Let’s see some blues
Re: Let’s see some blues
I understand WHY spyderco attaches a specific handle color to specialty steels - but I think it might detract from overall sales. Has any research been done on something like S110v and blurple?

No, but there is a fun poll between blurple and burnt orange, which is a tie at the moment... (45:45) :D (see link)

Are YOU the one that tilted it towards blurple now (46:45)?

Re: Let’s see some blues
Haha no. Equally hideous IMO. Only Black or other dark neutral colors for me (unless I have to buy a pink version of the DF2 to finally get a US steel in my favorite design... ugh).Wartstein wrote: ↑Wed Feb 03, 2021 1:10 pmBlnd wrote: ↑Wed Feb 03, 2021 12:58 pmHAH!

Spyderco has excellent blues! This pic is missing my "teal" dragonfly and my smurf blue BBS Domino.

Re: Let’s see some blues
Without a doubt, Spyderco has the best color palate on the market! It's one of the many things I love about them. :)

Re: Let’s see some blues
That dye job came out fantastic! That's a great shade of blue. I'd rock that Shaman no problem :cool:

Re: Let’s see some blues
Thanks. I can't take credit for it. I bought it that way, (new but for the dye job), from the original owner on the exchange at bladeforums, and at a bargain price to boot. Right place, right time, I guess.

Re: Let’s see some blues
It's actually very nice. I have has zero issues with lockup and it deploys with a nice authority. The tip is VERY delicate. Even moreso than a PM2. It's got a really nice steel for the price and it was shaving sharp, as all of my Kershaw/ZTs were. For the price, you won't find a better auto.BLUETYPEII wrote: ↑Wed Feb 03, 2021 11:03 amI’ve been looking at getting the Kershaw you show in your picture.
How do you like it?
Does this model suffer the same lock up issue some of the other Launch series do?
I had the Emerson Launch and it only locked up 50%-60% of the time. I immediately returned it. Too bad it was a good looking knife.
