Fantasy Sprint Run

#1

Post by HistoricalMan »

I thought this might be a fun little thread. Keep in mind, this is all hypothetical!

Imagine Mr. Sal Glesser himself contacts you. He informs you that, as a thank you for your continued patronage and support of Spyderco, he would like to offer you the opportunity of selecting a knife for a sprint run. He says you can pick any knife, and even gives you final say on steel and handle material(s). The only catch is that it can only be a discontinued or current production model. No upcoming or prototype knives.

Personally, I would choose a CF Delica 4 with the new FFG blades in S30V. Either that or a run of Mini-Persians with a damascus blade.

What about you guys, what would you pick? :p

Ti/G10 Millie with s110v. I'm assuming I'd get one for free or discounted for my services. You hear that Sal? You do this you owe me (lol not really but please do make it)!

I would choose either a Millie with milled Ti liners and S110V blade or a Bradley with Ti liners instead of SS and a DLC-coated M4 blade.

That would be sweet. I've been EDCing a D4 ZDP for a month and a half now, and I've been wondering what it would be like if it had an S30V or CPM D2 or maybe even an XHT blade.
Im not good at sharpening, even with a sharpmaker. How get your blade good can your blade with an edge pro system? - Bladeforums user

Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like? - Some Online Meme

Gayle Bradley with alternative steels. Extended jimping on top and jimping added to the bottom tang. G10 scales. Expand the line-up for this knife, it really is an extraordinary design.

Lil Temp Sprint Run would be my choice. I would ask Sal to offer his preferences on steel and handle material but then of course I would make the final decision :D

A H1 (Hollow ground, naturally) Street Beat with yellow canvas micarta handles is #1 on my wish list. Another highlight: Lava with twill carbon fiber handle (Like the Sage 1's), VG-10 or ZDP-189 steel. Ayoob and large Dyad in any non-metal handle and currently used blade steel. And, hmm... Ladybug 3 with a Jester blade. ;)
Newest :spyder: in hand: Halloween Handle Hap40 Endura and Delica.

1. A set of C83, C105 Persians and baby Persian (2.5" blade) VG10 with stag horn handle, no Boye dent, no clip
2 Clipless Kopa, stag, nice burl (amboyna, cocobolo, desert iron wood), malachite.
3. Caly3 with bolsters and wood or bone handle (jigged bone, the same color as micro-Dyad would be very nice).
4. Shabaria, white or antique ivory micarta.
"People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf"

My top choices Natives5, Calys, C83 Persian
