OK, it's time to get serious

Hi jazz,

Thanx. Is that a 3" blade?

sal

Would also like to know this.

If it's 3 inch and ffg I would buy one

Agreed, FFG would be my preference as well.

[Jazz]

I can't wait to see what it looks like.

[araneae]

This is very cool.

[bearfacedkiller]

I have been mostly sitting back and just watching this thread and seeing what Jazz had in mind.

Now I see that we have essentially come up with a Delica4 with a wharncliffe blade. Whoa!!! As a Delica lover I will say that I will without a doubt buy one of these knives. My Centofante4 is a great knife and this would be the same but maybe just a tiny bit smaller. Woot woot!

[SG89]

This thread is so awesome

[akaAK]

watching this one with interest. A wharnie Delica 4 is very interesting.

[Evil D]

If this comes out in FFG and a decent steel I'll be very interested. I don't use my Centofante 4 as much as I would like to because I can't easily replace it. As much as I like fancy sprint steels I'd also rather this come out in a common steel like VG10 and be standard production.

Agreed. I'd also prefer a screw-together construction and thicker blade stock as found on the Delica vs. the pinned construction and thinner blade stock as found on the Centofante 4.

It'd be awesome to see this new knife offered in the same color khaki as on the Kahr Delica. :D

Love this suggestion .

We can discuss color, but making it the same as the Kahr Delica would create co fusion.

How about burnt watermelon green? :)
Just kidding, but on the other hand it could come out really nice..

[Thorien]

Interesting thread. Looking forward to seeing the cad drawings and how great is it that Sal is open to suggestions. I love spyderco. What a great ethos.

[captnvegtble]

I like it... how about taking a little curve off the spine of the blade?

[camporama]

I also like it. How about having a straight spine, like a leek? Or would that give it too much of a needlepoint? Perhaps a reverse tanto-like end

[harronek]

Why not just take the standard Delica blade and remove the belly curve , just a straight edge ?


Ken

[camporama]

That might mess up the edge geometry (thicker at some parts).

That's not a bad idea... I like a more pointy tip.

[SpeedHoles]

I liked Jazz's sketch with the arcing spine similar to the Urban Wharncliffe blade.

[camporama]

I'd keep it rounded so that you could possibly grind it to straight.

[Jazz]

The whole idea is stronger for working. If you wanted, you could easily grind some off. You can't add any.
