Carbon Fiber Spin

#1

Post by supermatch38sa »

Hello my friends, here are some pictures of a Carbon fiber Spin, I´ve heard that it is going to be gifted to a famous Chicago Fireman which is a very nice guy and a good standing member here ;) .
Please let me know what you think guys, it lost a lot of weight (original scale was 185 grains and CF is only 43.6 grains).
Kindest regards:
Jose

I like the Spin with the carbon fiber scale; didn't care for it before, but then I'm not a stainless steel handle fan.

Fine work, classy result.
Our reason is quite satisfied, in 999 cases out of every 1000 of us, if we can find a few arguments that will do to recite in case our credulity is criticized by someone else. Our faith is faith in someone else's faith, and in the greatest matters this is most the case.

That's a nice 'spin' on the Spin!! It must weigh almost nothing!! The regular one is nice and light. I'd love to get mine done like that! Very, very nice!!

I'm envious. :D

Hi, it weighs 0.96 Oz. vs. 1.35 Oz. original factory weight, just in case you wanted to know.

wow it is so seemlessly built you would think it is a normal production model...
a newb would say "i cant find it in the spyderco catalog?"

Very nice work. I would like to see the Spin in G-10 as well. I'm just not a huge SS fan.
