Golden, CO made Wish List?
Re: Golden, CO made Wish List?
for myself:
1. combo edge Shaman, with DLC or H1/LC200n
2. a fully Serrated Salt Shaman if I can't get #1
3. Micarta scaled Native
4. Pygmy Warrior in H1/LC200N
For the ideal gift to friends and family:
1. Smooth brown linerless G-10 Native with a polished blade, brown micarta would work too
1.5 Same as #1 but in the Lil Native lockback

Because no Hawkbill blade should be without teeth. Every Hawkbill made should be offered in Spyderedge :cool:

Manix LW in CRUWEAR with a new color of translucent FRCP. CQI to screw construction would be a bonus.
CRU-CARTA THE SEKI MODELS! AND BRING US THE DODO-FLY!
Re: Golden, CO made Wish List?
A "Lil' Manix" with a CBBL would be awesome, around the size of the Native. My wishlist would be as follows in order of priority:
1. JANISONG!
2. Lil' Manix/Manix Jr.
3. More kitchen knives
4. Something "dressy" like the Chaparral, Sage, etc.
Save the fluted carbon Native, I can't think of anything from Golden that REALLY looks good with a suit. I usually use a Lil' Native for that duty. And the Janisong taunts me every time I see it in the catalog and know we can't enjoy it here in the US.

Re: Golden, CO made Wish List?
I'm still not giving up on a GOLDEN, CO made Hawkbill. To me it would be more than proper being that the Harpy has become so iconic in the permanent line up of long time great models.
I would also welcome about any model that had previously not been done in SE to having it available the next time around with teeth.
Also let's not forget some of the original Golden Made models like the BLACKHAWK, RENEGADE and Meerkat.

Re: Golden, CO made Wish List?
Anyone know what legal hurdles exist to the janisong? They're legal to carry in Texas, as far back as 2013.
what's the import restriction specifically?

Re: Golden, CO made Wish List?
In short, they aren't made in the USA, so we can't have them. You cannot import balisong knives legally as they are considered switchblades. Thats why all the balisongs you see in the US are either US made, illegally imported or possibly imported before legal intervention. Sure, you COULD potentially sneak one in somehow, I've seen them floating around Instagram, but Spyderco is very clearly and very intentionally hands off. They explicitly state to never ever even think of sending one to Golden for warranty or otherwise. That's why I would LOVE if Spyderco made them here in the US, because then we could finally have them! I could legally carry it here in Wisconsin as well.

Re: Golden, CO made Wish List?
Actually had no idea about this because I’ve never looked into them. I’m all for making them in the US because I due for some new scars.

Re: Golden, CO made Wish List?
More autos woukd be cool.
I'd really be down for a small fixed blade with a neutral handle, something along the lines of an LT Wright Patriiot but Spyderco.
M4 box cutting blades.

Re: Golden, CO made Wish List?
There has always been something about the GOLDEN, CO made Spyders that has given me a preference for them. It seems like historically the GOLDEN made units can endure some really harsh uses like few other knives I've ever used.
With that being said I've kind of wondered in the past why they didn't have something like a "Hard Use" lineup. I guess you could make that case for the C-36 Military and the Para models. Even The Dodo has a rigid toughness to it that very few of the Japan and Taiwan Spyders have.
Again I'm still wanting to see a GOLDEN made Hawkbill and I also think a GOLDEN made fillet knife would also be interesting.

Re: Golden, CO made Wish List?
If we get lightweight versions of the native chief and lil native to go with the native 5 I will be happy.
I would also really like to see a second production version of the shaman. Just give it a tough steel. All these sprints and exclusives are fun and all but a non s30v production version that I or others could realistically get ahold of would be great.

Re: Golden, CO made Wish List?
I keep saying the Cruwear/micarta would be a fantastic production version! I don’t think Maxamet or S110V fits the Shamans personality as great as a tough steel like M4 or Cruwear. The variety would be refreshing too.VooDooChild wrote: ↑Tue Oct 08, 2019 6:26 pmIf we get lightweight versions of the native chief and lil native to go with the native 5 I will be happy.

Re: Golden, CO made Wish List?
I totally agree with your line of thought. It's been a great success and has given us knife collectors and hard core users a real advantage over people who just carry Swiss Army Knives or just your mundane hardware store folder. Because Spyderco uses the C-36 Military and the models in the Para series to introduce newer/better blade steels. That marketing technique has really catapulted those models.Ez556 wrote: ↑Tue Oct 08, 2019 6:41 pmI keep saying the Cruwear/micarta would be a fantastic production version!

But I say why stop there????? Like when they do Sprint Runs of the Dodo or any other well known Golden, CO it would be better if they were also to use the newer/better Supersteels in those blades too.
Also determine the newer/better blade steels that excel in Spyderedge like XHP for instance.

Re: Golden, CO made Wish List?
I would be on board with a "Dodo" model with another type of locking system. Although I really like my Dodo models with the "ball bearing lock". But a compression lock similar to the one they used on the older GUNTING model would be quite interesting.
Again I would love to see a premium grade Hawkbill made at the GOLDEN, CO plant. A Hawkbill made with something like M-4 or M390, A Micarta or G-10 handle, A compression lock or something compatible. It's just high time for a premium caliber Hawkbill IMO.

You won't cut yourself on the Janisong. Not when opening and closing anyway.
