Sal previously you mentioned a LW version. Will there be both a LW and G10?

Please explain to me the LT3LW. I look at it and just don't get it. Its stubby and thick. I tend to like thinner - like a chapparel in 15v or K390. I know there are many spyderco designs that I look at and until I have it in hand I don't get but what is it that makes the LT3LW sing for you?

I have no idea of what it takes but the PM3 LW has quickly become a favorite. I have a G-10 K390 and its my favorite but would love a LW PM3 version. Please Sal?

Z-M4 PM looks interesting too

That's just PM M4, so the same as CPM-M4 :)

Thanks for the clarification

What does BQ stand for?

YES! I'm excited to see this.
Z-wear was previously released as a PE mule, interesting to see a SE mule released.

You still have carpenter making PD1- another mule that lingered around for a long, long time. I love mine but it will be interesting to see what happens.

I'm in the process of putting a handle on my Z-max mule (I'm a bit behind) and was wondering why z-max hasn't been around much. Then I saw Cedric's post on zapp z12 Ultra. Sal, any chance of a taste this stuff? It sounds right up Spyderco's alley.

I'd go for a forum T-shirt

Good experience on my end, thanks Spyderco!

The dark green PM3 LW cruwear DLC is one of my favorite

Shawn,
Your elk lazer looks awesome, what's been your experience with the steel vs magnacut and K390 and 15V so far for comparison?

I'd love to see Phil Wilson's take on this steel:
-North Fork
-Sprig
-Smoke Jumper

K390 level edge retention but stainless?!!
What are you looking forward to in this steel? What models?

Caly 3 is on my list, a Golden Caly.

I'll list mine not represented:
P3 LW
Caly 3
UKPK

Sounds like there could be a new mule on the way sometime - the new mystery steel :-)

Have their been any K390 knives with DLC? DLC has been incredibly durable and I can't help but think what a K390 knife with DLC would be like.

I use corners then flats on brown all the way up to ultra-fine. Browns will work fine.
