Re: Sal's Casual Bombshell Thread
I think Sal was designing a Bowie no? Might that be the Respect?

FRN Caly 3.5 would be a must buy for me. If it had the deep carry wire clip that would be icing on the cake.linuxology wrote:Indeed epic.

We've got a Caly 3.5 FRN model on the drawing board.

Maybe pave the way for a 4" Calypso in FRN? :)

Re: Sal's Casual Bombshell Thread
I was literally thinking about a 4" Calypso this morning! Get outta my head! :D Would like to see it Linerless G10 but FRN would be cool. Maybe like the new Chaparral or UKPK/Urban. Maybe with CQI to include deep carry wire clip and jimping?rwponline wrote:FRN Caly 3.5 would be a must buy for me.

More from Sal:
"Hi,
I guess I spoke a bit early, so I can't say too much,
Fixed blade, made in Golden.

Re: Sal's Casual Bombshell Thread
Fixed blade made in Golden. Sounds interesting. I cannot recall any fixed blades made in Golden except original Ronin.

Re: Sal's Casual Bombshell Thread
IDK if this was posted here but it should be.
"The Shaman is kind of an experimental model. I spent years developing the model and a great deal of that time was in many different handles. Materials, textures, etc. until I finally decided on the current iteration. We'll watch reaction to the model before doing too much. I'd like a carbon fiber S90V version. If its popular, I'm sure one of our distributors will want various exclusive variations.

Maybe the Ankerson/Sander collaboration? A big bowie campknife fighter would be cool.
Two different knives.
I heard Sal was working on one, dunno anything about it however.
Don't have any updated info on mine either.
Re: Sal's Casual Bombshell Thread
The Ankerson/Sanders model is different and should be out long before the Respect.

Re: Sal's Casual Bombshell Thread
I think I'm going to wait until KnivesPlus makes up another batch of acid washed S30V ones and get one with the standard black handle ($10 cheaper than the orange). I like the orange, but I think acid wash goes better with black.Holland wrote:Oh my, I can't decide if I want the s30v or the hap40 wharncliffe d4....
