch in Super Blue and think they're great. I'm definitely in for any upcoming FRN sprints of these models w/ different steels! Thanks for listening, Sal.

I like the idea of opening a pay-in-full pre-order several months in advance. True flippers might not want to tie up monies for that long and might not be as willing to acquire as many knives knowing that a large part of the final demand is being accounted for up-front by Spyderco. Also, this method...

Spyderco churned out an impressive array of high performance blades while maintaining their usual high quality standards. Some of my personal faves: S...

I managed to score an Endura 4 w/ Emerson opener for $60. Certainly not earth-shattering savings, but I've wanted one for a long time and have never seen it cheaper.

So what are the chances of this actually happening? I mean, do sprints ever actually start as a thread here on these forums and become reality? If so what are some examples and what needs to happen?

I think the point is that people who might keep knives for longer periods are more hobbyists than purely speculative investors. Flippers are obvious because THEY TRY TO MAKE AS MUCH PROFIT AS THEY CAN IN AS SHORT A PERIOD OF TIME AS POSSIBLE. IMHO, a good way to pull the rug out from speculators is...

I'd have to agree. Spyderco really went all-out with the blade steel, patterned G10 scales, and aggressive pricing.
