Re: Can we get some Ultem scaled Sekis please?

Thanx much for sharing your thoughts. I also got a bunch of info from Brian H. Seems to be pretty controversial. I guess I'll watch the thread. sal Thanks for the consideration anyways Sal! I like the ideas of an Ultem-esque translucent brown G10 or FRCP as suggested by other members here as well. ...

Well, we could make roadside apple juice colored G10

I'm down with this also. I enjoy the translucent G10s like Blurple, Red, and Jade. An Ultem colored Translucent G10 would be great.

^^^ That doesn't sounds promising. Maybe best to scrap this idea. I still think it is a great looking material. I like the piss color.

Re: Can we get some Ultem scaled Sekis please?

^^ That's a bummer. Perhaps that was due to inferior Chinese PEI being used instead of the actual Ultem brand of PEI? I agree that it should definitely be stress tested before being considered for any production folder, because that is pretty concerning. Maybe the dream was over before it started. S...

That is a nice collection.

I stole that pic from the interwebs, but yes, it is collection of nice looking knives! I only really like Spyderco folders, so I dont have any ultem knives personally at the moment.

Re: Can we get some Ultem scaled Sekis please?

Can't tell how good or not it would hold up as a handle material and I think actually not a Seki knife, but the Chaparral would be the no 1 candidate to test the material (since this is the model meant to be a platform for displaying various handle materials. I had original hoped for a Delica in th...

Can we get some Ultem scaled Sekis please?

Ultem is a great material and looks amazing as well. I'd love to see a run of Seki models in Ultem with something like Cruwear. Yes, I know there are aftermarket options but I like factory direct stuff! :zany

Re: gray G-10 CPM-Cruwear... delica?

Absolutely. I would love to see Spyderco give the main Seki models both the Gray G10/Cruwear and Micarta/Cruwear treatment.

Delica, Delica Wharnie, Endela, Endura, and Jester, and Stretch XL in Cru-carta. I would buy them all, with many multiples of the Delica Wharnie and Jester.
