I would love to see an M4/CF Chokwe sprint.
Anyone else down?

Re: Chokwe Dreams
I loved the design, but mine had really bad lock stick. If they put a steel lockbar insert in there, then it'd be great. That blade shape was really something.
Re: Chokwe Dreams
Yes, a new Choke would be great!

Re: Chokwe Dreams
The Chokwe is still the best Ethnic series knife Spyderco ever made, and probably my favorite pocket knife of all time if I had to choose just one. I'd buy a sprint without hesitation.

Re: Chokwe Dreams
The Chokwe is one of my favorite Spyderco designs. Great knife, I love the blade shape with a thin tip for slicing!
I would totally go for a sprint, but would also really like a mini-Chokwe as I've suggested in a couple of other threads. A 3-3.5 inch blade would be perfect. I would also suggest making the detent a bit stronger as I've had several instances of the blade opening while in pocket.

Re: Chokwe Dreams
It would have to be a Japanese steel.

Re: Chokwe Dreams
Hap40, with a stonewased blade since the sandwiched Hap40 always scratches easily.
Steel lockbar insert with built-in overtravel stop.
Chokwe and Lil Chokwe.

The original Chokwe was made in Taiwan. Why the need for a Japanese steel?
Re: Chokwe Dreams
Hap 40 then?

Re: Chokwe Dreams
In that case I would love to see some uncladded Super Blue, it is after all my favorite steel and the Chokwe would look amazing with a beautifully patina'ed blade.sal wrote:Hi Dan,farnorthdan wrote:How about some VTOKU since its in the oven anyways,sal wrote:It would have to be a Japanese steel.
