Re: New Discoveries found in 8Cr13MoV testing

Yes please to BBB HT protocols optimizing Sandvik steels for Spyderco. Two blades I have used over the years that had Sandvik Blade Steel were both nice to use and both sharpened nicely too. Not sure how they would stack up in comparison to "8Cr13MoV". But the Swedes have been secretly kn...

Re: Catcherman LC200N Sprint Run

I know I'm like a 33rpm record album with a scratch/skip in it. But I still can't for the life of me understand why they won't make the Catcherman model in full SE again. And this new model with the corrosion resistant steel would be perfect for a full SE blade. There are some fish fillet jobs where...

Re: Calypso Jr Sprint Run Considerations

The Caly Jr is such a well designed short bladed folder that you could use it for all kinds of new innovations. It was the absolute perfect Spyderco model to introduce ZDP-189 blade steel which they did in 2005. The Burgundy, ZDP-189 Caly Jr. should go down as one of the top 10 best knives Spyderco ...

Re: NFL 2023-2024 Season

Well just when you think there is nothing to add to this lengthy thread the NFL in all it's wisdom comes up with a new rule. This new HIP DROP TACKLE Rule is truly going to change tackle football as we have known it for decades. From what I gathered from the Pat McAfee Show it will be a 15 yard pena...

carried mine yesterday and i think i want some change... anyone know of a scale maker that makes ayoob scales? i did a search and didn't find any. not surprising since it's not a widespread model, but maybe someone knows of one? Not sure if he's still on Bladeforums or not. But there used to be a g...

Re: Calypso Jr Sprint Run Considerations

OK I voted in the poll. I voted for the Blue/K390. However I was tempted to vote for either the Cruwear model or the HAP40 model. There were some really good choices to consider. My Burgundy FRN Caly Jr. with the ZDP-189 blade is one of my all time favorite EDC blades ever made. I've been perplexed ...

Re: Hawkbill Lil Native *now with picture

With a set of Spyder TEETH I can see that a Native Hawkbill could potentially be a very aggressive tool. Hawkbill blades simply perform in another league all together when they have TEETH. I'm to a point to where I literally have hardly no use for a plain edged Hawkbill. I can only think of maybe tw...

Re: G-10 Hawkbill Anyone?

I'd like a G10 Ladybug Hawkbill in PE. Also yes. And Dragonfly Hawkbill. And Lil Native Hawkbill. There isn't a Hawkbill they make I wouldn't like in PE and G-10. Karahawk and P'kal are PE and G-10, but have very specialized handles. Superhawk is an amazing knife, but large for some uses, and I pai...

Re: G-10 Hawkbill Anyone?

The spot was actually black linen micarta (very beautiful) JD, it was one of models I believe made in the Moki factory. I owned a couple too and thought they were beautiful little self defense/edc utility tools. I wish I never sold them both, I’d love to see them make a return but they probably won...

Re: NFL 2023-2024 Season

Well I'm not ready to totally agree that the NFL is as fake as the WWF used to be. But on the other hand I don't remember a year in the NFL in which the officiating throughout the entire league was as bad as it was this past season. It does seem like Patrick Mahomes is now the NFL's biggest marketin...

I'm always interested. Well Zrow over the years it seems like you and I have had similar tastes in most Spyderco models it seems. I personally would like to see the Harpy and Spyderhawk both offered with G-10 handles. I think if they had either of those models available in G-10 handles that profess...

I did own 2 of them at one time. And the one SPOT model that I did use and kind of liked was the G-10 han...

G-10 Hawkbill Anyone?

With the old Harpy thread being rekindled I got to thinking about a subject I've suggested in the past couple of years. And that is to consider one of Spyderco's finer Hawkbill models with a G-10 handle. I've said a few times previously that a Spyderhawk and/or a Harpy with a G-10 handle would draw ...

Re: Harpy

I challenge all of you to try a Harpy as a companion blade to your main EDC folder. The G-10 Harpy is truly a near perfect companion SE folder.

Doctor Lecter I also wish you would come back to Spyderville and help us with this revived thread. Long Live the HARPY!!

Re: NFL 2023-2024 Season

Giants and Patriots are so terrible that they couldn't combine their rosters, take the best players from all positions and form a team between the two of them and they STILL wouldn't make the playoffs! With all that being said it just doesn't make any sense that the Giants would let Saquon Barkley ...
