A Chinook 4 with the Chinook 2 grind would be wonderful! :D

Would anyone agree?

I would instantly buy two! :D

Hi Sal,

have you made a decision regarding a short run of the Perrin Bowie in micarta?

Many thanks for your help!

Manfred



Hey Vanguard,

We always appreciate input. I can speak with the maker about a Perrin Bowie proto in micarta. These are tough times and they might be interested in a short ...

This Super___ platform idea is brilliant! :eek:

It should allow the production of some VERY interesting & useful new knives. :D

Many thanks for your thoughts, help and time!

Yes, the edge is sharp.

Attached you find a pic of the front side.

So some hours after my "out-of-the-box-disappointment":

- I have a brand new EDC
- and I have to buy another one for the collection

It's not just the uneven grind.
The edge grind is much higher than on any of my other Stretches (e.g. my CF one, of which I have attached comparison photos).

If I would live in the U.S., I surely would send it to Golden, as I am not skilled in sharpening - but unfortunately such a "mission" isn't ...

I love Spyderco.

I love the CF Stretch.

I love the Black FRN Stretch even more.

I have been looking forward to the Blue FRN Stretch in ZDP-189 to be my all-time #1 Spyderco.

And exactly this one came with the worst edge grind ever seen on a Seki Spyder.

Has anyone else received a Blue Stretch ...

If we would see a second run of the Forum Native,
any future announcement of a "limited to xxx pieces run"
would be meaningless.

From the pictures available at the bay, the handle color
looks pretty much the very same as on the ZDP Delica.

In the Supplement Catalog the blue is much darker.

Has there been a last-minute change of color?

:D Top knife choice! :D

I hope everybody who is interested, gets the opportunity to handle this blade
– you will be impressed quite a bit.

:) Top idea to raise knife funds! :)

I would sign up this minute!

Welcome to this wonderful place - I bet you will enjoy your stay! :)

There is only one knife that I adore more than my CF Stretch:

the FRN Stretch

(due to its lower weight and the slightly thicker handle)

I hope everybody who is interested, gets the opportunity to handle this blade
– you will be impressed quite a bit.

Sal,

many thanks for letting us participate in a new project!

- clear - if technically feasible this would be THE positive eyecatcher - especially for all technically interested people, "cool people", ...

- gunmetal / dark gray

- maroon / dark brick red

- flat dark earth or a darker tan ...

This is a very good idea - a Stretch handle with "no" color.

Just imagine 38 hamsters running in cages that drives the Spyderco company.
We're all running as fast as we can.

This I don't doubt for an instant!

And then you have to read my "I have already been looking forward to using this blue wonder in August."

Please be forgiving and consider ...

Hmmm.

Yes, that is the sad truth ...

I have already been looking forward to using this blue wonder in August.

But Paul has warned us about being too enthusiastic.

sal wrote: The Stretch-ZDP-FRN is a darker blue than the Delica. I believe it's called "Night-sky", and it is scheduled for this year. Probably in the fall.

Sal,

many thanks for the news from the :spyder: HQ!

I am very happy about the darker blue FRN - which makes the wait even worse.

Welcome to this wonderful place - I bet you will enjoy your stay! :)

I really do hope you find a UKPK with black G-10 scales, as IMHO they are already quite rare.

Hard to say if it will be EXACTLY the same color as the ZDP Delica. It's my understanding that FRN is naturally colorless and dye is added to create the color. Given that, exact color matches between batches, even batches made one right after another, may be difficult to achieve. All the more so ...
