Manix 2 XL
CTS-204P
Polished G10 (Blue&Black)
Liner Lock
Flipper Tab
Stonewash Finish on blade.
- and if I really had my way, the blade would be extended by 1/2"

Re: What would YOU pick for the next sprint?
I'm not going to shut up until I get a newly updated C-60 Ayoob model :cool: I want a new C-60 Ayoob in one of the newer supersteel blades and would also like a new Spyderedged version as well. It's been almost 8 years since we had the G-10 version and it's one older Spyder that everyone seems to want to get.
Also in the fixed blade category I won't shut up till I see the resurrection of the original TEMPERANCE 1 model from the 2004 era. It was one of the few fixed blades that Spyderco made available in Spyderedge and plain edge both and in my opinion one of the most useful Spyderco models I've ever owned over the years. Those are the two I would like to see.

Re: What would YOU pick for the next sprint?
I’d be down for an Ayoob, esp if it were about 80% of its original size, just enough to get a full grip.


Re: What would YOU pick for the next sprint?
Coming down the pike? The SB Calypso Jr. and the Rex45 Millie ARE what I will pick.
Having overlooked the last one, I’d also jump on another original Calypso sprint, especially if its Japanese steel has never been featured, is not laminated, and gives up some corrosion-resistance for more fracture-resistance.
I’d also buy into a series of sprints that feature Sal’s other one-handed opening solutions, starting with the marvelous C27 Jess Horn. I think he has mentioned there are others.
Oops, forgot the other criteria, which are already given in the imminent sprints. For the imagined ones, let’s keep it simple. G10 scales in navy blue, satin-finished FFG blade with plain-edge (but I’d go for the serrations that the original C27 featured).

Lets hear everyone's Top 5 designs for a sprint. Try to come up with combos that might actually have a chance of happening, so keep it realistic.
Maybe if everyone participates I can start a separate voting thread at a later date and everyone votes on their favorite designs (can't choose your own) and i will tally the votes. Maybe a dealer will take notice of any trends and do an exclusive based.on some of these ideas.
2. Contoured, polished G-10
3. Forest or British Green
4. HAP-40
5. Satin or Polished
6 Plain and Serrated options
7. FFG from thin stock... 2.5mm or less.

I know I know, broke the rules with the steel choice, but can't pass up suggesting the kitchen knife steel in the folding chef(ish) knife.

Almost forgot, I'd like to see a re-run of the Hossom fixed blades:


Re: What would YOU pick for the next sprint?
In my earlier choices, I forgot about the “R”, specifically the C67GF that Tvenuto showed in another thread. I’d like his “R” sprinted with the criteria I have listed.

Re: What would YOU pick for the next sprint?
In every thread like this I’m in with a Centofante 3 with hollow ground ZDP189 and British racing green FRN so maybe I’ll change it up a bit ....
.... nope, I can’t - sorry, it’s that Centofante 3 again.
