I'm an admirer of Spyderco's designs. Using them is like immersing yourself in music or studying a painting in a museum. I buy some "fine" art but my preference is for usable art.
Like David, I'm just fine as is (though if we ever have the Ohio meet, I may have a few things HE would wantDavid Lowry wrote:I no longer need anything else. See my sig.
Well, I am looking forward to having a Sage with every possible lock (especially a ball lock - that would be TOO cool). But these are in process already (Sal, can the ball be next after the RIL?).
I guess there are changes I would want in a couple models but the end goal always seems to be to turn them into a Caly 3/Lil'Temp/Sage... In the end, I just need to get (another) one of them, if anything.
The one new release I'd be interested in is the Phoenix IF it were FFG with a wire clip. I really do like the looks of the Phoenix but without it being FFG I just KNOW I'd never actually use it.

Hmmm...
My Dear Friends,
I guess I consider it difficult to find much to change in Spyderco's line, save for a few cosmetic things that are only personal preference. I guess if I could be ridiculously nitpicky and have absolutely anything I wanted:
G-10 Harpy - Give it a set of orange G-10 scales, an Emerson Wave, and in so doing make it a hawkbilled "rescue" knife.
Tasman Salt - Add an Emerson Wave or enlarge the opening hole a bit more (like the prototype I reviewed - I'd practically kill to have that knife back) and otherwise don't change ANYTHING (unless you would want to full flat-grind it, of course). I ALWAYS have a Tasman Salt PE close at hand.
Yojimbo - Add a removable Emerson Wave like the P'Kal. It would then be as perfect an SD blade as I have ever seen. And yes, keep the smurf blue G-10 scales - I love them.
Dodo - add a ring backspacer to convert it to a karambit. It would really shine in this role, IMO.
Santoku - Bring this one back with a full flat grind and a Granton edge.
Other than that, possibly considering getting a custom run of G-10 in a subdued blue color to better match blue jean denim? :p

I still support the Orange Dodo Sprint Run.
S30v, VG-10, 440c, 8Cr13Mov I dont care.
The Dodo is such a amazing knife its a shame for all the Dodo-less people not to have an opportunity to own Dodo...
(Make it in Seki or Taiwan if you have to)

+1 on the G10 D'fly. So glad they're making it :)Ben4735 wrote:Black G10 Dragonfly with left handed clip in vg-10
Would like to see a Caly 3 in FG G10, with a larger 3.5'' blade
yea! I haven't owned a Dodo but I've had the pleasure of handling them. A different colour would indeed be interesting, plus orange G10 is bright enough to add to the sheeple friendly factor :DClockWork wrote:I still support the Orange Dodo Sprint Run.

I agree. A stainless steel Native 4 would be amazing!!!v8r wrote:A stainless handled PE Native 4,is that a unreasonable request?It would match my stainless Native 2 very well.I also wish they would build the concept knife called the Chief that I saw in a post earlier this year. :spyder:
I would also like to see:
- ladybug sized hawkbill with a bottom finger choil all stainless steel.
- Emerson opening Police3
- Kopa all SS without any of the weird handle materials
- Stainless steel blade Mule WITH a Spyderco Micarta handle (like the Street Beat)
- Fixed blade Native 4 with micarta handle (like the Street Beat)
- 12" Manix based on the original design
economic FRN models of the Caly 3, UKPK, Kiwi(or in G10), kukhri, kopa, and paramilitary
Pick a Card, Any Card
:My Spyders:spyder:
Orange G10 Wharnie Urban 064v
Blue/grey Waved Delica 4 (gifted to my close friend who is headed to Anapolis)
Black FRN Jester Ghetto Wave
ATS-55 SS harpy in full spyder edge!(loved, and then gifted to a Plebe at annapolis)
Carbon Fiber KIWI
Manix2CE 064v Ghetto Wave
SSSE Cricket
Delica4 full SE Ghetto Wave
May your food be rich, your knives be honed, your women be sweet, and your good friends stoned.

A highend medium-large (like the Endura) design with the following:
HANDLE & CLIP: just like the CF Caly3, but scaled up to the size of an Endura
BLADE: just like the Police3, but scaled down to the size of an Endura
This may resemble the old full size Calypso (which is fine by me) but I think the combination as I describe would make an elegant update to a medium-large folder with a good degree of "wow" factored in.

Now that I think of it:
1. Take the Paramilitary handle(any color but yellow:eek :)
2. Put a Military nested linerlock on it
3. Put a Para sized reverse S fully serrated blade on it
4. Low rider clip
.....and presto, you have my dream knife :D
