45th Anniversary Knife?
45th Anniversary Knife?
Do you think Spyderco will do a special knife to commemorate their 45th anniversary?
If so, should we start another poll to vote on what it should be or should we just carry over from the forum knife poll?
Ok I'm joking about the poll but I am wondering about the anniversary knife

I want a production version of the original Spyderco. It should be made in Golden, if possible.

Re: 45th Anniversary Knife?
Well, that was a handmade prototype. I'm fairly confident Sal would clean it up some. However, a true replica would be a hoot!

Re: 45th Anniversary Knife?
Another worker sprint could be pretty cool. K390 or something for the steel.

A Worker in CPM S45VN whith Scales from american walnut Made in Golden.
Re: 45th Anniversary Knife?
I would bet the decision to make one and what model was decided some time ago. Perhaps even a year or more. Sal is always mentioning the long queues and lead times.
But I’ll add my wish of a Damasteel Military with the 45th on the blade like the Anniversary Native. And CF too of course. :spyder:

Agreed.Larry_Mott wrote: ↑Tue Jan 12, 2021 3:43 pmHopefully with the font size smaller than billboard size this time.. :)
I think they really did a good job on the Bombshell's numbering being discreet.
As for a model, I want a modern SE Worker.

Yea, this sounds about right. The original might be a bit too much.austrian_spyder_fan wrote: ↑Tue Jan 12, 2021 1:52 pmA Worker in CPM S45VN whith Scales from american walnut Made in Golden.
I'm happiest with Micarta and Tool Steel.
Top four in rotation: K390 + GCM PM2, ZCarta Shaman, Crucarta PM2, K390 + GCM Straight Spine Stretch.

Re: 45th Anniversary Knife?
A modern worker would be awesome!
My wish would be Damasteel, Burgundy Micarta and blacked out hardware.

Not to kill the mood, but unless they already planned something last year, anything started this year wouldn't be in production until next year or the year after, if not later.
Re: 45th Anniversary Knife?
Agreed. I wouldn’t be surprised if they are planning their 50th already :spyder:TenGrainBread wrote: ↑Tue Jan 12, 2021 4:36 pmNot to kill the mood, but unless they already planned something last year, anything started this year wouldn't be in production until next year or the year after, if not later.

Re: 45th Anniversary Knife?
If it is 45th Anniversary, then why not use Spyderco's own steel? I would suggest the Delica, a classic Spyderco and Spyderco made its early knives in Japan, didn't it?

I don't think Spyderco is in a position to make any 45 Anniversary or Forum knives right now. Sal said in another thread the following:
