Sorry mate, I thought I answered your post before...yeah that almost powder-like effect just seems to be the matt finish on the scales, they feel completely smooth to the touch. I'm not sure about it on the Squeak or Pingo as their scales are completely flat whereas the smooth FRN scales of the roadie are rounded, reminding me much more of what I've seen of micarta, say on the Street Beat for example, rounded and smooth albeit much smaller!Donut wrote:...Your pictures make the flat FRN look semi-textured. What would you think about that type of scale material on a Squeak or Pingo?
I was just looking at the SHOT Show videos and the coloured Roadies are looking great. There was one that looked really interesting but I couldn't quite tell from the videos if it was Grey or a sort of midnight blue? Does anyone know?LC Kid wrote:...Looking forward the color Roadies: Orange & Green & Blue are must haves! :D
Ah thanks mate, looks like I'll be picking up a grey one then, it looks a nice shade in the videos :)quickster47 wrote:The five colors listed in the catalog are red, orange, gray, blue, and black.
The Spyderco gray has always had sort of a light blue tint to it according to my aging eyes.

Thanks Sal, it's a great little knife. I'd definitely queue up for a large version with the same blade shape and double dent :Dsal wrote:Very nice review and pics Uke. thanx much.

Ah I can't wait to see what you do with this. The G10 liner sounds interesting. I'll look forwards to some photos :)phillipsted wrote:...I've got the Roadie on my workbench to be outfitted with some nice wooden scales. I've been working on it for a couple of months, and I just thought I would post a short update...
Oh, wow. I hadn't even thought about a Ti liner. That would make it a little slippy brother to the Bradley Air... Hmmmm. Now you've got my creative juices flowing, Spydernut!SpyderNut wrote:I was wondering how long it would take before Ted would pimp out a Roadie. :D Glad to hear the project is in the works! I'm eager to hear how it turns out too. If the G-10 liner doesn't work for some reason, I wonder if you could try a thin Titanium liner instead? I have some .040 stock Ti that would probably work great on that. (Adding considerable strength without causing it go be too heavy/bulky).
