Spyders you would like to see in a larger scale
I used to lobby for a 3.5" Lil' Temp. But there are so many great Spydercos in that size now that I'll get behind the 4" C95 Manix II.
Our reason is quite satisfied, in 999 cases out of every 1000 of us, if we can find a few arguments that will do to recite in case our credulity is criticized by someone else. Our faith is faith in someone else's faith, and in the greatest matters this is most the case.

I've become a big fan of the Tasman Salt; I'd like to see it with a slightly larger, different handle. Something maybe with a slight backward curve, some gentle finger choiling; a larger, different handle that sheaths more of the blade than does the Tasman Salt's Delica 3-series handle.
Of course, a new Dodo- bigger or the same size- would be just fine with me.

I'm with the previous posters who stated that they would like a longer lava. I'd also like it to be a wharnie if possible.
I'd love a non-auto folding SWICK/SPOT blade about delica sized, with a wire clip for carry anywhere, or some sort of kerambit revisit.
I'd also love to see something like a mini Paramilitary 2 with a 3" blade and a high flat grind.

Bigger Salt stuff
I like the idea of a bigger/larger/wider Tasman Salt :cool: Although you could make the case that the Spyderhawk already fits that need. But if you're thinking along the lines that I'm thinking in then consider this>>>> It's not so much as a size increase which would be nice but I would like to see a modified, revamped version of the Tasman.seanv wrote:I've become a big fan of the Tasman Salt; I'd like to see it with a slightly larger, different handle.

Have a Tasman Salt was a much pointerier tip, a marlinspike on the backside and a yellow G-10 handle. Now what Hawkbill enthusiast wouldn't like that :cool:
There are many in the Salt Series I would like to see modified. And I won't quit beating the drum for an H-1 Temperance FB05 model. And they could make it as big as the Temp 2 if they liked. Oh with a G-10 handle also.
Long Live the SPYDEREDGE Spyderco Hawkbills RULE!!
My thought, JD, wasn't so much to change the blade of the Tasman Salt, as it was to redesign the handle into something larger and different; my only gripe (if you can really call it that) with the Tasman has been how far the blade juts out of the Delica 3-type handle in the closed position. I think with a little engineering prowess, a slightly larger handle could be made for it with some backward sweep, that better sheaths more of the blade when closed. I don't own a Spyderhawk, so I can't speak as to its design, but I see the same issue with it and its Endura 3-style handle that I find with the Tasman Salt.
I've handled a few knives with backward sweep on the handles- mostly custom pieces- and it's possible for it to be comfortable and well-executed. Granted, this is just my wish-list item for Spydie production, of course. But I think it'd be an interesting and useful knife, with proper execution.
And as long as I'm demanding a complete revamp, I may as well ask for liners and G-10 while I'm at it. :D Or maybe some carbon fiber. :cool:

Not a bad idea at all
I like your line of thinking. Personally I haven't had any handle issues with the Tasman or the Harpy either one>> except I do prefer G-10 over FRN for Hawkbills which is why my G-10 Harpy is so sacred to me :cool:seanv wrote:My thought, JD, wasn't so much to change the blade of the Tasman Salt, as it was to redesign the handle into something larger and different; my only gripe (if you can really call it that) with the Tasman has been how far the blade juts out of the Delica 3-type handle in the closed position.

But what the heck I'm all for improving something that's already nice to begin with. Innovation is what Spyderco is all about for the most part. The Salt Series holds so much promise down the road and it only makes sense to keep something great in the pipeline.
But a slightly bigger and more pointy blade would make my day as well.
Long Live the SPYDEREDGE Spyderco Hawkbills RULE!!

This may be kind of "out there", but I'd like to see a larger version of the discontinued "S" model. The original is approximately the same size as the Chaparral, but the injection molded 440c blade and aluminum scales make it light as a feather. Plus, this model has a very nice compression lock, which is a lot of fun to use.
I'd like to see the "S" model scaled up to the size of the Sage, complete with injection molded blade and scales and, of course, the compression lock.

Ooooo, I like that! Definitely a Shabaria. Maybe a smaller model? One less likely to offend sheeple? I've always liked the blade; maybe a different handle? It's not really ergonomic for me, and I like using knives, as opposed to merely looking at them.
