H1 Spyderhawk -- Let's Commit!

[SimpleIsGood229]

That would be interesting! I'll still buy a plain-jane H-1 Spyderhawk, though!

By the way, where's JD been?

[clovisc]

yea -- where's JD?

still thinking about the H1 spyderhawk possibility pretty much on a daily basis... :D

[amen74]

Just saw a photo of the original SpyderHawk. Yeah, I want one. H1 would be great too. :)

From BF:

You guys are like kids begging Sal for new toys. :p :p

You think this is bad you should see some of the requests for knives Sal gets at the home forum. It's amazing. :) Joe

Did someone say H1 Spyderhawk? :D

YES! Loud and clear!

I just had to post this over here at the home forum, and thought that the H-1 Spyderhawk thread is the right one. :D

[genius5th]

im sure by now sal and kristi know there is a definite interest for this h1 spyderhawk to make it into reality is anyone's guess. It would be nice though since I wasn't into knives when the first spyderhawks were out and didn't purchase any but hopefully things come full circle and Spyderco re-releases the spyderhawk in this H1 format

[SimpleIsGood229]

You and me, both, Genius. I've only been really into knives for a couple of years or so.

I use my Tasman salt everyday and would love a bigger version that fits my hands better. I'd buy at least two or three.

[SimpleIsGood229]

I will buy at least one SE. Heck, I may just buy a PE for that matter, but Sal's gotta get 'em made first.

Sorry for my extended absense. My workplace has been nothing short of pure insanity here of late

I don't know where we are at this time as far as making progress with this project. But being the thread is being active I guess we are heading in the right direction. I'll try to get some time to read up this weekend.

Tell me though what would be wrong with using the original Spyderhawk handle? We are asking for a Spyderhawk with H-1 blade steel and for it to be available in plain edge and Spyderedge.

I would like to see both edges have a yellow handle like the Tasman and for it to have a different handle. But I'm also open to other suggestions as well.

OK I see that I have some catching up to do. Back to business :)

+1 I`m all in for having that too. :)

[genius5th]

id love a g10 handle but cost might make it easier to make the old FRN enudura 3 handle with the ambedextrious screw clip. An endura IV handle is a good comprimise since you can totallly break apart and field strip that to clean the insides.

[SimpleIsGood229]

I have no problem with the E3 handle, as it would keep cost down and increase the likelyhood of the H-1 Spyderhawk seeing daylight. I'm thinking that the E4 handle, while more sophisticated and ergonomic, would add a lot of cost to the project mainly due to making the nested liners rustproof. I'm thinking that making the E4 clip out of titanium would add some more cost as well.

That said, I plan on buying it regardless of the handle used.

[Clawhammer]

The Civilian while very nice, probably isn't suited to my needs...and the Tasman is just a little too small (for my needs that is..I'm sure it's perfect for many)..and there aren't any NIB Spyderhawks around, so:

I'll buy one!...Where can I put some money down?

[SimpleIsGood229]

VICTORY!

Did Spyderco give a "yes" or are we still speculating?

I'm not trying to be sassy, I just haven't followed every response. :D

yes.

H1 hawkbill - Spyderhawk - Pacific Salt handle - yellow - fully serrated and plain edge.

[hickster]

I'll take one of each.
Of course, now the question is ...when? :confused:
I would like to have my plain-edged one in black FRN though. :o

[SimpleIsGood229]

Pshhh...you and your bright-color-SE fetish! :p :D I would like black as well, but I frankly don't care! I'm just thankful to be getting an H-1 Spyderhawk!

[defenestrate]

I am more excited about this knife than any in a long time. Thanks, Sal, TK, etc. for making this happen, and thanks other hawkbill fanatics for keeping the faith!

[hickster]

Pshhh...you and your bright-color-SE fetish! :p :D I would like black as well, but I frankly don't care! I'm just thankful to be getting an H-1 Spyderhawk!

Yeah, I'll allow that.

I am very excited that this is finally happening! I will definitely be purchasing one of each blade configuration. WHOOO HOOOOO!
