SuperHawk...SuperLeaf...SuperWharncliffe!

The Super___ platform is a great platform for blades. Great handling and ergonomics...great lock...Spyderco's best clip...great looks.

Sal, I'd love to see a Wharcliffe blade in this platform - the SuperWharn. :cool:

I suspect it would not blow the doors off either Shipping or Accounting...but the 'Hawk probably didn't, either...how 'bout a SuperWharn???

:spyder:

I was wondering if this is a series like the Sages.
A super tanto would be nice too.

Perhaps the Yojimbo 2 is the superwharn.

Not at all - it has a Wharncliffe blade and the compression lock, but the handle is entirely different (because of its intended uses). Part of what makes the SuperHawk/SuperLeaf such a fabulous knife is the handle. Change that and you have an entirely different knife. :spyder: ;)

I like the idea of the SuperWharn. And a SuperRecurve, as well as a SuperSheepsfoot (or would that be a SuperRescue?) :)

While we're at it let's just make the blades interchangeable so we can save money and swap the blades when we feel like it. one handle 6 blades.

The closest thing might be the Breeden Rescue. Maybe not the same but a nice substitute. That or the Yo2.

I'd like to see an official one though as mentioned. Agreed it would be a cruddy seller, hehe.

+1. I should have thought of that. Besides the Yojimbo 2 is hollow-ground, and I'd like a FFG SuperWharn. Afterall, Spyderco has got to to *something* with that S110V stock they've got sitting around. :D

I'd like to try out a Wharncliffe, but I'm not sure that the super platform is best for that. I think a lot of people who want to try out other blade shapes like the wharncliffe or hawkbill are looking for cheaper ways to try out those blades, and may not be ready to jump all in and buy a high end carbon fiber model. Maybe that's what happened to the Superhawk?

This Super___ platform idea is brilliant! :eek:

It should allow the production of some VERY interesting & useful new knives. :D
All the best for you,

I think a SuperRescue might be a cool idea, too. :) Recurves...I like them well enough but they seem to be the most dislike blade around. Even the modest recurve on the Benchmade 710 seems to attract a fair amount of vitriol. :( A SuperRecurve might make the SuperHawk look like a raging best-seller??? :o
