Great to hear! Thanks, Sal...and Tom! Specific model being discussed or too early to say? So appreciated, regardless.sal wrote:I spoke with Tom today and we were going over what changes would have to be made to the tooling since the last run (CQI).

I would prefer a steel with some corrosion resistance like S35VN.NiallRiv wrote:As a lefty, I am loving this discussion and news from Sal. If this comes to fruition, which it sounds like it will, I believe it will be a lifetime knife for many Lefties. That being said, why don't we go all in and do an awesome steel? LH Para in K390?
Since this is a one-time knife that would have to appeal to many people, I would like to see scales that are not gimmicky. A nice popular colour scale and an upgraded steel: a classic design that will endure through time.Mikael Andersson wrote: how about putting moon glow side scales on it?
I think that it looks cool and it's a nice color even when it's not glowing.PM1 wrote:Since this is a one-time knife that would have to appeal to many people, I would like to see scales that are not gimmicky.

Why not S35VN?Clip wrote:I think CTS-XHP in a black canvas or linen Micarta would be a tasteful combination.
Edit:
To be honest, I'd buy any mix of steel and handle. Even if it were the tried and true black G10/S30V combo again.
Personal preference. Any number of steels in this category would be suitable. S30V, S35VN, BD30, Elmax, etc. I simply picked Carpenter's XHP as it performs like a more corrosion-resistant D2 and meets the requirements of a decent knife steel without breaking the bank or demanding special care. Just like S35VN, etc, etc.Mikael Andersson wrote:Why not S35VN?Clip wrote:I think CTS-XHP in a black canvas or linen Micarta would be a tasteful combination.

I would like to mention, however, that since I may never have the opportunity again to get a true lefty model, I do hope that Spyderco would pair the knife with a special/memorable steel. If they are going to make lefties feel appreciated, why not go all the way and make a truly drool-worthy knife?
My vote on color is orange or green.

I definitely support another LH-specific model, whatever that may be. Thanks for considering it!
