Great minds think alike.

Thanks so much for the pictures, Wouter. Your skill never ceases to amaze.

Looks like that Bradley model will be my first Spyderco fixed blade. :D

I'm a wire clip advocate. I think they look a lot classier and the bronzed versions do look a lot more discreet as well. I'd be very happy if many more models came with a low-riding wire clip.

I just got done using my PE K04 tonight and have to agree with hunter. I don't have large hands but a larger grip would be nice. The thin profile makes it a really nice slicer and it's so light in hand, that prep work seems to go quicker. It is not very large but is perfect as a utility knife. I pre...

The complete collapse of society is not likely to come from an economic collapse. Think of history for a moment. Humans have survived for thousands of years and maintained sophisticated societies without modern technology nor conveniences. Our institutions would adapt despite social unrest because u...

Exactly. Kinda depends on what we're trying to accomplish here. The OP was for a Sprint. In that vein, I support a lock. But as a mule project, mainly to test the steels in EDC carry, UKPK should serve that function well. Ken You've landed in the same opinion as what I am expressing in this thread....

Hi guys. Based on another thread, I decided to put up a poll to gauge interest on the UKPK model. The FRN UKPK is currently made in Golden and offers a lightweight, affordable, non-locking, ergonomic design. Would any of you :spyder: -afi's be interested in UKPK sprint runs that sported American-mad...

+1 to Roman's FFG UKPK mule idea I am a huge fan of the Calypso design and would love to try American supersteels on that platform. Although I prefer locks, a lightweight, FFG UKPK would be a must-buy for me if it sported S90V, 20CP, XHP, etc. For those that may scoff and think that's overkill for a...

Looks great, Matthew. I find that black is classic and classy (I apologize for the alliteration :p ).

LMAO. :D

On a more serious note, is there any knowledge of new, stainless, Japanese powdered-metallurgical steels? We constantly hear of new offerings from Carpenter and there's a number from Crucible and Bohler.

I oil all of my knives, except my Salt 1 (H1 really is rust-proof, in my experience).

It would be hard for me to disagree with this statement. Just make sure to keep the clips a dark bronze color and I'll be content. :)

Sal,

What about micarta scales for the Caly? Would the rivets and non-recessed liners prevent warping?

If I remember correctly, Sal said in the first part of 2014. I would think that a conservative guess would be by early summer.

I think it has helped me with my seasonal allergies this year. I've been eating a lot more honey throughout the summer and when the fall allergies hit, I recovered a lot faster and they were a lot less severe. Make sure to get local honey and try to eat some everyday (in coffee, tea, cereal, etc.) I...

I hope we at least get to see more exclusive (stainless) steels used in the Caly 3.5. Does anyone know if Hitachi has other cutlery steels that Spyderco has yet to show off?

Kiwi 4 is a must-buy. I'm thinking of picking up the new UKPK FFG. I have a trip to NY this summer and would like a legal :spyder: on me while I'm visiting. Strange, the new UKPK's seem to be non-existent in the U.S. :confused:

I think it's time the Caly-nation gets a U.S. version of the Caly 3.5. Flat pivot screw (ala the recent Calypso sprint) and compression lock. Imagine adding some U.S. supersteels to that ... :eek:

I have both and I find myself leaning toward the Caly. I like the N5, don't misunderstand, but the additional weight and thickness are not things that I see as EDC benefits. Granted, when I get a tough cutting session coming up (carpet, cardboard, rope, etc.) then I will definitely be choosing the N...

KIWI 4, Looks like a MOKI made knife, if so I'm in. I think I see pinned construction, except for the pivot, as in the Caly series. :) great knives MOKI. I was hoping the Kiwi 4 was Moki-made as well but it looks like it will be made by Seki. I'm sure they can match the f&f we are used to with ...
