Whats Your DREAM KNIFE?

[tomahawk23]

I haven't been on this forum very long, but I have been on long enough that I understand that most of you guys love these knives so much that you cant really figure out which one you want to carry as your EDC.
I have carried a knife in my pocket since I was about Ten. Many different brands, many different styles. In the last Ten years I have carried Gerbers, Benchmade, Cold Steel and Now Spyderco.
Cold Steel Impressed me with their pure toughness... Spyderco has impressed me with their Beauty and design.
I notice that a lot of you guys carry TWO knives, One PE and One SE...
I would also like this luxury... But I'm not going to carry Two Knives.

I would love to see a double-bladed knife like the DYAD, but BIGGER. 3 1/2 inch to 4 inch blades, One like the Endura, the other like the SE Rescue. VG-10, with a G-10 Handle, screw construction with Back-Locks. 4-way clip, Lanyard hole on one side, Rescue Whistle on the other.
The kind of knife I could take with me to another dimension and never worry about it.

A. Why doesn't Spyderco make a bigger dyad?

B. Whats your dream knife?

[jasonp]

A. yet

B. overbuilt thick&wide blade with indestructable handle and lock that can fit into my front pocket.

I don't think Spyderco would go through with a design like that due to financial/marketing reasons. The dyad is, while handy for sure (it is a :spyder: ), almost a novelty item. Very few people actually require a PE and a SE separately, I would think, and since the steel is the expensive part of the knife, a double bladed larger knife would have the cost increase exponentially, I would think. That would therefore lead to very few buyers of an unnecessary big 'ol dyad.

I don't really know about all that marketing stuff, I'm just speaking out of logic. I don't know what :spyder: 's profit margins are, though I'd like to think they're very low :D ... it makes it easier for me to shell out $120 for a knife.

Ex Dream Shiv: I had a Benchmade Blackwood mini Skirmish about two years ago. It had had very good blade steel, a black coating (one of those fancy Ti coatings, I think) , and a very unique blue titanium handle with integrated frame lock. It was my baby for the longest time, as I wasn't a spydie fiend then. My ex girlfriend stole it from me after I broke up with her. I went to her house and tore it up looking for it, but she'd pawned it. :mad: #$@%!

Current: Gunting for sure, I haven't even handled one, but just looking at the picture makes me want to strike pressure points.

I don't know why Spyderco doesn't make a larger Dyad, but perhaps it has something to do with poor sales (maybe...).


As to what I would consider my perfect knife, I honestly don't have one. I end up using PE, SE, Leaf and Hawkbill for my varied cutting chores.
I couldn't get by with a Dyad, as I use a Hawkbill blade all the time, and the Dyad has none.

If I had to chose between only having one edge type (PE vs. SE), and only having one blade type (Leaf vs. Hawkbill), I would choose to have both blade types with only one edge type (it would be PE; sorry Arend :p ); though I greatly prefer a PE Leaf blade paired with an SE Hawkbill, at the very minimum :D .

If I were forced to only carry one knife, it would be the PE Caly3. It's a marvel of engineering, and I have never come across a job which it couldn't do (there were other knives that could have done the job better, but the Caly3 performed admirably).

Dream Spydie?

I've carried quite a few Spydies, the one that was most comfortable in Hand...Large Persian...So my Dream Spydie would be a

Large Persian, Damasteel Blade, something different than Micarta..Lignum Vitae maybe?

Or.

Bring back the Full-size Manix in D2 or Bg42, I'd be all over it.

[Bear Claw Chris Lappe]

Spear Point Chinook. :D

[The Mastiff]

Manix with Vascowear, or M4 blade. Joe

[Shike]

Got it about a month ago. Classic Sebenza!

[FLYBYU44]

I'm pretty much love everything about the Lava, so that would be my dream knife, and Spyderco already makes it.

[jasonp]

Spear Point Chinook. :D

make a quick sketch plz :D

[The Deacon]

A. Perhaps because it would be even more uncomfortable in the hand than the C44.

B. Here are a couple of my dream knives. This one's still on the drawing board...

[CENTER][/CENTER]

This one became reality just over three years ago and was in my pocket earlier today...

[drf]

Paul don't I recall you having a drawing of one of the persians with a damascus blade? If I remember correctly that would be one of my dream knives as well.

[Manix Guy 2]

Dyad C44 is and has been for some time a good fit for me , I also carry a Merlin weak side or another hawkbill . Two blades are good for some and not others which is ok here , larger version of a Dyad in nu opinion will never happen . The Wings Byrd I might add is a very good sub . MG2

[diver15]

i can only answer B but conclusivley i would like to see the probe model brought back, that would be my dream knife along with alot of other discontinued knives, take a look at this site.

How about the Byrd Wings G-10 ~ BY20G? Blades are 3 3/8", almost to your dream specs; so's the handle material and the SE sheepfoot tip.

I saw a video from the last blade show, and it's a little thick, but pretty darned impressive. Can't go wrong for fitty bucks retail...
