Due to a recent job loss this might be my last knife purchase for a while, might as well go out with a bang.
This is one sweet knife, thanks Sal for bringing it back.
Can we now have one in serrated, dark blue G10, one sized between the original Police and this, and, and....

They used to say "they don't make stuff like this anymore". Yet behold, they still do (even if only as sprint runs) :) Thank you Spyderco.
Isn't this a great knife? Enjoy it and thanks for sharing the pics.

Rookie comes like that.
The Delica, soak in acetone (nail polish remover), then a Dremel.

Order the clip for the Adventura. It is uncoated and has the lanyard/pivot hole needed for the screw construction knives.
I don't believe in safe queens, only in pre-need replacements.

Yes, but without the lanyard hole, the clip will not lie flat against the scale if attached to the pivot end of the knife (tip-down carry). The head of the pivot screw pushes the clip out so it takes major bending to get it to clip securely, and the result is ugly with a capital ug.

Man, I would have one of these right now if I had not just blown a ton of money on a Strider...

They look better and better the more I see them. I'm hoping the sprint lasts long enough for me to get the cash up. It would be nice if these made it into regular production.

How many pieces were produced for this Sprint??? Anybody know? Its really not a good time for me to buy a $100 knife, but I wants it! Hope they last a while so I can scrounge up some cash...
So many knives, so few pockets... :)
