Spyderco Forums

I'd love to see one in my favorite steel...H1! It seems like a fairly easy development project since you can reuse the 1 piece FRN handle. It's also hollow ground :) I don't think it would overlap the Salt1 much because of the dramatic difference in blade shape. Just a thought. ft

I'd like to see pretty much every spyderco knife in H-1.

A rust-proof yellow Native would be great!

As well as a green one, a white one, an orange one, ...

I'm in! But I don't like yellow. Black, olive drab, or blue are ok.

"El Tigre"

If it were to be done, it probably would be a Native III Salt.

I'd buy a Native salt as long as the handle was not some rainbow color. I love the profile of that blade, in fact I think it's one of the best profiles Spyderco makes. The blade would have to have to have a black finish for me though.

I'd buy one if the price was right

Any chance of a NativeBug? Native sized Ladybug?

Even better. The Native III best of the Native designs yet. :D

Here's to that!!!!

What about an H1 Native in a darker, forest green??

So far, :spyder: has resisted making H1 knives with anything other than yellow or black FRN scales (with the exception of the Mariner Salt). Yellow, in particular, is exclusively associated with H1 (a good thing from a marketing/ branding perspective).

Since the standard VG-10 Native III is already black, we're left with yellow. I'd definitely like to see a yellow H1 Native III.

I'd like to see Spyderco take the plunge, and do some H1 knives in other colors. It's about time that people realized that this steel has huge advantages as an EDC choice, and begin to accept and treat it as being on par with -- or better than -- the other landlubber steels out there.

H1 -- it's not just for divers anymore.

H1 is the most perfect choice ever for fly fishing, hunting, hiking, snow sports, people who sweat lots (and have toxic sweat), lazy people who don't want to dry their knives or who just want to clean them in the dishwasher, people who hate dealing with rust over and over again, people who live in humid areas, people who live in rainy places (USA's NW coast, SE Alaska, Britain, Scandinavia), people who live in hot, dry areas but sweat lots... and perhaps most importantly, people who may have to go from office to oil spill emergency response in a matter of seconds. :D :p

What about a whole "survivalist series" of H1 spydies, with a special FRN color to match? The whole "survival" thing is popular right now, with a number of TV shows holding the public's interest... survival folder, survival fixed blade, survival slippy... :D

Looks like there is interest! Using the Native3 handle is an option but I'd much prefer the original. My dad has carried a Native1 exclusively since it was released. He started with the G2 blade, wore it out, and I replaced it with a nice S30V! H1 would be the best!

My vote is ORANGE! Do it now before over-saturating the market with orange handles. In a survival situation I want to be able to find what I am looking for. Orange is the best color under any/all circumstances. Yellow is good, but definitely not in snow or the Fall season. Orange is THE emergency color. Please, make it so No. 1 (Sal).

Are you making Sal be Riker? Probably not the wisest choice :)
