Please don’t listen to this confused being. Lefties, like redheads, are likely not even human.

Well...that's awesome news.

Re: SPK Lamia colab
I like to be inclusive but man I really feel like left-handed clip mounting holes have spoiled the aesthetics of a ton of otherwise perfect knives, simply to appease less than 10% of users.

M398 or the upcoming T15 could be a good fit if they both tested well enough to justify putting in a higher end folder!Rinzler wrote: ↑Sat Jan 07, 2023 4:54 pmM398?bbturbodad wrote: ↑Fri Jan 06, 2023 7:33 pmBut it would need to be some trendy steel to get me to pull the trigger
Re: SPK Lamia colab
Like the other Taichung titanium framelock knives, I think CPM-S90V would be a well received steel on the Lamia. That said, I think Vanax would suit it best; but I also know that Spyderco has yet to use this incredible steel.
Re: SPK Lamia colab
+1 for Vanax (I have 2 sharks in it and they are awesome). Can’t go wrong with Cruwear or S90v either.
Re: SPK Lamia colab
Aesthetics is a small price to pay for letting the 10% be able to fully and comfortably operate an otherwise 90% only knife, and opens up an additional market for lefty customers also.

Re: SPK Lamia colab
I think cost is the #1 factor why Vanax has yet to be used in any Spydie.

Re: SPK Lamia colab
Vanax would make this too expensive.
Re: SPK Lamia colab
Beautiful scales on that Spydiechef, where did you procure them ?Dr_No wrote: ↑Fri Jan 06, 2023 6:58 pm[Heres a pic of my favorite Spyderco and the Lamia][/https://imgur.com/a/vK9poiB], for anyone interested in a size comparison
Re: SPK Lamia colab
Man I hope this materializes. Elmax or XHP could be fun? Though in truth I'm going to buy this regardless of the steel choice.
Re: SPK Lamia colab
Shipped! Should be at Golden tomorrow. Needed everything to be perfect. So, may not be at Shot Show. But, I’m confident it’ll be a hit either way. I’d like to thank everyone for the overwhelming support and I’d like to especially thank Sal for taking the time to even consider looking at my design. It means a lot. I appreciate all of you.
Stay Hydrated...

I'm happiest with Micarta and Tool Steel.

Hi Bk.Obamah, SPK_ULDB,
Welcome to our forum.
Hi Alex,
Thanx much for jumping on that. Appreciate. The crew is already in Las Vegas for SHOT. Our Alex will watch for it and it will surely go to Amsterdam and IWA.

Re: SPK Lamia colab
Love the minimalist hardware and the form. Just would love a large enough handle for big hands. Spydiechef is the smallest I can go without being a pain. Much love for the LC200N and just got my first Vanax knife that could make this a double duty food prep knife. I like the look of the non textured handles for the sake of keeping it clean in design and the practical side of ease of cleaning.

Re: SPK Lamia colab
Sadly, yes. I would like to see more manufacturers selling lefties like Spyderco does on the Millie as an option for those who love the aesthetic of a clean looking knife such as this. After market scales fixes this for some models.
