I think a swedge would leave the tip a little weak for such a long blade. I still like the look of it.

I think if the blade were a bit wider a swedge could work. Anyway, I'm psyched that it's fairly thin stock and linerless scales.

The Golden backlock doesn't use a stop pin either. It's just better engineered.mayong wrote: ↑Wed Mar 27, 2019 1:27 pmThat's my only gripe with the Spyderco back/mid lock. Police 4, Caly 3 & 3.5, Endura -- they all have just a little bit of vertical blade play. All Japan-made. Not noticeable unless I'm cutting something that requires significant downward force but it still bothers me knowing that they're not stop-pin solid.

It's really nice to see all these pure classic Spyderco models this year in their next evolutions and iterations- and that 4" Native is a dream knife.
While I have loved some of the collaboration models in the last few years, there's always something utterly delightful in holding a pure Sal or Eric design.

Been waiting for the chief for years. Definitely picking one up.

I hope that happens! Really, anything in Rex45, since I missed the sprints. It could be a Rex45 butter knife and I'd be happy.thewoodpecker wrote: ↑Wed Mar 27, 2019 2:20 pmRex45 anyone?bearfacedkiller wrote: ↑Wed Mar 27, 2019 9:39 amAt 2.6 ounces I doubt it has liners.
I am personally super happy about a super lightweight 4 inch knife.
It looks a lot like the C54 Calypso which makes me happy. When do we get the first sprint? :-D

Fradon Lock still has some Rex 45 Militaries in stock.

I've been avoiding the Military, but I think it's time to give the model a try, if for no other reason than the steel. Looks like I'll be the proud new owner of some sweet steel.p_atrick wrote: ↑Wed Mar 27, 2019 5:42 pmFradon Lock still has some Rex 45 Militaries in stock.

I really like the looks of the Less Efficient, the More Efficient, and most definitely the Native Chief!

Well, I like how you think, bro. Easy to put a swedge on if you want, and let’s get the Manbug wharnie hyped up. :cool:

Well said. Love the selection this year.
Can’t wait to hear what else Wouter has to tell us.

It would be a cool knife and I'm betting the most popular of the manbugs. I'm gonna be in a new job soon and I think I'm going to have to leave a lot of my folders at home, so I'm looking for some more small carries. A wharncliffe manbug would be a nice option for the office. I had my zdp manbug in my pocket for the interview :DRe: Spyderco 2019 Production Sample – Dragonfly 2 Wharncliffe

IIRC Jazz already has a design drawing of the wharnie man bug. Bring it!ZrowsN1s wrote: ↑Wed Mar 27, 2019 7:43 pmIt would be a cool knife and I'm betting the most popular of the manbugs.

You’re absolutely right. I phrased that poorly in my original post - I meant to compare them to the solidity of stop-pin knives, not that they actually have them.

I wish there were more unlined G-10 knives.

Native Chief is looking good. Finally!
If you want sprints, we'll have to support the initial CPM S30V black G10 model. Remember the Manix 2 backlock.
That being said, if we're taking orders, I'd like one with the old style "swedge-grind" look, with the old square jimping, to match my old school Native. That would be rad.
