Spyderco/Farid K2

Sword of Morning · #21

This K2 design is at the top of my list for upcoming knives. This is a phenomenal design, with aesthetics that reach right out to me. Hopefully the wait won't be too long. The 10v steel and the dimensions are aspects I truly hope to see in the production version.

Also hope to one day see a Military in one or all of these, 10V(K294), S110V, K390. :)

I wouldn't bet against a 3.5-4 inch version in the future if these sell well and especially judging by how it is being received so far.

I'm with you on the Millies and those steels also.

If we keep giving feedback like this, for sure it'll see production!

I believe it will do well. :)

Performance should be excellent too. :D

The K2 is in the top5 of my "wish" list despite the handle à la millie and a blade shape with too much belly for my use.
It seems that there is no insert between the lock and the tang, and on one of the picture a mark could be seen on the lock. Maybe dirt(y oil).

Many of the Taiwan made framelocks have no steel insert and I haven't really heard mention of a lockup issue on the several forums come to think of it. I believe they harden the lockface so it's not bare Ti.

sorry no website for now.
I am pleased to see the interest in my K2, thank you all for your support.

Half the appeal for me is that it is over 4".
I've been asking for an XL Military for years, this seems to be just as good, if not better than fulfilling that dream (I like the flatter spine).

The only thing I would change is producing the non-locking side scale out of G-10 (for both grip and weight), and maybe putting a small scale on the lock side (just a bit of a grip patch, and it would protect from lock over travel), but I love it as-is.
As is I can always drill it and make my own scales too, so having both sides of Ti does have advantages.

Looking forward to this knife, hopefully we see it sooner than later. Also very happy to see its a Taiwan knife, love their F&F.

I go for smaller knives usually but I'll be all over this one. Great looking knife.

The blade length is definitely a big draw for me on this one. I wish that it had a little more tip to it ( by that I just mean a little less upsweep). But the overall design is very nice and the materials are great....I'll be getting one of these for sure!
