Fantasy Sprint Run
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

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.HistoricalMan wrote:Personally, I would choose a CF Delica 4 with the new FFG blades in S30V.
Im not good at sharpening, even with a sharpmaker. How get your blade good can your blade with an edge pro system? - Bladeforums user

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.
Nice!
- Dragonfly - bright orange FRN, thin skeletonized liners, all titanium screw/wire clip construction and heavier duty pivot, 3mm thick H1 flatground blade. :eek: :)
- Delica 4 - bright orange G10 and H1 blade fully SE. :eek: :)
- Lava - any carbon fiber variation and any decent steel. :eek: :)
- Ladybug 3 - any carbon fiber variation in hawkbill blade and s30v plain edge. :eek: :)

SPYDERCO doesn't blend...and i like it!
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.
