I would LOVE MANY FRN spydie-Beads! I would choose FRN, because Spyderco would be the FIRST to do that! Also, pewter is way too soft and all my pewter beads look torn up after a short while.sal wrote:Hi Mwalle6,
Interestinbg timing for your subject. We have recently been discussing producing a lanyard bead. We drew up a bead that hand a bug logo slightly raised on four sides of the "rounded" bead.
We didn't knwo if there would be enough interest to produce such an accessory? We had thought to make them out of pewter or tool up and make one out of FRN (lighter and color options).
Thoughts?

I’d REALLY like to acquire some .925 Sterling Silver Beads, maybe a limited run? (Starlingear makes a bunch of beads in Sterling)
In my opinion, beads are like jewelry for knives, and I see nothing wrong with using titanium, gold, or silver - heck, I’d even pony up the five hundred dollars, for a platinum bead!
But yeah, out of those two options, FRN all the way! I think FRN is way tougher than pewter anyway. (and lightweight!)
Hopefully the holes will be a large enough diameter to fit double paracord.
Maybe even a Sprint Run of a special knife that comes with a special bead! Just let me know where and when to order!

Thanks for the reply Sal! It looks like the interest is there for sure! Personally, I would probably like the pewter ones better, but I would buy FRN ones too. I kind of like the heft that pewter has since I would likely be using them as zipper pulls, keychain fobs. How about a Moonglow bead??sal wrote:Hi Mwalle6,

it also would be cool if they where attached to a spyderco lanyard with the red-black colors and the bead in gold :D
Id go with FRN that way you could use them as lightweight zipper pulls and really jazz up your winter jackets. And being allergic to nickel I am against most metals except Ti of course.

Delica and Endura are great knives! They're the low priced crack samples that'll get you hooked on spyderco! Feed the need!

I'd like FRN colored ones. FRN because of lower cost and color choices. I had a FOB on my Delica and the loop got loose enough for it to swing around so when I closed the knife it cut the para-cord. So I don't know what you may be planning but I'd like some to fit tight enough to make it hard to slide so it can slide up the paracord or leather or whatever toward the handle so the loop stays small enough to keep it from swinging into the blade slot in the handle. Just a thought.sal wrote:Hi Mwalle6,
