Having had a compulsory 6-month stint at our school's "outdoor education campus", one word of advice: whatever your plan, actually take your kit out into the bush or wherever and try it out. At worst, you'll learn that something doesn't work, or you need something that you didn't pack, at ...

The 2003 catalogue I've got here says that the Lil' T was in CPMS30V, so yes, they did, but unfortunately I'm unsure as to how many there are.

markg, I think he's already tried (and failed) to get H-1 to rust. You do have a good point though, about getting H-1 to corrode. MacTech, how about adding different chemicals to the mix (in small quantities at first), and seeing if there's a reliable trigger to make H-1 rust/corrode (this sounds li...

I agree with smcfalls13, the main issue would be whether it's going to be worthwhile for Spyderco, which would depend on the trainer sales, and how many people would prefer to buy a trainer for the waved version, rather than just putting up or modifying their old trainer.
