Re: Looks like the Chinook 4 bouta drop
Definitely getting 2 of those. I love my chinook 2 just wish it had a longer blade. This looks about military sized so i can't pass it up

Exciting, Chinook with a powerlock!
Not exactly about to drop, still 6 months out according to the video.

Tip up only? Meh... I'm getting old. At least it's not a flipper. I do want it but I have a feeling price is gonna be the deciding factor on this one for me. Time will tell. :)

Re: Looks like the Chinook 4 bouta drop
Not crazy at all. I wish all they did was take a 2 and make it longer. Ffg is nice and all but i prefer the hollow grind on the 2 more.Evil D wrote:I dunno am I crazy that I wish the Chinook had stayed a big thick beefy knife?

Any of you guys who have met Eric, how big are his hands?

Call me crazy but since this is a Nippon model I would have preferred VG10VashHash wrote:Pretty sure he said S30V in the video. I'm still in for 2twinboysdad wrote:Please, please do NOT be S30V...

Re: Looks like the Chinook 4 bouta drop
Very interested in this one, although it appears to lack jimping? Hopefully that's due to its prototype nature. Always down for another interesting back lock, but I'm on the fence. Price will also be a decider, interesting that it's S30V from Japan, and worried that the MSRP will be commensurately higher like we've seen.

Re: Looks like the Chinook 4 bouta drop
The Chinook was before my time but folks around here seem to hold it in high regard so I'm excited to get my hands on one. The power lock looks interesting and seems effective. I really really like the look of the blade on that thing. I really hope it's not tip up only though. I guess it's a design choice due to its size?

Re: Looks like the Chinook 4 bouta drop
I've exchanged handshakes with Eric on a few occasions, but based on my own hand size, I'd say he probably wears a size "large" in men's gloves. I'm only estimating, of course.twinboysdad wrote:Any of you guys who have met Eric, how big are his hands?

Cool. I should have said "because his hands seem to fit well on the Chinook 4" instead of sounding a bit stalkery!!SpyderNut wrote:I've exchanged handshakes with Eric on a few occasions, but based on my own hand size, I'd say he probably wears a size "large" in men's gloves.

Re: Looks like the Chinook 4 bouta drop
I'm looking forward to adding this one to my collection, never held one before but it looks like my kinda knife, I like larger blades and am excited to try out a new lock.
Happy to be part of this great forum and group of down to earth spyderco addicts, Thanks Sal and gang.
