Idea: Sprint Run Centofante 3
Idea: Sprint Run Centofante 3
The Centofante 3 is a sleeper. It's a good alternative to the Delica or Stretch. You get a hollow grind and thin 2mm blade stock that makes for a very good cutter.
What if Spyderco were to make a sprint run with a screwed pivot, colored FRN and an upgraded steel like Super Blue or ZDP-189?
I also think this would be a good idea for a forum knife.
Thoughts?

You're right, it was talked about recently. I guess I missed that discussion.

Sal said it couldn't be changed to screw construction because that would require new tooling. He didn't say if that included the pivot...

I have been unable to buy one because of the pinned pivot. I love super blue so that may persuade me.

Honestly I would even be content with a standard run of Centofante 4s with the same old black and VG10 just so I can buy a new backup for mine. I don't use it much because they're discontinued, so any version of a Centofante 4 with just about any steel VG10 or better will be a purchase from me so long as it stays Seki and keeps at least VG10.

Ouch. I'd get nervous, too, if I was down to only one C4. Maybe the Kiwi 4 will fill the hole in the lineup for a slim, classy EDC Wharnecliff that performs. Yes, I remember the Air, but it's just a touch too small for me with my wide hands and fat fingers. Right now, if I was C4-less, I'd probably go with the Yo2. Thicker than I like, but still compelling ...Evil D wrote:... so I can buy a new backup for mine...

IMHO cento3 is one of unappreciated Spydercos. I would take cento3 over Delica, Endura or even Stretch any time. I will be interesting in sprint of Cento3 with ZDP blade. I will appreciate dark green or BRG. Even if handle will stay black as is, will be fine for me. Please, no "Meerkat burgundy".

That is exactly what I'm hoping for too. I do have a thing for palladium bugs though. Did you guys know palladium is the same metal Tony Stark used to build the arc reactor in his chest? That's right Iron Man is powered by the same stuff that bug in the handle is made of. That's so cool lol.gaj999 wrote:Ouch. I'd get nervous, too, if I was down to only one C4.
