Yeah a Sprint of the C-111 Captain has just got to come to fruition but I want the Sprint to be available in Spyderedge this go-around.

No BRAINER>> G-10 Harpy

Dark Horse >>> I'll agree with Brother Dialex's design being one of them but I would go with the ADVENTURA instead.

Long Shot>> KRIS

I'm still on board with those models you mentioned. But I've been wanting a G-10 Harpy for such a long time that it's highly overdue. And you just don't hear a lot about the ADVENTURA or the KRIS either for that matter. Everything both of us mentioned is high on my list. But I've wanted a newer G-10 Harpy model for eons now. Also speaking of the Adventura there is another recurve you don't hear much about and that is the SPYKER model. It was a collaboration between Spyderco & Kershaw but it was one beautiful folder and it was one recurve blade I loved to play with.

Oh, well I agreed in my head with several already listed, but wasn't going to rehash... or were we keeping count???

Definitely Caly 3 & 3.5, AND Caly Jr. in burgundy.
And I'd agree with Dialex Junior. I've posted mine up a few times recently and rarely got much love or comment on it....

Meh. The models I don't care for get sprinted to death. My favorites--never, or hardly at all.
