Spyderco Forums

i apparently wasn't paying very close attention when i first read this thread. Just a moment ago, i read again and realized it's the OP who made the comment about the 5" Perrin "not ideal for the woods". ??? If you have already decided you don't care for it, or not for certain purpose...

Another vote for the 5" Perrin, for general purposes and light weight. The new hatchet if you plan on a lot of chopping firewood & for shelter building.

hap40 for me, but vg10 and a lower price would also be sweet.

I'd really like the chance to buy a couple of combo edges. I know AFIs have "moved on" from the combo obsession years ago, but many tool users, including one of my sons, have not. A combo police 4 would make a great gift for him & others.

"This entire thing is ridiculous." Amen. There's a lotta crap on youtube, folks. That said, I've carried spydercos for years and never NEEDED to take one apart. Now of course, after i paid for them, they are MY knives. I'll take them apart if i ever need to, if i jolly well please, or if i...

Caly 3 and stretch for me, thank you...

both in frn versions (most bang for the buck) and/or (as long as wishes are horses) in old school polished black paper micarta. Yet another option: black paper micarta with tasteful reverse scrimshaw.

Bolstered damascus stretch? Boooooooyah!

i like the way you guys think!

The Hossums would be good choices, I'm a big fan of the Perrin street bowie, esp if i want to travel light. Folders? Too many good choices to list!

I have one of the older micarta caly jr & they are mighty sweet!

I'd love to see that!

1 or 2 for me, please.

Speaking of the hap40 sprint...any idea when?

Big fan of the caly here. My first choice would be frn and vg10 .

I'm very interested in the new version, but i'm another elu so fond of the police 3 that i really wonder what remains to be refined or improved. Inquiring minds want to know!

One feature i'd like to see is a 1/2 serrated option as is still available (afaik) on the steel police.

Police with hap 40 would be Outstanding!

Wouldn't mind zdp or carpenter steel either...

I'm down with a harpy sprint, but i'd REALLY like to see a spyderhawk serrated sprint, almost any steel or handle. I'd prefer frn to keep the cost down, any color but burgundy. But wouldn't turn up my nose at other handles.

I'm a big fan of the FB04 5" Perrin as a lightweight hiker & general purpose fixed blade. Weight is listed as 3.65 oz! I don't find 5" too long at all, especially since i always carry a folder, generally pairing it with a 3" caly or mini-dyad. They don't weigh much either. If the ...

Superblue for me, please.

When can we buy a silver one?

One of the big Hossums, but in a folder...original Manix or chinook 1
