Haven't been on the board in a while, but I was holding one of my first (and possibly favorite) spydies tonight wondering why Sal and co never offered it in a black bladed plain edge variant.
For years I have wanted one and wondered why it was never put into production. I can't imagine the demand for the ce is higher than it would be for the PE variant. I remember seeing a pic of one hanging on the wall in Golden, but obviously that was for display purposes.
Any of you (or spydercrew) who've been around a while know the reasoning for this or know where to find an answer? Thanks!
Oh, and nice to be back :D

They used to offer one. As I understood, it was discontinued because the folks that wanted the black bladed Native got it in SE more often. I used to have an FRN Native PE with a black blade.
Here is an example. It is NOT mine.

Say whaaaaa!? It used to be available commercially? Ugh, another spydie bites the dust I guess. Maybe Sal and co will bring it back one of these days. The native in all black pe is just so darn good looking!
I wonder how hard it would be to just run some of the pe blades through dlc in the production assembly. Minimal work I would imagine to start producing that variant...

I snagged mine in 2006 or 2007 I think and they were hard to find then apparently. Mine was an eBay score from a dealer. I can't remember whom anymore.pmbspyder wrote:Bah. I'm jealous. I'd love for these to be ubiquitous enough that it wouldn't be a sin to use one.
Maybe one day these will be run again...
