H1 USN Catcherman
H1 USN Catcherman
Here are some photos of my newly acquired H1 Catcherman that I picked up earlier today at the SFO!
Comparison between FFG Endura and Military:
Blade stock thickness comparison vs. a H1 Ladybug. It has a very thin blade and really would not hold up to any hard use. When I first picked it up, I naturally tested to see if there was any blade play. At first ii mistook the flex in the blade as play.
I noticed when I first got the knife that the blade is noticeably more thin then the locking bar and there's a visible gap between the FRN and the blade. Though there is no noticeable blade play.
This thing has a rediclously thin tip! Great for precise work but again, if thi knife is used for something other it's intended use you run a very high risk of breaking the tip.

Over all I think it's a great knife for it's intended use (fillet knife) and would make a great kitchen knife. The fact that the blade stock is so thin means that the edge can be super fine and would make an absolutely insane slicer. Unfortunately I would not want to do anything more strenuous with this blade. Maybe I'm too paranoid, and just need to put the knife through it's paces. I really love this colour and really hope we'll see more in the future!
If there are more details you'd like to see let me know!

Hi All,
Not only is this a really cool looking knife, but I have to Agree With ClusterFlux on his Statement, " I really love this colour and really hope we'll see more in the future!" Also, as much as I do not seek out Tanto Blade Shapes, I bought the Smaller Kabar folder just for the color scheme, because I like it so much ! I also don't know how long it will take to get My Catcherman, but I can hardly wait !!! :D :D :D
I would really like to see a Delica, Ladybug, Native, or any other Frn Handled knife come out with a black blade and a toxic green handle.
I am a realist, and I know that this probably won't happen, but I can Dream, can't I. Would anyone care to see these colors repeated on something else? :D
Thank You SPYDERCO, and USN,
Charlie

The more and more that I look at the Catcherman, the more and more I want one. I just need to convince myself that I NEED it and come up with a reason. And then order it and not let the wife see it for a while. That would be hard to do with the toxic green. It would be like a beacon light glowing out of my pocket.
