I wish Spyderco would make...
Re: I wish Spyderco would make...
A no-BS dedicated 8" cook's knife. Not a Santoku, no serrations, just a true purpose-built cook's knife. I'm thinking something along the lines of the older French knives that today would be considered a hybrid of a Gyuto and western chef's knife. A flatter knife but with enough belly to still allow rocking. Thinly spinned, ~2.5mm, and 15dps max. I'm thinking BD1N.
I'd be open to a FRN handle even. Not sure how it does when molded into thicker (sculpted) shapes but if it would work then cool.
A nimble, task-oriented, second-to-none Spyderco offering.

A Bob Lum saber tip folder. Google it. It's gorgeous.
Also a loveless style chute knife. Really have a thing for those right now.

In G10 and VG10 to be exact. For a time I was a bore on the subject and then just gave up hoping. Doesn’t fit the general scope of the company I think
Anyway
Boker just made it ... The Slack. So I don’t have to hope no more :)
YES! Same here! A Spyderco Sodbuster exactly as you describe it. 100 percent YES!
Re: I wish Spyderco would make...
Do you think that 2 mm would be too thin? I have 2 mm thick Gyuto. It is not flexing. 8-9" BD1N can be interesting. FRN can be too expensive in the sense of making mold, unless Spyderco already has something suitable.Eli Chaps wrote: ↑Sat Apr 21, 2018 9:14 pmA no-BS dedicated 8" cook's knife.

Sprint Runs of the golden-made folding knives in 3V and 4V with new G10 colors. maybe semi-translucent (like the Blurple or DLT Red) dark green or charcoal smoke? Guarantee these would all be HUGE sellers and instant sell outs!

Re: I wish Spyderco would make...
I suppose it would be steel dictated but 2mm might work. Good point about the FRN molds.bh49 wrote: ↑Mon Apr 23, 2018 10:53 amDo you think that 2 mm would be too thin? I have 2 mm thick Gyuto.

I don't know a ton about BD1N but I know it is being used in some kitchen cutlery now and at some pretty impressive hardness levels. I'm not sure what the chippiness level is though...
Re: I wish Spyderco would make...
Possibly we read the same info about this steel. But I am not familiar with makers, who used this steel, so it will be very interesting to try backed-up by Spyderco knowledge and experience.Eli Chaps wrote: ↑Mon Apr 23, 2018 3:49 pmI suppose it would be steel dictated but 2mm might work.

Re: I wish Spyderco would make...
I've seen a couple knives out there with the BD1N steel but mostly Japanese style. i read some here about the steel and what bits I could find on the web but don't know too much about it other than it very much piques my curiosity!
I agree 100% about a product coming from Spyderco and that's why I'd want something like so bad. With their understanding and focus on the ELU I have no doubt they could turn out an outstanding knife!
I did some handling of my existing kitchen knives and 2mm might be too thin. I don't know the exact widths of what I have in there but pretty close. I think 2mm would make for a great, light, nimble knife but I wonder if it would be so thin that the spine would dig into the offhand when using it in such a manner? Maybe not and sure like to see. :)

Re: I wish Spyderco would make...
I'd like to see a Spyderco Modern Traditional Family. I know theyre planning the Slysz Swayback but I'd like to see a Spydie Sodbuster, a Spydie Barlow, and anything else they want to make along those lines.

Re: I wish Spyderco would make...
More super steels! I know they're hard to work with, but they sell out don't they? :D
HAP72, s125v, REX 121, 15V, more Maxamet? S390?
A guy can dream can't he? :D
