They're being sold at the rate of 11 per day over the last 5 days. At this rate and price they'll be in stock for another 80 days.

Felt slightly sacrilegious pulling apart a brand new limited edition knife the same day it arrived in the mail, but very happy with how my blade swap turned out. Blue terotuff scales are from Fireside Co.

It's weird seeing the blade and the scales separated after seeing the stock images for so long. I like the SE CO one the best.

Can anyone explain how the handle was done?

I suspect this is a silkscreen of red white blue yellow over blurple g10???? New out of the box the texture of the handle is less grippy than standard PM2 g10 but more grippy than PM2 smooth g10, and less grippy than PM2 carbon fiber. I suspect the finish filled the low areas and will eventually wear off the peaks, which should render a really cool worn/weathered look!

I was going to pass but being the Colorado kid I am (soon to be 60 years native), I had to get one.

Mostly over the initial price shock; and now enjoying the knife...

Get one while you can!

I mentioned this is another thread too but it appears to be exactly that, just blurple scales with the Colorado Flag image printed on somehow. I too would assume it is screen printed on.

With actual carry and use, it certainly seems like it will wear down on the high spots of the scale texture. Not that I'll be the one to find out or anything, I'm just guessing. lol

Can anyone explain how the handle was done?

Probably the same way the digicam are done. The image is probably the last later just below the top resin peel ply coating.

The Colorado flag image is visibly printed on top of the scales. I will try to get a close up photo later today to show it better.

First photo shows the printed flag image wrapping over the edge of the scales and also shows how the printed image fills the "voids" in the peel ply texture. Also, the bottom scale is telling that it was originally a blurple scale before the image was printed on.


Second photo shows how the printed image extends into the countersunk portion of the screw holes.

I also took some photos for the 4th of July yesterday and wanted to share them here.

[u.w.]

Those July 4th photos are fantastic Nick, as is the one you posted yesterday in the "Spyderco in yer pocket" thread! Happy Independence Day to you ( and everyone else, a day late).

u.w.

[archangel]

Very nice! And thanks for the detailed pics. Interesting....

Thanks! I took a handful of others but these stuck out to me as the best of the bunch.

Thanks and sure thing!

Personally, I'm really interested to learn about the process they used to print the image on the scales. :spyder:

Thanks, I like your photo as well! I was considering a similar composition with the flag in the background like that.
