Spyderco Forums

Will the MT39P include the BBB logo?

On top of winning the Mule dream lottery and getting one, I sure would like one with the BBB logo.

Please.

I was wondering the same thing. Actually, praying for the same thing.

BBB logo would be nice, but I'll get one (or more) regardless, if able.

Hi Bob-alatl,

Welcome to our forum.

I wondr how many folks know what an atlatl is?

Some of us on the forum have been accused of using atlatl to inhumanely fell mammoths in our younger years.

Oh! I was thinking Bob from Atlanta

Maybe Spyderco could offer flint knapped knives. I'm guessing the spidey hole would be a challenge.
I want to primitive hunt at some point before I'm too old to do it... I stunk it up first time I tried throwing a dart.

If your not familiar with the atlatl, here's a neat short slow-mo of an atlatl launch, fwiw.. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/XQ_Ukdhdfxc

If Spyderco did offer a flint knapped knife... Do you think BBB could do a high performance knap and put a Logo on it?

Looks like arrow flights back in the bad old days of cedar shafts. With the advent of the force multiplying bow and the insane hunting crossbows, arrow shafts have improved to take out that bending on launch.

Never heard of a ‘atlatl’. But looking at the clip, seems very similar to our (Australian) ‘woomera’.

Older video, but shows a Woomera in use.

Just keeping it Canadian...

We're having some fun here, way off the topic "BBB Logo", but I see an intentional difference between the evolved American (North & South) atlatl and the Australian version of same tool. The atlatl dart (spear) is lighter and more flexible while the Aussie spear is stout and heavier. The Aztecs (atlatl name originates from them) used them to pierce the Spanish invaders amour, as well as hunting.
Can see advantages for both, think I would pick the lighter faster dart for small/medium game but the heavier one for something that may turn on me for his lunch..

Sorry, back to BBB Logo..
