Technically, there've already been two Sprint Runs of the Worker, even though they were not called that. One was the already mentioned 20th Anniversary Worker, the other was the Evolution Set. That said, there would definitely be something symbolic about a 30th Anniversary Worker Sprint this year. ...

Worker Sprint

Spyderco puts out a ton of sprint runs of cool new knives as well updates of classics. Why have they never (in my limited knowledge) put out a sprint run of the Worker. I'm thinking of one with Ti scales instead of Stainless (or stainless, as long as it isn't FRN, CF or G-10.) How cool would that be...

Really? I was always able to open and close my Para left handed easier and I'm a righty.

It's crazy the amount of Manix sprints coming out. Due to myself living out of the country and I have one with another on the way coming I will skip this one.

The thread was closed when I went to it last night. Seems it's open now. Got my name in the non-US list. All good now.
Sorry I didn't check that out. In that case you have a PM now. :D

I got a pm from him detailing the instructions on how to purchase it but missed the non-USA buyers pm. I saw it tonight. I went to the thread but it's locked so I'm not sure what to do now. Anybody know what the people outside of America have to do to purchase it? Just email Jon directly and he wil...

Just got a pm from Jon and for the international customers it looks like you don't have to print something out and mail it, so I will be getting one after all. I think the GITD scales are awesome so I was hoping to get one, even if I don't use it.

You have to follow a link, run a search with the keyword he gives you, check out through the system, print out the order, write in your forum handle and mail the order sheet and check to the address provided. I'm not going to go out, buy a printer, take it home, unpack it, set it up and install it ...

I got the email, but being from Canada I had to enter another list so we can purchase at another time when Jon has the details worked out. I love my current FG Manix sprint very much so this one will be very nice.

I remember when I live in Nanaimo, British Columbia it was like that too, maybe a few days it actually snowed in the winter. The place would just shut down, nobody knew what to do.

If I never went to work when it snowed I wouldn't work for 6 months of the year. We get that much snow at least every week. No 4X4 for me, I drive a little hatchback with snow tires, never have problems and so far never got stuck yet. I drive a truck for work, so I have to drive 1/2 hour to work and...

I finally snagged one of the FB04 Street Bowies (the OD green/black blade sprint) and I have to say it has the weirdest ergonomics of any knife I have. I suppose it might work great as a fighting knife, but that isn't what I use my knives for, and it is just too uncomfortable for me to use for util...

Though I'm not sure of exact numbers (trying to recall them from when I took heattreating in college) I'm pretty sure a dishwasher and hairdryer will come nothing close to causing a loss in temper however. Grinding on the blade for a extended period of time will cause a loss in temper, but I don't t...

My survival knife is a Street Beat. I would love a G-10 Bushcraft, but funds won't allow right now. The Street Beat I think is a decent size knife for survival. I have several nice hatchets I would have with me for bigger stuff. I've used a hatchet since I was 5 years old, so I'm pretty decent with ...

What I would like to see is a knife that looks exactly like the Lum tantos of yore, but with a 4.5" blade and Ti scales with a RIL, that would be my dream blade. Sort of a tactical Spyderco Sebenza on steroids. Obviously a wire pocket clip would be the icing on the cake so to speak. Just a big ...

Thanks for posting pics. I have a Manix 2 and love the lock, does this one function in a similar fashion to the Manix 2? Also does it have lines milled into the G10 or is it just a G10 handle?
