This was actually my main complaint about the Superleaf. A maximized, truly “super,” blade with a choil delete would be more desirable.Fireman wrote: ↑Wed Mar 23, 2022 12:41 amSuperwharn would be good if the finger choil was deleted to max out the edge.twinboysdad wrote: ↑Tue Mar 22, 2022 7:45 pmSuperwharn would be iconicManixguy@1994 wrote: ↑Tue Mar 22, 2022 8:07 amI’m definitely all in for a Super Wharnie on the same format as the Superhawk and Superleaf. It really seems it would be an easy conversion . MG2

Re: Sal's Casual Bombshell Thread
Me too! I've always thought the Shaman was a homerun after first getting my hands on one. For my cutting tasks, that thick blade has never been an issue. Very interested in this one, as I hope it maintains the hand filling, but comfortably contoured handles as well.

Re: Sal's Casual Bombshell Thread
The choiless Shaman sounds very intriguing. Wondering if the scales will be flat on that one. Currently enjoying the brand new micarta S90V Shaman, it's my 3rd and only Shaman and this one is a keeper; and has totally renewed my interest in the model.

Re: Sal's Casual Bombshell Thread
Oh ho! I am surprised they are actually making this a mule. When I heard about elastic ceramic I thought surely this was not something we were going to see. I wrote off ceramic as something I had no interest in for practical blades years ago, now my interest is slightly renewed.legOFwhat? wrote: ↑Tue Jul 26, 2022 5:05 pmOn elastic ceramic mule team!

I didn’t know this either. And I never had an ats-anything Spyderco. G2, AUS8, then CPM-M4!

English isn't my first language. By "all over" does Sal meant Magnacut for most of the current models ?spydergoat wrote: ↑Fri Sep 02, 2022 11:59 amFrom "Magnacut in Seki Salts" viewtopic.php?f=2&t=93238
Re: Sal's Casual Bombshell Thread
Since it was in the context of exporting steel, I think "all over" means shipping the steel factories all across the world, not necessarily that all models will get a Magnacut variant.Xformer wrote: ↑Mon Sep 05, 2022 11:09 pmEnglish isn't my first language.
