Name your own Sprint Run!

[EmperorMA]

A little free association to see what people are wanting.

You get to name your own sprint run, and Spyderco will make it happen. What do you choose?

Rules:

1. Must be a production folder Spyderco has already brought to market. No new designs or tweaks.

2. You get to pick the model, the steel, the clip and the handle material/color. Again, nothing here that Spyderco hasn't already used. But you may choose something they've never used on your particular model.

3. Make your answer as short or long as you like.

Example: Delica 4 in forest green G10 with black deep carry wire clip and CTS-204P

Have fun!

Paramilitary 2 with CPM 20CV. Dark red G10.

I'm down with this and then some! :)

[Afterman]

Resilience with CTS-XHP steel, blacked out hardware, midnight blue checkered G10 handles.

[Donut]

Is "Bob" already taken? :p

[twinboysdad]

1. Superleaf, 3V and Carbon Fiber. I begrudgingly will let the wire clip go as it never suited the model.

2. Ayoob, LC200 serrated and FRN scales with the Salt hardware

[Evil D]

FFG Yojimbo 2, M4 and CF scales

Nilakka, 52100, bamboo scales (not even sure if that's doable but I want it)

Ulize, H1, SE blade, any scales

Centofante 4, Super Blue, same gray G10 scales as other SB sprints but contoured and polished and with the bug inlay (I'd probably be in for a Centofante 3 in this combo too but if I could only have one it would be the 4)

I could go on but those are the main ones.

[MacLaren]

Nilakka, with 204p. Blue G10 handles and a flipper, with a 4" blade. And the original Zero grind.
Manix 2 XL 10v Orange G10 and a RIL

[SC_PATRIOT]

Oh yeah here we go:

Manix XL in either S110v or Cruwesr, CF or Dark grey G10.

Serrata in CTS-XHP same handle or G10 orange

[SC_PATRIOT]

Super seconds and thirds on a Manix CL in 10V. That would replace the K2s I sent back with lock stick!

[Spydersense]

Maxamet PM2 with peel ply CF scales

[spyderg]

Cruwear Tuff, micarta.

[abbazaba]

Manix 2 LW M4 CF

[levs18]

Cruwear Tuff, micarta.

Yes! I'd be ok with G-10 even. Just really want a tuff.

[SG89]

Delica 4 S110V with blue g10 and deep carry wire clip
Manbug 52100 with carbon fiber scales
PM3 any steel any scale but no lanyard hole and deep carry clip (can tie lanyard on the standoff)

[Bloke]

Maxamet Military, burgundy G10 scale, untreated stainless clip! :)

[Halfneck]

Model: Lil'Temp 3
Steel: VG10
Clip: Stays the same
Handle Material & Color: FRN in a Green color similar to the original Lil"Temp

[bearfacedkiller]

Maxamet Military with g10, not too picky about color. Green is my favorite.

Dark Green G10 ZDP Delica.

Cruwear ManixXL with the checkered grey G10.

[TomAiello]

Chaparral, s110v, CF or RN handle.

[EmperorMA]

PM3 any steel any scale but no lanyard hole and deep carry clip (can tie lanyard on the standoff)

Technically, this is a rules violation. Removing the lanyard hole and repositioning the clip are both "tweaks." Shame on you.

That being said, I can't think of anything Spyderco could do that I'd be more happy about than what you suggest. The Para 3 could be the ultimate Spyderco knife of all time if they moved the clip up and made it deep carry.

The whole philosophy of the design was to make the PM2 more compact and easier to carry. The way the clip and lanyard hole on the Para 3 is, it actually sticks out of the pocket much more noticeably than the PM2. I'm not sure how this happened with the overarching design goal of this knife.

IMHO, everything else with the Para 3 is perfect.
