Spyderco Forums

Paul, I thoroughly agree with you regarding G10. The last G10 knife I carried regularly was the blue Forum Native and the only other G10 knives I own are a Harpy and a Forum Military. However, the skeletonised liners and adjustable pivot are enough for me to forget how much I dislike G10 :) . I got ...

I haven't been hanging around here as much as I used to (that's what happens when you have 3 computer literate kids :) ) so I may have missed this, if so I humbly apologise in advance. Anyway I found this post from Sal on BF and was so excited I just had to post it here. The proto Caly 3 is the same...

C'mon fellas, I need to generate a bit more interest in this before I can start hassling Sal :) .

This is about the only chance I'll get to be one up on you Paul, I'm 61 :p .

Happy New Year everyone. I seem to be on a bit of a roll with my wish list. First it was a Wharncliffe bladed Centofante, followed by a bolstered Calypso in ZDP189. Now that the Centofante is a reality and the Calypso is coming (disguised as a lock-back UK Penknife) I reckon it's time to see if I ca...

I'm thankful for a loving, kind and considerate partner, and 3 wonderful children. I'm thankful for a good job and a boss who has allowed me to follow my dreams and come towards the end of my career with a real feeling of accomplishment. I'm thankful for good health which has allowed me to enjoy the...

:D :) :D I totally agree, although don't tell my wife I said so :p .

Michael, I'm glad you like it. I've been carrying mine for a nearly a week now and it has displaced my Calypsos as my favourite EDC. The thinness of the blade means that it is at least as good a slicer as the Calypso despite the hollow grind. My Vesuvius, which has a slightly thicker blade, makes an...

I've bought several knives from them including a Yin/Yang Cricket. I've forgotten the name of the gentleman I dealt with and, unfortunately, I've changed email programs and would have some trouble finding it now. Maybe somebody else who's dealt with them might remember. He was most helpful and we ha...

G'day Sal, My Centofante IV arrived from NGK yesterday and I couldn't be more delighted with it. I know it probably would have happened even without my nagging but it is nice to think that I may have had some small part in it coming to fruition :D . I've always liked the ergonomics of the Vesuvius/C...

Kristi, you are a class act.

cheers,

Great idea Paul. I've passed on both Mannix (not sure what the plural should be :) ), but I'd buy that one in a flash.

Sal, that's great news. It's because Spyderco is always open to new ideas that I am a totally one-eyed Spyderco user, collector and supporter.

cheers,

Very nice Paul. I've been toying with the idea of grabbing an Evrina Kopa for scrimshawing, but now I'm not so sure. You're going to have to stop posting pics of all your beautiful knives, it just makes life difficult for he rest of us :D .

take care,
clay

I've been pushing for bolsters and fancy scales but there doesn't seem to a lot of support for that :( . If a simpler knife would be better received I would much prefer micarta scales like the original Calypso rather than G10. However, I would also like the blade shape of the UK Penknife, i.e no swe...

Sak is asking for opinions in this thread over at BF. Please hop on over there and contribute if you like the idea as much as I do .

cheers,

Thanks Sal, another one to look forward to.

take care,

Just saw this thread over at BF. It's great news if it's true. The Remote Release is one knife I really regret not buying when they were around.

I just had a look at the AG Russell "Seamaster" for the first time. It is a pretty impressive knife all round but the thing I like the most is the the serrations on the front of the blade rather than the back. That has always made a lot of sense to me and I hope :spyder: will consider it f...

I'm up for the Centofante of course. I like the look of the D'Allara, but I think I better keep saving in case the ZDP-189 Chinese Folder actually gets made .
