C01 Worker sprint run?

[Holland]

Would anyone be interested in a C01 Worker sprint? maybe in ZDP 189??

A sprint or updated full time production model of the Worker would be great, It was the second Spyderco that I bought. The first being the Police. that was along time ago. I would like to see a G10 version or perhaps a more inexpensive FRN version. This is one model that Spyderco has never changed from it's original design. I think it would be a great seller with a more up to date look!

I would be happy with the same version that they had in the late 90s before they were discontinued. To me the beauty of the Worker was in its original config.

[Jazz]

Definitely! Not ZDP though. That's a thin tip. VG10.

- best wishes, Jazz.

Holland you stole my thunder :D I've been screaming for a ZDP-189 Worker model for years now. I love the Worker model and I wish I had my ATS-55 version back that I traded a couple of years ago.

But YES!! a ZDP-189 Worker would be super.

Next to that one I would like to see the original C-54 big Calypso model be brought back in ZDP-189 as well.

You might be raising an interesting point Jazz. Because I'm not sure how the extreme point on the Worker model would hold up with ZDP-189. However do consider this>> I used my ZDP-189 Burgundy Caly Jr. model very hard for about 4 years plus and I never had either a chipping problem nor did I ever have the point snap off.

I've heard more about problems with serrated ZDP-189 models than I have with brittleness problems with certain models.

Well, if we got one and it was ZDP, I'd still get it. I really missed out on not liking Spydies in the 80's. Stupid me!
I would prefer VG10, though - great steel. I have to say, I really like ZDP 189, too - just seems too fine a tip for the hardness.

I'd be more than cool if I had a VG-10 Worker model. VG-10 is truly a blade steel that you just can't go wrong with. About 18 to 24 months ago there was an article in "TACTICAL KNIVES" magazine by a well known, well respected writer who said he had checked dozens if not hundreds of different blade steels to evaluate and he said that VG-10 is truly the best overall, hard use blade steel out there. And to a large degree I tend to agree with the man a lot more than I disagree with him.

The 2 Spyderco fixed blades I use a lot are both VG-10 ( Streetbeat & Temperance 1) and I find them to be 2 of the most dependable blades I've ever owned.

But still there is a place for the supersteels. Because that Caly Jr I had with the ZDP-189 blade truly was one of the handiest and most dependable folders I ever had. Also my latest Military model I currently own is the one with XHP blade steel. And I do want a Southfork with S90V very badly but when I get more of these blades with the supersteels they won't totally take the place of my VG-10 blades. VG-10 is just a very dependable, reliable blade steel and I find it very hard to replace and I do believe that it's here to stay for quite a while I'm sure.

[Jazz]

Well put, JD. I love VG10. To me it still is a super steel. And I really want a Worker. SS, FRN, G10... I don't even care.

If I had my pick I would like a Worker model with a G-10 handle and a VG-10 blade>> and that is if I couldn't get one with one of the supersteels like ZDP-189, S90V, XHP or even M4 would be a super cool folder.

[Jazz]

If I had to pick, it would be either SS (because it just seems right, even though they weigh a ton) or aluminum with VG10. I sure wouldn't complain about G10 or FRN (I know FRN wouldn't happen, though).

- best wishes, Jazz.

I still treasure my orginal version with SS and GIN steel. Based on my experience with this, I would love to see a G10 with S90v, S30v or VG10, plus deep carry wire clip.

the deep cary clip would take the knife to a new level imo

[Chris_H]

Yeah, I could go for a C01 Worker in ZDP-189.

How bout a Ti Worker in VG10?

or even better a fluted Ti with damascus

[SolidState]

I need a worker, but don't want a ZDP worker. I'm down for most anything else.

[Chris_H]

That'd be cool too!
