Spyderco Forums

Hi folks,
although the Hungarian finished its career at Spyderco I designed an edc version. It has a modified blade, handle cutout for easier lock operation, a double side wire clip and G10 scales. This blade shape is closer to the authentic one.

Nice work, appears to have come out great! In my opinion, the Hungarian model, as is, is a big sleeper! It has fantastic ergonomics, but it just seems to lean towards the gentleman's folder more so than an EDC model. This is exactly what the Hungarian needed to shine as work knife!

Again, great work and nicely done!

Very nice blade, but a handle is not my cup of tea.
BTW, I am carrying my Hungarian today. I like this knife a lot.

Why gentleman's folder cannot be EDC?
There are quite a few of them just great for every day carry: CF Calys, Memory, Centofante3 & 4, original Persians, Fluted Natives and so on. Sorry, forgot Hungarian :) . It carries well.

YES!!! Would love to see this in production especially in XHP. Love the wider blade and the wire clip should be standard. Very cool.

Nice work...

The Spyderco rendition of the Hungarian is one of my favorites.

that's really cool

Nice job, congrats!

My bad, might just be me oddly categorizing knives. I didn't mean that it can't be an EDC option, because, quite frankly, it can be and a great one at that I agree. I guess what I meant was that with mirror polished bolsters and slick black g10 scales, it seems more likely that you would try to keep those looking pristine for when you need to slip the knife into a suit pocket. To each his own though.

A "gentleman's folders" can absolutely be a great EDC option. In fact, my first Spyderco was a CF Chaparral. I "EDC'd" that knife for months and loved it. Until I got myself a "Cat" to feel less guilty about using my nice carbon fiber knife for harder use things like cutting zip ties or plastic strapping at work. Now though, I consider the Chaparral a "gentleman's folder" and mostly carry it during formal events or occasions. Partly because of materials and partly because of the design itself.

Nice design! Looks good.
(like the clip as well)

I still need to grab a Hungarian to complete my ethnic collection, a LW would be pretty cool too, that one looks great.

Clicked on the thread expecting to see discussion of an FRN version, which I don't think has never happened for an Ethnic series knife before.

But surprised to see the photos in slab G10! That looks really amazing to me! Great work! Looks like some Mr. Schempp inspiration to me.

It looks like you missed the boat when they were cheap. Unacceptable.

Nagyon jo!

I know...definitely slacked on that one.

I think LW version looks great and I would be far more inclined to use it versus the bolstered version. I avoided the original despite loving the look as I knew I would use and carry something else over it almost every time. I have way more than I need and skipping it was part of my scaling back process.

Köszönöm!

Haven't gotten round to getting a Spyderco Hungarian yet, but i do have a "real" Hungarian :)

I don't like how the blade isn't angled down like the original is - that's something I've come to love from many of Spyderco's designs.

Otherwise, pretty **** nice! I wouldn't mind carrying that for work in the yard

Not sure but it looks like the edge is still angled down but that the point moved toward with spine with the increased blade width.
