I’m in for Cruwear. A sprint like what they’ve already done with the Ayoob or Stretch XL is in mind.

DLC 4V would get some takers. I wonder if St. Nicks would consider it. They have been willing to go for big knives in the past. Millie 4V is on my top 5.

I’d jump on a 3V (maybe 4V) uncoated C95 sprint. But a hunk of AEB-L would allow me to let out my breath.

A few months ago it would have been a hard no. I figured it would be too big for my wide but short-fingered hands. But then I rescued a dirt-cheap, mis-sharpened CruWear Manix 2 XL from eBay, and dayam! I was shocked at how good it felt in hand.

So yes, I'm all in for a C95 sprint in an upgraded steel. Please no black G-10, though. OD green micarta and 3V sounds perfect.

I used to own two C95s but sold the dino jimped one (shredded my thumb) so now have just one. I like it, but it gets a lot of "drawer duty" since it is quite heavy. If a desirable steel made it worth the purchase, maybe! I would hop on the 3V train. Would be nice to have a super tough, big knife. (Though I expect smaller, lighter FRN and FRCP knives would see more of my use.)

Looks like the C95 is gaining a lot of attention. I would be interested in one, any flavor, as long as I can actually get one. Some of the exclusives, especially St. Nicks and REC, have been very difficult for me to order.

I'm honestly baffled that we haven't seen this in 3V & OD Green Micarta yet. It would be such an epic knife. It is literally the knife that my avatar is based on and I told myself I would keep this avatar until this knife happened. That was like 4 years ago now. Lol. :-||

In and In!

Not fussy on the steel, though I am a fan of stainless.

Wouldn't mind seeing it in the "standard" Spyderco sprint of CF and S90V.

And most importantly... AVAILABLE NORTH OF THE BORDER!!!

OD Green Micarta and 3V seems like a popular choice. Would this be in satin, stonewashed, or DLC?

green micarta and any high quality tool steel would be a dream come true. 4V, 3V, M4, 52100....I'd take any of those.

I'd be willing to spend way past my $200 limit to see it happen.

I’m all for a Sprint!
I like the green micarta idea.
It is the best looking micarta Spyderco has recently made knives with.

I would prefer 4V, MagnaCut, Spy27, S45VN or even AEB-L. These are what would grasp my attention in the same way green micarta would, as far as steel goes.

Yes I'm in!

Been watching secondary market for a while trying to get a C95.

Not too picky - tool steel and G10 or micarta would be great.
