Any news about how production is going on the Ti Chaparral and it's possible release date?

FFG mos dev! Not that a saber grind sucks or anything ... I own more saber grind Delicas than FFG, but that's just because the FFG is a newer option, and many of my Delicas are older.

I preordered a Orange PARA-MILITARY 2 - C81GPOR2 CTS-XHP from Cutlery Shpppe/Jeff a couple months back.
This might be the only preorder he's done though ... I don't know.

Every knows it's the Chokwe. +1 Sung to the tune of "Everyone Knows It's Slinky" I don't care much for the looks of the Chokwe, but it has the thinnest flatground blade of all my Spyderco's, and I'd have to name it best slicer. I modded the heck out of it BTW http://i554.photobucket.com/a...

Yeah .. I Googled my name ... not very spectacular results ... sigh

Love your knives though Brad!! :cool:

Great pictures and pertinent/objective testing Xavier. I've chipped out a 3v full tang camping knife before by going too far edge-wise (25deg inclusive) and batoning like crazy with it, I considered it part of learning. Here's your quote ... " It would be nice if a steel could be designed such ...

Just an option like "Titanium" instead of "Something Fancier (Titanium, Bolsters, etc) " would have been more appropriate for my choice.
Seems like it excludes choice by being vague.

Ok ... that explains the "Can't find a vendor" syndrome I was experiencing.

My reaction: I'd buy a few if the cost were right Sal! They look great!

Are these a Spyderco product? If so, when might they be released? http://i554.photobucket.com/albums/jj405/JayBee3_photos/BugBead1.jpg Ok ... I found this thread http://spyderco.com/forums/showthread.php?t=53972&highlight=beads I'm still wondering if these will be a Spyderco product or a Schmuck...

oopps ... old thread ... post irrelevant now

Hollows are easier to get clean looking grind lines on during the making (using jigs) , and they slice well on shorter shallower pieces ..
FFG's are have less drag/more control, and can make thinner slices when batoning/push cutting logs , sticks, cardboard and plastic. IMHO

When is the release date for the Techno w/ CTS-XHP steel?
?? Or possibly s90v??
Thank you in advance,

Speculation on production knives is a tough row to hoe.

C76P Schempp, C11JBBP Damascus Schempp, 1011 Titanium Japanese release, FFG ZDP-189
Make one with a S90V or CTS-XHP blade and I'd bump that list though!

Great thread! It's been good to feast my eyes on all the Coolest, Stock, Pimped, Rare, and Holy Grail Delica's I've ever seen in one place!
3 of my favs SS ... Ti ... and Shempp (sorry for bad pic quality)

I like your knife choices! Welcome to SF!
