I think a swedge would leave the tip a little weak for such a long blade. I still like the look of it.

I think if the blade were a bit wider a swedge could work. Anyway, I'm psyched that it's fairly thin stock and linerless scales.

The Golden backlock doesn't use a stop pin either. It's just better engineered.mayong wrote: ↑Wed Mar 27, 2019 1:27 pmThat's my only gripe with the Spyderco back/mid lock. Police 4, Caly 3 & 3.5, Endura -- they all have just a little bit of vertical blade play. All Japan-made. Not noticeable unless I'm cutting something that requires significant downward force but it still bothers me knowing that they're not stop-pin solid.

Re: Spyderco Amsterdam Meet 2019 Report
It's really nice to see all these pure classic Spyderco models this year in their next evolutions and iterations- and that 4" Native is a dream knife.
While I have loved some of the collaboration models in the last few years, there's always something utterly delightful in holding a pure Sal or Eric design.

Warhammer 40000 is- basically- Lord Of The Rings on a cocktail of every drug known to man and genuine lunar dust, stuck in a blender with Alien, Mechwarrior, Dune, Starship Troopers, Fahrenheit 451 and Star Wars, bathed in blood, turned up to eleventy billion, set on fire, and catapulted off into space screaming "WAAAGH!" and waving a chainsaw sword- without the happy ending.

Been waiting for the chief for years. Definitely picking one up.
Re: Spyderco Amsterdam Meet 2019 Report
I hope that happens! Really, anything in Rex45, since I missed the sprints. It could be a Rex45 butter knife and I'd be happy.thewoodpecker wrote: ↑Wed Mar 27, 2019 2:20 pmRex45 anyone?bearfacedkiller wrote: ↑Wed Mar 27, 2019 9:39 amAt 2.6 ounces I doubt it has liners.
I am personally super happy about a super lightweight 4 inch knife.
It looks a lot like the C54 Calypso which makes me happy. When do we get the first sprint? :-D

Fradon Lock still has some Rex 45 Militaries in stock.

Re: Spyderco Amsterdam Meet 2019 Report
I've been avoiding the Military, but I think it's time to give the model a try, if for no other reason than the steel. Looks like I'll be the proud new owner of some sweet steel.p_atrick wrote: ↑Wed Mar 27, 2019 5:42 pmFradon Lock still has some Rex 45 Militaries in stock.

I really like the looks of the Less Efficient, the More Efficient, and most definitely the Native Chief!

Re: Spyderco 2019 Production Sample – Dragonfly 2 Wharncliffe
Well, I like how you think, bro. Easy to put a swedge on if you want, and let’s get the Manbug wharnie hyped up. :cool:
- best wishes, Jazz.

Well said. Love the selection this year.
Can’t wait to hear what else Wouter has to tell us.

Re: Spyderco 2019 Production Sample – Dragonfly 2 Wharncliffe
It would be a cool knife and I'm betting the most popular of the manbugs. I'm gonna be in a new job soon and I think I'm going to have to leave a lot of my folders at home, so I'm looking for some more small carries. A wharncliffe manbug would be a nice option for the office. I had my zdp manbug in my pocket for the interview :D

You’re absolutely right. I phrased that poorly in my original post - I meant to compare them to the solidity of stop-pin knives, not that they actually have them.

Re: Spyderco Amsterdam Meet 2019 Report
I wish there were more unlined G-10 knives.
Re: Spyderco Amsterdam Meet 2019 Report
Native Chief is looking good. Finally!
If you want sprints, we'll have to support the initial CPM S30V black G10 model. Remember the Manix 2 backlock.
That being said, if we're taking orders, I'd like one with the old style "swedge-grind" look, with the old square jimping, to match my old school Native. That would be rad.

I want a wharnie Manbug (in a premium steel preferably)!
