"I would buy a new Yojimbo 2 Sprint with....???"

#1

Post by ZrowsN1s »

I've been watching Michael Janich's video's on youtube. Man, that guy really knows his way around a blade, if you're at all interested in knives for self defense check him out. In one video in particular he talked about the evolution of the yojimbo 2. He talked about how the original came in two colors; black and blue. He said he hoped the blue would be a Denim color that would serve as an Urban Camouflage but that the G10 colors that were available at the time didn't quite live up to his vision....

....So 2 things occurred to me.
1.) I desperately need a Yojimbo 2. (even though i own like 30 knives)
2.) I got a taste for the fancy, it's not that s30v is a bad steel, I just happen to like an 'ever so slightly' higher end than that.
i want a Yojimbo 2 Sprint Run with a steel like say 52100 with a blue camo pattern or denim color like Michael Janich had originally intended.

That's my dream, my question to you is:
What kind of Yojimbo 2 Sprint would you like to see Spyderco make?
(That you would actually purchace if they made it.)

I think something tough like 3V, Cruwear, or M4 would be a good choice to help reinforce the pointy tip and hollow grind

I cant understand why people like that blurple color so much. But Cruwear/Gray would look amazing on the Yo2.

Sal: I would buy two of these!!!

First Yojimbo arrived today, don't know why I waited sooo long, really like it, shown it off to a couple friends....both said, wicked sick, intimidating...anyway..I was thinking Blurple s110v also, but as a standard production model.....Cruwear in the Gray G10 would work nicely as a sprint.

Like seemingly everybody else, I would be more than happy with a regular production Blurple/110v Yo2.... :D

That said, how about RWL34 or 204P and Olive Drab or Foliage Green G10 for a sprint?

S90v, S110V, 204P, 10V, ... I don't care really. I just want a sprint run of this knife.... :(

Where were all of you when the S90V/CF exclusive sat on shelves for 6 months not selling? That's why we don't see more sprints in knives like this. When they risk not selling them, it doesn't make them too keen on doing another run.

I love 52100 but not on this sort of knife (sort of a specialty knife that CAN be EDC but often times will sit in a collection). M4, 3V, Cruwear, AEB-L @ 62RC, or Nitrobe 77.

I don't have a yojimbo yet, but I will definitely buy an M4 sprint. But at the same time, I'll probably buy any sprint in M4 :D

I know i kick myself for missing it. Although now there are none to be found so, in the end they sell. I'd be down for blurple s110v (i like my pm2 in the same). But Any sprint run of the Yojimbo would be cool. surprised no one else liked my 52100 suggestion.

i love the way my cpm m4 PM2 with the jade/natural handles looks. It's an impressive looking knife.
I would really like to see the demin camo though.

+1 very good point David, it was remarkable how long these sat around, I was even tempted to buy a 3rd. Seemed like the longest time you couldn't even find a G10 production model.

I do think the S110V's will sell well though, but doubt we'll see a sprint any time soon.

With the hollow grind on the Yo2, AEB-L sound like it could be interesting. But I don't know enough about steel properties to know if it would fit the rest of the blade shape

I would love a Yo2 in jade g10. Any steel really.. Maybe RWL34 or CPM 154?

I seem to remember Janich saying they halted production while he was working for BlackHawk. Now that he is back with the Spyderco Team Yojimbo's are easier to come by.

*edit* the above info is incorrect, Mr. Janich was kind enough to correct me in his post on the next page *edit*
