Re: Amsterdam Meet 2015 report of upcoming Spyderco prototypes

If the graphic is blue on the pingo I'm in but in the catalog where it's purple. No thanks. Great eye for detail! I never noticed that until you mentioned it. I also would prefer the blue........if I were to be picking one up. But this knife just isn't calling to me.........nothing that I can put m...

Re: Sal's Casual Bombshell Thread

There's still some Super Blue models left to make too, right? Jester, Police, Kiwi, Cento 3 & 4? Never heard of a Superblue Police Model before? Where has this come from? Is there a "Bombshell" that I missed? That would be an interesting version .........but if it were to be laminated...

Re: Sal's Casual Bombshell Thread

^ Happy! Sir, Are any future plans to run Caly3.5/Caly3 with HAP40? Not at this time. sal ^ and Sad. Yes, very, very sad! :( Perhaps with SG2 then........that would be a very happy announcement. Or, any new G10/CF Caly 3.5 (not 3.4) announcement would be awesome. The now disco'd VG-10 Caly 3.5 hasn...

Re: Amsterdam Meet 2015 report of upcoming Spyderco prototypes

One thing that keeps coming to mind when looking at these pictures on the large screen monitor is just how great the quality and resolution the macro pictures of these knives are. The photos were always impeccable in the past but I am also wondering if they are now at a slightly higher resolution th...

Re: Amsterdam Meet 2015 report of upcoming Spyderco prototypes

The ergos on the Mamba were, to me, like a slightly more hand-filling Manix XL, which is to say: completely amazing. I imagine it would feel large in the pocket because of this, but it was a stunning specimen. I'm just really not sure where the heck I'd use the darn thing. Thanks for the info on th...

Re: S110V Manix- not ideal for wood working

This is why I'd love to see one made in solid G10 without liners, that would keep the weight down and make for a smoother grip. I like the bidirectional FRN, but it can be rough on the hands. When I did my 2000 cut test through double wall cardboard, it got a little rough towards the end. But, like...

Man, from a prior post of yours regarding your avatar pic......if that Avatar is your ex-girlfriend then you really must have some game going on considering that your profile tells me that you are about a decade older than I am.

Re: S110V Manix- not ideal for wood working

I must say having handled the LW a few times and comparing the feeling against my normal manix2 the lw is for my personally not as good in hand as the regular one. The Frcp feels very good for normal day to day use but not in the role of a hard work knife. :) Actually this one is FRN.......it is th...

Re: Amsterdam Meet 2015 report of upcoming Spyderco prototypes

I don't know about the Mamba. On first impression, it looks a little like a fantasy wizard knife from a mall kiosk (though much higher quality). I'd really like to see it in person. Probably a lot better actually in hand. Maybe it'll grow on me? I do like the Lil Temp 2 a lot! Maybe a little, but t...

Re: Amsterdam Meet 2015 report of upcoming Spyderco prototypes

That Mamba is incredible! Absolutely Beautiful! Just having fun with the fonts :) So far its the Ion and the Mamba for me. Both gorgeous and also not really overlapping in the carry circumstances. Ion for the office and Mamba for when :confused: .......whenever, I am feeling extra sexy. That knife ...

Re: Spyderco ARK Proto

Yeah, that's it. It is called Stripes and it is a Bill Murray classic. Plus it has some other great actors. "Lighten up Francis" is kind of a famous quote from the movie. I would watch it if you can, one of my all time favs. Yeah, kind of old, from the early 80's. Yeah, I remember it too ...

No problem Darby.....I agree that its time to move on. But......... index.jpg Had to look it up since it is an oldie......but is this the movie you were referring to? Hmmm, not sure if that makes things any better :confused: .........but I'll hold off on penciling you into the list for now. :D

Wow, that ION is a beauty! See.......I do give positive feedback as well as critical feedback ;) I was never a fan of the Southard......just my opinion :rolleyes: and even though I liked the all black one aesthetically - the feel in hand and the slower flipper action (as compared to my Domino) just ...

Lighten up Francis. :D You are long winded. It was a fair jab and I believe it was meant in jest. Are you related to Nutnfancy? :eek: Seriously, you are kind of long winded and you certainly know that when jump up on your soapbox someone might try to knock you off of it.

Re: Spyderco ARK Proto

Again, for the specific application the Ark was created for, FRN makes a **** of a lot more sense. It is meant to be worn 24/7 on the neck... On duty through sweat, in the SHOWER, wherever it stays on your person. FRN's volcano grip will be superior to the peel ply G10 in terms of grip when wet. Ba...
