Dear Sal, could a SE sprint from the past be a posibility?
Reading over some of JD Spydo's old threads has me curious if we could ever have one of the spyderedged badasses from the past come back? I will list the usual ones that everyone pines for. Your feedback to Sal speaks the loudest! Speak now or forever carry a PE.
1. G10 Ayoob in SE
2. Breeden Captain in SE
3. Dodo in SE (been done, easy bring back)
4. Military in SE (been done recently, real easy)
5. Para 2 (never been done, couldn't be hard)
feel free to add others, but the Ayoob and Captain both scream out for teeth like a suddenly awakened Alabama fan! War Eagle!!

Would just the inward curved portion be spyderedge? I think I could really like something like this. I am good with bringing back some full SE models. Also it is nice to see someone else carrying the torch for JD while he is recovering.twinboysdad wrote: ...2. Breeden Captain in SE...

I've seen and posted a picture of a Captain modded like that. It looks amazing!xceptnl wrote:Would just the inward curved portion be spyderedge? I think I could really like something like this.

Here it is! Definitely would consider doing this to mine, but I gotta fix some lock-up issues first
And I would enjoy another run of Military in SE, I've got one in 440V SE that's amazing but, you know the saying, one is none, two is one :p
Of the others, I don't find the ergos that good so I would pass on those.
However, some other old runs that I would like to see brought back as SE Sprints would be an ATR, a Lil Temp, and of course, the Aqua Salt! Would love any of those as an SE Sprint!

Alright, I'm sold. That looks both vicious and versatile.
So true. We could use a new SE in a unique steel.Invective wrote:...And I would enjoy another run of Military in SE, I've got one in 440V SE that's amazing but, you know the saying, one is none, two is one :p

I completely agree with this line of thinking. I have decided to carry my ATR tomorrow. Shame it is PE.Invective wrote:I wanna say Ti but I know that would bring the price up a lot, so let's go with SS/Black. Plus then it would probably be Seki City and not bog down Golden more than it already is.

I LOVE fully serrated blades. Not partial (combo edge) but full serrations. I'd be game for a blast from the past with full SE.

Cheaper, faster, and easier to send any PlainEdge knife to Willey Knives (http://www.willeyknives.com) and have them SpyderEdge it. They have professional machine that perfectly matches Spyderco's iconic edge. :D
Yeah with the C-111 Captain model the inner arch part in full Spyderedge is definitely what I would have in mind. Because the rounded off, pendulum edge end would be handy for many everyday cutting chores. If my memory serves me well I believe that the original Jason Breeden Captain model was intended to have the inner arch part fully serrated.xceptnl wrote:Would just the inward curved portion be spyderedge?

The picture that "Invective" is showing is exactly what I have in mind for that model. I wouldn't even be too particular what steel they would use as long as it would be VG-10 or better.
Also the original Dodo from 2003 was offered at one time in full Spyderedge and it was a "beast" of a knife with that edge type. I never could figure why none of the Sprint versions were ever offered in that edge??? The Military model in 440V was offered for a while in full Spyderedge and I've heard many wanting it to come back in the line up fully serrated.
Long Live the SPYDEREDGE Spyderco Hawkbills RULE!!
This got me thinking, what models in AUS-6 have we had in full SE that would be made better with a steel upgrade?JD Spydo wrote:

The first knife that came to my mind was the MeerKat!! One of the best LBKs and it came in a variety of blade shapes, Reverse S being my favorite! If we could get a sprint MeerKat in VG-10 of the MeerKat with SE, I would pick up at least 3! It's such a nice little unimposing knife, plus you can win free drinks from your friends by challenging them to close it :p
Also, this thread needs more pictures, so I'll post some of the yardwork I've been doing the past few weeks.
This is my front yard. Way too many flowers. Gotta take em out somehow, and our town has an ordinance banning gas tools so no weed whacker for me. Guess that means, it's time for the SpyderEdge to shine!
This is two weeks in. I probably could have finished in a day but our recycle bin is small and fills up easily.
Tools of the day! If you can't tell that's a 440V SE Military. Last week I used my Gin-1 Worker, which worked just as well, although I was thankful for the longer blade of the Military. The SE just makes it so much easier to cut through the flower stalks, especially the old dead ones. I tried using Super Blue Caly 3.5 before but it kept getting snagged on the dead stalks, and I was nervous to cut it near the dirt for fear of dulling the blade. Not so with the SE! I have cut into the dirt and even dug into it with the stone/brick walkway a bit and the Military was fine.
