Spyderco Forums

Dear Sal,

I know this is firing on ALL cylinders of eccentric but would a sprint like this be economically feasible?

I’ve been dying to try a FFG thin hawkbill from Spyderco for some time. I adore my Superhawk and carry the VG10 serrated Ladybug Sprint often. If the Ladybug didn’t have the teeth I think it would be a more viable EDC for small tasks and appeal to a wider group of people. I think it would have a heckuva lot more bite per ounce than the standard drop-point assuming the user had any empathy for the thin hard tip.

Polls don’t seem very scientific but one is attached for fun.

Cheers,

Or maybe VG10? I'm quick to sell out :D

Not for me. A regular SpyderEge ZDP-189 Ladybug however and I'll take at least two. Yeah yeah I know the SE would involve a lesser hardness and ultimately lose its advantage but hey.


That or come up with one with another super steel, say S90V or M4 :)

Make it available with that blue color the Endura 4 currently comes in, and you got a bomb.

Hey Blerv,
I would love to have a pe hawk bill as mentioned.
I love the se ladybug hawk, and a companion would be suweet!
I'm this close >||< to pulling the trigger on a g10 pe byrd crossbill at my local dealer to go with my se g10 harpy.
Later,
Don

The Ladybug Hawkbill already as been offered as a sprint run in VG-10 with a black handle.

I've said it about a dozen times, i'll buy at least 3 of them if he makes a wharncliffe Ladybug/Manbug. VG10 is fine too.

Yeah, what do we need with belly on a knife that small?

I voted for multiple as long as they come in BRG, Orange or maybe White FRN.

I'd have to see it. Can someone do a quick mock-up?

I'm in Blake, if it's CF. FRN - I'd have to think about it, but probably.

Great, GREAT idea!

I'd be in for at least 1.

I will pass. I had couple Hawkbills in PE and wasn't impressed.

This thread is super pathetic. :)

I know, right??

Sal was teasing us with the idea of Ladybug sprints in another thread. I think it's a great idea. You can buy three of them and not have to sleep in the dog house for a week. :p

I voted that I'd buy one. I would like one.

It does seem like a good model.
