Pendant knife
Re: Pendant knife
I was thinking $150-200, so not too far off.
I really like the Idea of that combo on a Spyderkey. I'd buy atleast one.
I understand that it might not be a feasible production item, but it would make for an awesome Sprint run. Perhaps an open order for "X" amount of days? If the minimum order requirements are met, it will get made. I guess it'd be similar to massdrop.
The knife wouldn't get made if the demand wasn't there, they'd be presold before production was even started and no one would have a reason to complain about missing out.
(some will probably still complain)
Just a thought.

Re: Pendant knife
I was thinking: China made Bug, but with Ti slabs & S30V.
Would that still be that costly?

Re: Pendant knife
My only catch with this is it needs to remain fully usable. Some of those really tiny ones may have an edge but won't really cut worth a crap. The Bug is reasonably usable for it's size so I'd like to keep it in that size range, even a teeny bit bigger would be ok with me. Weight starts to become an issue though.

Re: Pendant knife
If its only Titanium and LC200N, $200+ for a knife the size of the Bug is a very hard sell for me. For something that is primarily jewelry, I also wouldn't buy it if it was made in China.
It would need to be the most premium of premium materials for me to get behind it.
Bug and Honeybee with Apple Coral Scales
I really like the way the Santa Fe Stoneworks Bugs were done. If they kept lanyard holes, it would be a perfect little pendant knife as jewelry in my opinion.
I could probably talk myself into a $200+ Bug in LC200N/Titanium if it also included a premium overlay scale like the Sante Fe Stoneworks knives. :)

The bug is about $10, so grade 2 Ti slabs (easier to machine) with an S30V blade & spring for about $60 to $80? No?
I can see an LC200N *locking* blade with grade 5 slabs costing more, but I never imagined $200.

I agree, these are really well done. They were done by Santa Fe Stone Works.

Well, based on what Sal said, I was just estimating $200+ because of the price of the Spydiechef and the Tusk.013 wrote: I only said China made to (hopefully) significantly lower the price.

Re: Pendant knife
I think it's because "regular" customers won't purchase the pendant due to the size/price ratio, so it will collect dust on the shelves & be immediately disco'd.Mushroom wrote: ↑Mon Jan 27, 2020 4:07 pmMini2white wrote: ↑Mon Jan 27, 2020 2:22 pmThey are really nice, did you do those?Mushroom wrote: ↑Mon Jan 27, 2020 8:54 amIf its only Titanium and LC200N, $200+ for a knife the size of the Bug is a very hard sell for me.

Although I still can't wrap my head around how we can get a Taiwan McBee (6al4v & CTS-XHP) for $130, but a smaller model would be $70 more...

Re: Pendant knife
I would imagine that it's because it is much more difficult to produce a knife that small, while retaining the quality and function of the larger one.013 wrote: ↑Tue Jan 28, 2020 3:57 amI think it's because "regular" customers won't purchase the pendant due to the size/price ratio, so it will collect dust on the shelves & be immediately disco'd.Mushroom wrote: ↑Mon Jan 27, 2020 4:07 pmMini2white wrote: ↑Mon Jan 27, 2020 2:22 pmThey are really nice, did you do those?Mushroom wrote: ↑Mon Jan 27, 2020 8:54 amIf its only Titanium and LC200N, $200+ for a knife the size of the Bug is a very hard sell for me.

Re: Pendant knife
Maserin miniatures are $18 to $70 and have single or multiple blades and inserts in the handles. How they do it for those prices I don't know but obviously there are ways to manufacture with CNC machines now. I'm sure a little hand fit and finish would be required. I think the Police necklace originally was about $120.
Re: Pendant knife
Spyderco might be able to work something out for all of us. They've made pendants in the past when CNC tech was more primitive. All we're really asking for is an upgraded Bug.Mini2white wrote: ↑Tue Jan 28, 2020 12:53 pmMaserin miniatures are $18 to $70 and have single or multiple blades and inserts in the handles.

Although I'm guessing by what Sal said & the lack of interest in this thread, it's most likely never going to happen.
I guess we'll just have to keep our fingers crossed.

Re: Pendant knife
If it was really nice to look at, and so to wear as jewelry, I think it would have a market large enough to sell a Sprint or limited run.

If they keep the price reasonable, there should be no problem.
