I only fish 1-2 times a year, so this will be more of a camping knife that will see the occasional fish. But maybe this will make me fish more!

Re: The Waterway Will Be Mine...
I wasn't really planning on getting this until I saw the price. What a bargain! I can already tell my wife will want one too for our nature escapades, she's been eyeing an ESEE 4 for a long time, this might be way better.
Re: The Waterway Will Be Mine...
I still haven't had the chance to use my Waterway on a big fish...but I'm keeping it with me and I had a chance to shoot a couple "Glam" shots while was in Napa this week. :D
Great design Lance!

Looks like Lance is getting some big publicity over there in Oz. :)

I've been dying to catch some Wahoo. One of these days I'll break down and go fishing. Until then I'll just continue scowling at you across the internet!

Re: The Waterway Will Be Mine...
Hi BLUE, Spyderco had them custom made for us a couple of years ago now. From memory they were made as ID pendants for one of the Blade Shows that year. :)BLUETYPEII wrote: ↑Fri Nov 29, 2019 3:02 pmHey bloke... very cool Spyderco pendant in your picture.
Where did you get it?

Re: The Waterway Will Be Mine...
Usually catch my Tuna on Yozuris. Crystal Minnows and Hydro Minnows. Sometimes I get em jigging lead...or even casting jigs at em. The paddle tail is actually a 4oz jig made by Lighthouse Lures. I have been WHACKING the bottom fish with those things.
Re: The Waterway Will Be Mine...
Must be nice to catch those out of a kayak. We usually have to run 15-20 miles for tuna. They just changed the regs in Florida almost makes it not worth going. Last time my wife and I went we caught a bunch'o nice footballs. All 5-7lbs. Great on the grill. Yes the Waterway works well. :)
Thanks Lance.

Re: The Waterway Will Be Mine...
Handled a Waterway today, on a shop.
Overall feeling is great, balance is very good and the knife is beautiful.
The handle is indeed on the thin side. When I read here some posts saying the handle was thin I thought it would be ok for my average hand size, but they're in fact thinner than usual.
I think it is a great design for backpacking, not for hard tasks but it does seem like a great belt knife.
Only reason I didn't bring it with me was the lack of funds. It is selling for 190 euros.
I think this would also make an excellent "tactical" knife. An all black version would satisfy many people for sure.
