Talonite S.P.O.T. Please!!!

#1

Post by bquinlan »

Okay, I know this isn't likely to happen, but...



I really love my Micarta S.P.O.T. The only thing I can think of that would improve it is to make it from Talonite or Stellite. VG-10 is great stuff, and it does not rust easily, but a neck knife is subjected to some of the worst possible conditions for steel and Talonite is impervious to them.



What would it take for Spyderco to do a limited run for those of who are sufficiently crazy to want this? How many others would be interested?

Hi Bob. Let's get the bugs worked and out see overall reaction to the SPOT model. Then ask again.
At this time, we don't have enough feedback to make that decision.

I've been wondering if we'll ever see a Stellite bladed spydie. And titanium dual liners with G10 (or even CF) scales <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

ken: Thank you! My collection is rather small by knifenut standards, but I try to keep it trimmed back to blades I might actually use someday. <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> (The only exceptions are a few that were gifts.)

Sal: You give me hope! I will keep my fingers crossed that the S.P.O.T. sells like crazy and makes a Talonite version seem obvious. <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

Thanks!

And I agree with dialex that it would be great to see a Spyderco in Talonite eventually. The S.P.O.T. just seems like the one that should lead the way.
