VG-10 Merlins do exist, at least in SE. Have a look at this thread.

It's a shame you missed the Centofante 4, and they hardly ever show up on the used market.

Yes! More fixed blades! For some insane reason NYC has this crazy law making ALL locking knives illegal but fixed under 4" are completely legal. :confused:

I do not buy japanese market knives. 15+ years collecting spyderco and I have yet to see a picture of a VG-10 black FRN in someones collection, in person or for sale. Maybe Sal can let us know. Take care.

Hey guys at Spyderco

I was looking at the catalogue today and couldn't find one:

A Byrd with a wharncliff blade. Could we get a cheap version of a Bewharned?

Well I'd have to say we need a RGEI Pikal FB...that would fill a big gap in the industry for Spyderco....Next...bring back the Santuko...Spyderco hasn't made a decent Kitchen knife since..I have been using mine in the kitchen ever since they came out..it's the only knife in the kitchen I use.....If Spyderco would make a new one...I'd buy 30....keep 2 and give the other 28 as gifts....Doc :D

Spyderco needs more knives with blades that are 2 3/4 or 2.8" long and smaller handles than the Delica - and with a lockback or linerlock. One is on the way.
Lots of people live in states where legal carry requirements are for blades<3" - I await the Chaparral.

I'm with ya' on the blade lengths arty. There's a bunch of Byrds that come in just uner 3", but it seem's like every Spydie I want to buy for EDC is 3" or 3-1/8".

Well it finally seems like the "working" Wharnie gaps will be getting filled.
Apart from that a FFG SE hawkbill needs to happen at some stage.....oh while were at it, an S90V SE Millie :p

And yes the return of the Cobra hood!

How about a Delica with a plain BLACK blade. Why produce a combo edge and not plain edge? I know they used to make one, but it's been long discontinued.

And, consider the same for the Endura, please. :)

The only thing I would want is a slight mod to the Military model.

Heavier duty blade like the Endura, and maybe a lock back.
