Forum Knife D'fly
Forum Knife D'fly
Hey guys, this is a break off of the other forum knife thread. I'm just trying to get a feel for what the preferred color might be. This will be for the color of the g-10 on the forum knife. This is all hypothetical by the way.
Another option could be natural/clear g-10: 5

There is much to be learned from one who never speaks
Seems unlikely that a non-production item will be produced as a forum knife, cool as a forum sprint would be :) .
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.

Are the liners skeletonized? If so, I would like clear (natural) G10, or G11.
While we are at it, lets get ZDP-189 for the blade steel.
YEAH, I know it will make an already expensive knife even more pricy, but it is not very often that we get a forum knife, so lets make it truly exceptional?
I wish I could be optimistic that this idea will make it to production....

Who decided this is what we'd like? Not saying I'd be opposed to it (though the price may end up being a bit high), but reading through your other thread it hardly seems like there was any wide consensus on model or steel, which is how most other threads have gone. I prefer to let Sal and Co. pick what the forum knife will be and surprise me.Bradley wrote:Zdp was already decided as what we'd like...
I just finished reading the father thread to this. I voted for yellow, but if it was an option I would vote for non dragonfly, but that's just me.
I read and appreciated all the opinions on this topic from the previous thread but I think it's gotta be up to Sal and whoever helps him decide. If he can't do it, then we don't get one. If he can than we do...
That being said, if I had a vote for the knife, I think it should be a middle line, medium expensive, medium sized, fairly commonly produced model with whatever variations / special touches that Sal and co. choose.
That's me.

That's the thing, I'm not sure it matters that much to me because I like all the knives. I think handle material should be g-10 or FRN for cost purposes and blade steel should be whatever Sal wants that's mid-ranged. I honestly can't say what I'd want, but like others from the previous thread I don't own a dragonfly and the image of it is warming in my head. I feel like, if there weren't so many sprints, the manix 2 would be a great candidate. The new model isn't overly expensive and it's an awesome awesome knife...it's too hard for me to do haha.Bradley wrote:Thanks for the input Zach. What model did you have in mind?
I'll take anything really. It will be special and purchased by me no matter what model is used as the base. I see it as a privilege to me and anyone else who can get a limited Spyderco like that. To be fair, if you look at his track record, Sal should decide, look at all the marvelous creations he's given us. It's truly amazing.

I love the idea for a dragonfly sprint of any kind. Its too bad ZDP is our only option for high end steel, not my favorite, in fact I'd prefer Vg-10.
I voted for blue, but how about a neon green one? There was a cybermodded h1 D'fly with that catcherman type toxic green, looked NICE.
If its going to be a blue, Id vote for a light robins egg or baby blue.

+1 from me, for the Dragonfly sprint run as well as for the color. Since there's already been a ZDP Dragonfly in British Racing Green (not sure if that was the official color name) something different would be cool. A wild neon green or something blue.DCDesigns wrote:I love the idea for a dragonfly sprint of any kind.

I've currently got a Dragonfly Salt in yellow in my pocket and I checked. There are no liners. Personally I don't find the clear G-10 very attractive. Looks kinda icky, don't you think?! :ounit wrote:Are the liners skeletonized? If so, I would like clear (natural) G10, or G11.
