Anyone interrested in a new run of Waved Matriarchs
I saw a post about the matriarch on BF and think it would be a great knife to make a sprint run in.
Matriarch 4 with a wave and a wireclip!
Who would like the resurection of the Matriarch?

It's better to be judged by 12 than to be carried by 6

Jim, am a bit unclear on what you're asking for. When you say Matriarch 4 do you mean built using the Endura 4 handle? With either handle, I think a wire clip miight be less feasible, as it would require additional tooling. I would rate a waved version of the original one, using the original barrel bolt style clip, as the most feasible since the tooling probably still exists for the blade and lockbar, and the handle mold is still being used for the Pacific.Jim Malone wrote:I saw a post about the matriarch on BF and think it would be a great knife to make a sprint run in.

Definately like to see a sprint on the Matriarch. Been trying to get my hands on one for quite awhile now. However, I prefer the "original" form or an upgraded original form. No wave.
I voted original, but that's only because I'm not a fan of the wave. I'm all for improvements like nested liners, updated handle, etc.

i dunno... :rolleyes:
the matriarch I rarely carry (i don't have a Civilian) coz if i had a choice b/w carrying a specialized SD only knife vs. one with a utilitarian blade config....and coz i only like to carry one knife at once....So for example i'd much rather carry my Tasman Salt, Yojimbo or even Dodo....for SD and general use.... :rolleyes:

wasn't it tip down carry? so they would have to move the clip position.
and they haven't done that on the civilian in 10, maybe 12 years, even with the 4 way clips on several other knives. i think they are content with it's configuration, and wouldn't spend money redesigning a sprint run. i don't think they changed anything signifigant for the Lum Chinese release. of course, who knows until we get them

That's a bit tough to say. Matriarch is an awesome knife, and essentially an affordable version of the Civilian (well, maybe in its production days ) So far as putting a wave on it, it's tough to say how well the mechanics of speed draw would work out. Maybe if this were a small sprint run of the original with a wave ground in it would be feasible to do, but retooling for new scales and liners?... that's a tough one to justify. The Civilian seems to be holding down the fort pretty well in that department, and the P'Kal will be along soon to fill the waved-hawkbill position. I'll obstain from the poll on this one...
