South Fork Photos and Impressions
This is a long overdue Phil Wilson + Spyderco Collaboration.
OAL - 9.5"
Blade length - 4 7/8"
Handle - 4 3/4"
Blade thickness - .120"
Thickness behind the edge - .020.
Weight - 5.4 oz
Blade Steel - CPM S90V
Handle Material - G10
The Sheath is really nice and adjustable for different carry positions.
Nice clean lines as you can see, and highly optimized design for cutting and slicing.
With Phil Wilson Custom.
Fit and finish is excellent and really does this model justice, they really did a nice job on this model. I am sure Phil Wilson will be very happy with how this model turned out. A big thumbs up to Sal and Spyderco for bringing this awesome knife to market.
Full review and performance testing to follow.

Yeah! Thanks Ankerson for putting up these pics. What a wonderfull knife and what special company to bring it to the market with that awsom CMPS90V, who else does that.... ????? Spyderco is truly a premium knife company. Despit of what those say that feel driven out of a hobby (of all things)... I liked this knife from the first publication of info and pictures and I feel that this knife is very much a professional cuttig tool. I am already lookig forward to what your testing will show.
Thanks for your effort
Cheers, Jurphaas. :)

Going to put it through my full battery of testing just like I did with Phil's knives.
Care to make a prediction Jim? :D

I will. :)
It'll come in between the best production knives and the full custom stuff. It's going to out cut most everything production now on the market, but it's not going to get into the rarefied air of the Phil Wilson Custom fully hard, thinner K294 or S110V blades Jim has. There's a little matter of higher carbide steels run 6 points harder with thinner geometries. Can't get around that. It should keep up with any production knife on the market though.

In the middle of the rope cutting stage now, it's doing very well. :spyder:
