Forum sprint run?

[Danke]

Previous editions have been Natives and PM2s?

So it seems likely that the first requirement is that it's a made in Golden CO model. Then second one of the more signature models so nothing too out on the fringe.

[Fireman]

Golden? Sooooooo… Shaman? Millie? Titanium? Magma Cut?

[Matus]

Seriously, a knife like Sage LW in some nice color and some cool steel would be pretty sweet without breaking the bank and thus allowing more members to get one.

Right? Seems like a lot of folks want a $400 forum knife, but I think it really needs to be under $200 for reasonably wide appeal.

[Fireman]

Hmmmm… you are right. maybe we need two sprint runs. :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

I’d say a Military 2 with a Magnacut/micarta combo would tick a lot of boxes.

[aicolainen]

If it has to be Golden made, I couldn’t think of anything harder to resist than a magnacut Millie. Micarta would be nice, if they can have countersunk liners. If it can’t, I think I’ll rather have G10.

A Magna Mi-Ti? Millie?
(Micarta Titanium)
Micarta presentation side and Titanium frame lock with Magna Cut would be special. Magna Carta!

I think it is best to let Spyderco make the selection. In the past when we have had threads with people making suggestions- it seems that 50 people would make 50 different suggestions. We could never agree on one knife.

Shaman, black micarta, MagnaCut. Terminator in a tuxedo.

I thought we settled on a Sage 5 LW in OD green or FDE with a Vanax SC pointy end?

I think a Terminator Shaman NEEDS titanium scales.
Magna-Ti Shaman would suit me fine.

Military with Micarta show side, Titanium RIL, Maxamet...expensive but AWESOME!

I still don't get why anyone would want a large, hard use knife in Maxamet... YES, Maxamet is awesome as far as edge taking and holding, but it's got close to last place toughness. Give me 3V, heck even 5160 over Maxamet in a Millie!

The TiCarta option sounds pretty sweet though :D

(YMMV)

[Fireman]

I think Mi-Ti sounds better
Like the drink :D

[Paraguy]

That would be so heavy in the pocket (figuratively and literally) indeed!

HAHAHA

[Paraguy]

I think a native would be more appealing and accessible to many people, although a Shaman would be very popular.

I chose Maxamet because I see a lot of people hoping for a Maxamet Millie...then again, I see hopes for everything around here haha! I definitely appreciate the edge retention though, as well as that beautiful finish on the blade.

I wouldn't be opposed to pretty much any steel though if it were thrown into this configuration :cool:

All for a Micarta Millie but Maxamet does poorly where I live so maybe a more corrosion resistant steel would be more inclusive. SPY 27?

Check out the videos deadboxhero made about maxamet. It is tough enough, also in my experience

I remember something about micarta not being strong enough handle material to be used in a linerless design. That would complicate things with a Millie.
