Would be 204P but that would be cool. I want to like the back lock and I like that it is linerless and has no jimping but I really feel like it needs to be contoured on the scales to be functional.anycal wrote:Manix 2 Backlock, KW exclusive, with DLC coated M390, green scales.

Yes, it would be 204P. Got it mixed up with BBS exclusive. That one would work too :) .thewoodpecker wrote:Would be 204P but that would be cool.

Re: 2017 Forum Knife poll
I would be in for one of those. But my first thought would be Millie in Maxamet with grey scales, second thought would be an Endura with combo blade in Elmax and orange handles in G10Evil D wrote:K390 Military

HAP40 Delica Wharnie, that's the one for me. Would be a true upgrade to the VG-10 only Wharnie available now.

Or that...haha. Really any steel that is "better" than VG-10 would be cool.daknight wrote:I like the idea of the Delica 4 Wharncliffe but in ZDP.

Re: 2017 Forum Knife poll
How about a PM2 with K390? I'd vote for the Manix-2 with 204P, but I am piling up too many Manix 2 knives.
Heck, I'd even settle for a Manix-2 with K390 in spite of what I just said.
But the real question. How does this Forum knife thing work? This is all new to me.

Re: 2017 Forum Knife poll
Have they ever resurrected an old model for something like this. That would be kind of cool. Like a Tuff in some interesting steel like cruwear or 4v. Just throwing my fantasies in with the rest of them. :p
Re: 2017 Forum Knife poll
Seems like it has been done before, but I believe it depends on whether the tooling for a given model still exists / is in good shape / etc, and whether the maker is also still active / available.Surfingringo wrote:Have they ever resurrected an old model for something like this.

Dragonfly would be best but voted D4 Wharn HAP 40
Re: 2017 Forum Knife poll
I voted 'Other': Native 5 LW in translucent orange FRCP with DLC S110V blade and deep-carry wire clip.

Re: 2017 Forum Knife poll
OK, now that I have done my homework, I am quite warmed up to the Delica Wharncliffe in HAP40, this actually sounds quite cool on several counts:
1 - I am recently enthused about tool steels and HAP40 looks really interesting now that I am reading about it!
2 - I realize that a couple of my favorite knive blades are "nearly" Wharncliffe, and if would be great to try out a full pedigree Wharncliffe blade, it might actually turn out to be really a useful thing. And I don't have any knives I don't use and carry.
3 - I don't have any back-lock knives, and I owe it to myself to own one of the classic "old school" Spyderco's. It might cure this "bad attitude" I have towards back lock knives.
So ... bring it on !!

Re: 2017 Forum Knife poll
I voted for other because all I really want is something that is not another Native and something that is not outrageously expensive.
Re: 2017 Forum Knife poll
I voted Manix 204P but have now waffled to wharnie Delica. Goldenrod HAP40 would be great, and I think there should also be a Wharncliffe in the burnt orange series. Super blue would also be really, really cool if available, but any other super steel would do.
For the record, I've never used my G-10 2013 forum Native -- I planned to, but it was among the first few knives I bought right after becoming a spydophile and was too perfect and special. I kept my 2015 FRN forum Native for about a year before using it, but finally did because I like S90V, and it's a great little user :p

K-390 on hand: Mule Team 17, Police 4 G-10, Endela (burlap micarta), Endela backup, Endura (canvas micarta), Straight Stretch (now blade-swapped with G-10 Stretch), Delica Wharncliffe, Dragonfly Wharncliffe, & Dragonfly Wharncliffe shorty mod
Note to self: Less is more.

Re: 2017 Forum Knife poll
I'd love the Jazz delica in HAP40 for sure.
But even more exciting to me would be a Yojimbo2 with either HAP 40 or M4, with canvas micarta scales (pref. OD green). Just my 2cents...

Re: 2017 Forum Knife poll
If I had my druthers, I would rather have a Golden model that was unusual. For example, a Manix 2 LW with a special color, or no color, of translucent FRCP and a unique steel.
Not having that, then I would want a Delica of some sort, but I am not a big fan of the hump backed wharncliffe blade. If the blade were more like the Kiwi 4, then that is a different story. I still like the Delica clip blade design better, though.
