CF, VG-10 Sprint Shabaria

MCM · #1

What do you think about that?

I just saw this too! Wow, it just made my day!

I remember Wouter posted pics from the Amsterdam Meet earlier this year but I couldn't really believe it was going to be a reality! :D

Carbon fiber handle seems like a good change from the slick micarta of the proto.

Is that grippy CF or slick CF?

Good point, it does look like slick CF. But I do prefer slick CF to micarta even though it won't be as grippy as rougher CF or G-10. Is this piece made in Taiwan?

Very nice looking :)

It'll go nicely in my collection and I think one might be very handy cutting tool on recycling day :p

The CF looks very nice, but I would've thought tan micarta would look nice too :)

SHIPPING OCTOBER-NOVEMBER
Knives and history are reflections of each other. Paleolithic flint tools to modern folding knives; they exist to perform the simple purpose of cutting. Jordan River Valley nomads centuries ago made and carried a curved fixed-blade called a Shabaria for agriculture and protection. Israeli knife designer, Eduard Bradichansky, comingled the Shabaria’s traditional utilitarian profile into a modern folding knife. Mr. Bradichansky was a gunsmith and gifted jeweler by trade, new to the knifemaking community, but already attracting collectors and enthusiasts to his fresh design work and crafting skills. His career cut short, he fell victim to a terrorist attack on the West Bank. Spyderco is re-releasing a Sprint Run of his Shabaria folder with VG-10 stainless PlainEdge blade and carbon fiber handle. At first grasp, the handle’s hourglass/coffin-shape feels slim and odd in the hand but the conveyance of balance and comfort immediately follows. The light carbon fiber handle has a black steel clip embellished with a gold Spyderco bug and positions the folder for right-hand, tip-up pocket carry. A straightforward easy to access and open Michael Walker LinerLock graces the handle’s underside. Length Open: 8-11/16” (221mm). Blade Length: 3-7/8” (98mm). Weight: 3.875oz (110g).

It doesn't do a thing for me (so what, more for you guys!), but I think it is really amazing how often Spyderco goes out on a limb to bring unusual, new designs and materials to the market. What an outstanding company - no one's resting on their laurels. If more American companies thought this way...I don't need to finish that sentence.

Another tip-down only knife I don't buy that I want.
