Spyderco Forums

Lets dream about our perfect knife,because we know with Spyderco dreams do came true,sometimes.It has to be a knife Spyderco never produced.
Mine will be an XL fixed blade Dragonfly.Roughly the size of a Mule,with a bit slender,ffg blade,full tang,same handle ergos as the folder,S30V steel,cobalt blue micarta scales.A brown leather sheat with a dragonfly stamped on it,set for horizontal carry.

Plain titanium Endura with Cruwear/3V/4V at rc 62-3 for $200 or less. :) That's a knife I can retire with in style.

Maybe a 10v Manix back lock at rc 63.

Backlock Military in Maxamet

I will also take one of the Mastiffs Backlock Manixs in 10V.

spydiechef XL (or the gringo-surf or whatever it will be called)

spyderco gyuto (in the kitchen line)

spyderco machete kukri (or a bigger schempp rock)

contoured Giraffe bone ss bolstered Caly3 with 2mm thin blade
Ancient Ivory micarta Shabaria
Cage Ball lock Lil Native (FFG no swedge 2.5" long, 2 mm thick blade)
malachite clipless Kopa, no dent, 2 mm stock blade

Stag handled Kris with hakkapella Damasteel blade.
White linen Micarta Kris with VG-10 blade
SE para 2 in S90V don't even care what color G10
Darn Dao with steel bolsters and black linen Micarta

That's a hard question but I'd love a knife to replace my much missed Gerber Pixie.

Nothing fancy, something like 1/16" x 7/16", parallel stock VG-10 at least for the blade, FRN handle (not black) and light kydex sheath.

I wouldn't turn my nose up at a drop point version of the Sprig with thinner stock Maxamet and red or burgundy micarta handle either. :rolleyes:

A chopper.

In the Spyderco showroom they have 4 bladesports knives from competitors they have sponsored. I was able to handle them all. Why don't we have a production version of any of them? The chopper market is huge right now. The Darn Dao looks great but seems to be geared more towards collectors. I like big knives around a pound with 9-10 inch blades.

Ed's knife is a kukri like knife and Gayle's knife (if I am remembering the right one) was a large Bowie in M4. Yes please!!!!

I would buy a production version of Gayle Bradleys knife or Ed Schempp's knife. I have a Schempp Rock and for me it is just too small for a kukri and the handle tears me up when trying to chop. I cannot handle much texture on a chopper handle.

Hmmm .... drop point Caly 3, linen micarta scales, .... maybe s90v

Linerless contoured CF Manix2 LW with M4

Now you are talking my language, especially with the back lock Millie. I have dreamed of this knife for years.

I know buddy. I am as hopeful as you are that the Police4 will scratch that itch.

Chaparral in s110v or Maxamet would do for me. CF or RN scales to keep the price down. :)

Basically a production Delica 4 Li'l Para compression lock with green, blue or black G10 scales and S90V. Then the same in blurple/S110V. Both with a deep-carry clip similar to the Casey Lynch design.

And bh49's CBBL Li'l Native sounds cool, as does the SpydieChef XL.

I agree on the linerless contoured CF but make it a mini-manix with a blade around 2.5" and torx construction.. Oh and either a stonewashed XHP blade, or DLC the M4! :cool:

This sounds great too!

I have my dream knife: mantra 1 with no flipper tab

If I could have some wishes come true:
1. Sprig/southfork K390 sprints
2. Delica/Dfly M4 sprints
3. Junction M4 or K390 sprint

Holland, do you have a Junction?

Gayle Bradley 2 that I could close with one hand!

DF2 in Delica 4 blue with Lc200n blade plain edge. Mini Sage 5 with a blade length of 2.45" in M390, as my federal facilities knife.
