Official Sprint Request Poll - Schempp Kris

[HotSoup]

Simple as that ladies and gentleman.
Do we, or do we not want an Ed Schempp Kris Sprint Run?

Maybe get some of that beautiful red G-10? Though, I really wouldn't mind seeing another colour G-10 either.

My vote is YES.

PS Thanks Sal and Ed for the Red Persians! Gave a young newbie like me the chance to pick up a true classic.

I'd like a Kris sprint run. I am not picky on the color - as long as it isn't green or orange.

I'm trying to collect all of Ed's spydies and the Kris is really out of my reach right now. There's no rush for a sprint. I can wait a few years.

[v8r]

I vote heck yes!!!! :D I'm Ok with red, but would like dark green with Brass pins.

[HotSoup]

^Brass bolsters! and brown Micarta?!?! or Desert Ironwood?

[gbelleh]

I was lucky enough to find a great deal on an original Kris, but I'd definitely get a sprint too. I think dark green G-10 would be very cool.

I don't see where this is a great candidate for sprint run. As far as I can tell the original did not sell all that well.

I would rather seem more new knives than a ton of sprints. IMHO.

I also believe the original was regular production, so they probably made way more than they sold, and it was considered a 'failure'? Don;t quote me on that, its just my best guess.

They can always do a small sprint of 600. 200 will automatically be sold to CC members, leaving 400 for the rest of us, whom will definitely buy multiples. I'm pretty sure a small sprint would do just fine.

I would like a G-10 model similar to the upcoming G-10 Persian.

I voted no for the simple fact that a Schempp sprint just came out. Nothing personal aganist Ed, I just think it would be nice to get different types of sprints .


Please note: I am not trying to say that just because Ed has had a recent sprint means there should never be any more, just not this early after one recently being relaease. I'd rather a dodo, jester, lava caly jr, etc sprint first.

You do realize this poll, if Sal takes it to heart AT ALL, won't materialize into a knife FOR MONTHS? PERHAPS EVEN OVER A YEAR?

Not like the Kris will be made for a long time. A vote YES just means you'd like to see one eventually. Spyderco has tons of models in the works as we speak....

The last time I checked, there weren't nearly that many active CC #s.

I missed out on the Kris first time around, and would probably buy one.

Where did you check? I'm pretty sure I remember seeing the number as 200. I very well could be wrong.

Soup... easy... I know this is a poll and do not expect this to materialize over night... Just contributing to the thread.

And I'm just pointing out that your reasoning for a 'no' vote, as stated by you, is flawed.

If you simply don't want to see a Kris sprint, than thats fine, vote No.

If you want to see one eventually, vote Yes.

[Jay_Ev]

Maybe some time in the future, but not at this time. I voted 'no' (sorry )
It's barely been two weeks since the last sprint and asking for another one so soon after one just came out kinda seems inappropriate

I'm perfectly fine and grateful that Spyderco answered our call by making the Red Persian.

Thats what I was trying imply(maybe I did not do such a good job).

[ozspyder]

YES ! of course..... the options should have been
1) Yes :)
2) **** YES !!! :p
3) All of the above :D

[markg]

Yea, I think forum members get some "sprint fatigue" after awhile. Half of all new threads are "Please Sal can we have a Vagabond Sprint PLEASE!!!" The other 1/3 are "what color should the new forum knife be!?!?"

I know this hobby can be that way, I have to resist the urge to lust after the next new knife.

[HotSoup]

Hahaha, well its all Spyderco's fault! They got us hooked, and now like crack-addicts we want more :D :D

[Phrenik]

I do agree with both sides on this, and given the idea that it will not be something thought about for months, I did vote yes. Hopefully in a dark Pine green color with brass screws/rivets. And I don't know about the legalities/others idea on this / ability to make it - But I was thinking if the Kris's tip was to be more recessed in the handle, then perhaps a short portion of it could be sharpened, so it has a double edge like dagger/ kris. but I know there are a lot of barriers, and lesser value in terms of functionality. Its just a thought I wanted to tickle
