Spyderco Forums

But it turned to the possibility of a group purchasing knives on their own and having them engraved as an "Unofficial" Forum Knife. I wanted you all to be aware of this, before anyone did that and couldn't back out of it.

Although, it is always a fun discussion to watch.

i hope we didn't step on any toes Kristi...we wouldnt have done it without Sal's or your blessing.

I'll post more when those are complete. As I mentioned though, Sal and I are both traveling, so it'll be at least a couple of weeks before I can give out details.

Thanks though!

Kristi

o....well thank you then! :o

Thanks Kristi........I'm looking forward to this.

No Tony, all of our toes are just fine.

Just wanted to save you all the time and effort if possible.

:D Kristi

Throw us a bone here............ :confused:

Blade legnth....... ?

CF? Micarta? G10? FRN?

Thanks, any clue at all would be cool.................


I for one am hoping for a non FRN anything with a 3 1/2" or longer plain blade ............... Unless its the new ZDP Stretch FRN.
S90v is always nice.......... :)

Let us know when you can.........
Thanks!

With all this talk about the old Calypso Jr. ....maybe it should be that bad boy. Nice and affordable. Best cutter ever.

Some great ideas, and this time, I think I'll follow through.

Really like the idea of the Meerkat or the Calypso Jr.. The first blade that went through my thick skull was the Meerkat with a better steel choice than Aus 6. Quite fond of that little blade even with the steel it has.

Thanks Kristi.

:D Kristi

thanks...i am glad all the lil piggies are fine :p and i will gladly hand over the headache to someone more qualified. thanks again and i don't care what knife you guys choose "cough endura cough"

Something caught in your throat Tony

Something hot like Lava :D

Hey Taz,

I will be in on this no matter what knife model it is & no matter what the handles are made of. I would prefer a folder over a fixed blade & would like a sub 2 1/2" blade so I could carry & use it here in Chicagoland :)

But I am not concerned with what it turns out to be I support whatever your choice is & will get it for sure :D

Thanks for doing this for us

I feel, in my heart of hearts, that it will be a burgundy Dodo. :) I know it's a reach, but....

Sweeet! :cool:

I'll second the Caly Jr, though the original 4" Calypso would be at the top of my list as well. My ZDP Caly Jr, which was high hollow ground to a .005" edge by Tom Krein is probably my most used folder by far. Having a factory version of that knife (or a full size Calypso!) would be a great knife to have as one I could keep close to factory specs to have as a cherished user/loaner to show others what Spydercos are all about. I find once people use Spydercos they start buying lots of them, as those "funny" looks turn out to be so functional. Just ask my Dad who just bought a Civilian because he wanted a good last ditch SD knife. A couple of my Spydies are on the permanent borrowed status with my old man after his joking about the looks. Now you can't pry a Spyderco out of his hands.

How about the new Sage Titanium framelock we saw a while back? I am eagerly awaiting the release of that!

I think that may be the Titanium Framelock (RIL) Sage2 your thinking of.


I would like to see it be the rumored Ti Framelock Military. (Hopefully with G10 and nested liners on the opposing side)

Your right ClockWork, I was looking at carbon fiber Natives on the bay and put the wrong thing. Either of those Ti models would be great!

:D :D :D I'm with you on this one David. The Calypso Jr. would make an excellent forum knife.

Oooh, a Ti Framelock Millie! Now, that would be the ultimate!

Caly JR would definately get my vote

I was thinking that the last 2 forum knives were forumite designed. Maybe a new one in 2009 with forumite influence could be the one. Chokwe.
