If it's between the S30V para and the GB, I would definitely go for the GB.

If it is one of the sprint para 2's then that would make it a tougher choice.

Thank you :)

Sal, I have question please, are both of the liners on the GB Air titanium?

I would guess that they are looking at the weight but I'm not sure. Great looking knife btw.

+1 I'd like to see some kind of interesting linear groove texture, to compliment the blade fuller (the knife's most striking feature, IMO). Those dimples are about as ugly as can be, and do seem like an afterthought that doesn't fit the rest of the design. I love everything else about it. I agree 1...

:D

Haha, but seriously I can't think of any original designs that have been that long in the making, although my knowledge is very limited. Maybe some of the Spydie oracle's know of one.

Zatx wrote:Maybe, but that is an update to an existing model. I don't think the original took 8+ years.

You're adding new rules as you go, I'm not playing any more :p :D

Resurrecting this post to show the incredibly long lead time on the Tuff. The first post was from 6 years ago and later in the thread we see the prototype had been shown for several years prior to this. Can you think of any other Spyderco that has been in development longer than this??? The Militar...

Every time I look at my ZT560 I think about the Tuff. Still can't belive they changed the ti texture on it.

Great pics though chaps :)

I love my slip joints too. Can't wait for the new Native-slip joint.

I'm gutted with those dimples. I loved the older texturing, it was one of my favorite features, along with that wicked blade shape in 3V of course.

I love the blade shape and grind on the Starmate. Top class.

+1 Good job well done! :)

After seeing the in hand pics from Amsterdam, this knife looks perfect to me, absolutely love it!

Please keep the same colour G10 that is on the proto though.

After seeing pics of the new Chaparal Ti, I can't wait to see Mr Blonde's amazing photos of it.

Also, the new fricion folder looks great too.

OK post deleted.

My M4 Manix2 came without any blemishes, pits or anything else on the blade. I did get it when it first came out though. I imagine your knife has been sitting at bentoboxshop since it was released. Who knows what kind of atmosphere is in their storage area? I have no experience with removing rust b...

Amazing thread. Amazing pics.

The new Chaparal looks stunning, can't wait to see your pics of it.

JNewell wrote:Ahhh. Actually, I had guessed that and hadn't had you in mind in any of my posts above. Glad you can still receive things like this with such a simple fix! :) :spyder:

Thanks for that :)

Like they say, where there's a will there's a way :D

As further encouragement, my older son (who lives on the other side of the country) and I both ordered two, and all four are completely perfect. The lockup is early, but safe. Other than that, nothing to say other than "perfect." :) The only reason I tinkered with mine was because the piv...

Welcome Chloe :) You sound like you have a very cool dad.
