Spyderco Forums

So, with the 2009 forum knife completed and gone what ever will we have to talk about? :spyder:

Does anyone have a list of all the forum knives made for the Spyderco site?

What do you want to see the next one be?

Pictures of all of them, except the 2009 one, plus the ones made for the Spyderco Forum on BladeForums, can be found here. Photo of the 2009 one may get added today if UPS doesn't screw up. :D

As for next year, assuming some of the actions and reactions surrounding this year's have not soured them on the idea, I think, as in the past, the what and how will, and should be, their decision. Me, I'm game for anything from a Forum engraved Persistence to a :spyder: pattern damascus bladed Persian. :D

I think it would be nice to see a Delica forum knife, or maybe a slipit that is legal anywhere spyderheads roam.

I think an FRN Stretch (in some oddball color) would make a great 2010 Forum Knife. PE please, not CE or SE.

Is there a tacit rule that says that any forum knife has to be flashy with bright-colored FRN handles and wild graphics? If so I'll pass on the next one as I passed on the 2009 and the USN.
Anyway, my 2009 Forum knife was the S90V Manix, kind of Spyderco's present to me. It does not get any better than that.

Either the new FFG Delica that's coming next year or a slip-it.

I will also vote for an FRN Stretch. Mine has taken over sole
possession of edc since I got it. I love everything about this knife.
Never thought my Enduras would sit in the roll, but they do
now.

Slipit is a good idea, or a Manix II or Lil' Temp II.

For any of these, I'd like G-10 with an embedded, enlarged Spyder emblem encircled by "Spyderco.com 2010 Forum" in the handle. And I'd prefer the G-10 to be Lil' Temp green.

Nope, first Forum knife was a black G-10 Military. The Vesuvius, in spite of being called burgundy, was a purple so dark it appears black in all but direct sunlight. The last two, the Adventura and Lava, were all stainless. Nothing, I repeat nothing, appeals to everyone and we who frequent this forum seem to be both particularly diverse and extremely narrow in our tastes. There are also those who, for one reason or another, have a very strong opinion of the maximum acceptable price for a Forum knife. I'm (oddly enough, considering how highly opinionated I normally am) one of the few for whom, when it comes to a Forum model, the concept is more important than the vehicle.

I think that in 2011 there should be a 10-year commemorative issue of the D'Allara, whether that could work as a Forum Knife I do not know...

when it comes to a Forum model, the concept is more important than the vehicle.

Exactly my feelings.


But regarding the next forum knife, AFAIK there are plans for an US Penknife "USPK" slipit with FRN scales in the near future, with various other colors than black.

Maybe this knife would be a great choice for a 2010 Forum Knife? It will be inexpensive, modern, FFG(?), legal to carry nearly anywhere, we could settle for a nice color, and the engraving department of Spyderco could do its (great) job like they did on this year's Native. I'd buy one.

No non lockers for me... I live in the good ol USA. I think it should be a 10yr aniversary model using the 2000 original's baby brother...the Para Military. I love that perl bug on the handle.

If it's ready, I'd like to see a FRN Native 4 or the Lil' Temp 2 as a forum knife in the future. The Lil' Temp 2 is definitely more of an AFI knife and would seem to suit forumites well.

H1 Assist in some unique color. Something bright!

I would love a Para Forum Knife, maybe with CF scales and S90V blade...
Maybe that's more like a Pipe Dream knife.

Well, while we're at it, I'd like to see a blue/aqua bone or a green linen micarta kiwi for the 2010 forum knife. How do you like them apples?

I would prefer a Delica as the base for a forum knife.

A big plus one on that!

Perhaps the revival of an out of production one, if possible. I'm thinking of that incredible PE Shabaria design for example...

How about a Manix2? It's affordable enough to make a good forum knife. My other thought is maybe a UKPK :) .
