Catcherman LC200N Sprint Run
Re: Catcherman LC200N Sprint Run
I got one from KSF as well.
I don't even go fishing, but I'm curious to try the model out.

Re: Catcherman LC200N Sprint Run
Well, it will surely come to some European dealers, but in what quantity? And to what extent will that cover the demand? Hard to predict. Hopefully the ratio good enough that those who want one will be able to get one without too much trouble.Wartstein wrote: ↑Wed Mar 27, 2024 5:20 amaicolainen wrote: ↑Mon Mar 25, 2024 3:41 pmIf I can get one, it looks like the price will be the equivalent of USD 112 + VAT + processing = about USD 160. Hopefully I can avoid the shipping fee, but then I will have to buy something else as well, to get above the free shipping threshold. So not exactly free shipping :)
Still not that much more than CA, which is nice.
You think we won't be able to get one right here in Europe?!

I have used ksf before but ironically their intl shipping is on the high side, starting at $40 us for fedex economy, where other dealers offer the same for about 25, and usps fc from 15..

Re: Catcherman LC200N Sprint Run
Fresh from SFO, I had the S2XL in my pocket today and thought the size comparison apt. Hitting the road for work the next 7 days but hopefully I’ll find time to test it’s name when I get a day off.
Re: Catcherman LC200N Sprint Run
I've honestly never given it much thought, which is ironic seeing as I live in a country with 7,100-plus islands.
Who knows. Maybe I'll take it up after retirement

How much flex is there in these blades?
It kind of reminds me of an Emerson Persian
I wonder at it's potential against soft body armor.

Lamnia will ship for free to Norway if I spend above a certain amount, but Norway is a lot closer to Finland than NZL is, so the same shipping terms might not be available to you.
Re: Catcherman LC200N Sprint Run
Thanks! I hadn’t considered a euro dealer, they do offer free shipping here over 299nz which is currently about 165eu. Even with shipping it is quite competitive -will have to keep them in mind, cheers.aicolainen wrote: ↑ Well, there are different levels of international.

Re: Catcherman LC200N Sprint Run
Really anxious to get this in the pocket.
Really like the blade shape, looks like a fun knife.
It does have that Persian style to it.

Re: Catcherman LC200N Sprint Run
It's a big boy. This definitely has utility potential as thin as it is, a few serrations. To be honest the plastic clip isn't for me, but I'm glad I got one ...er 2.

Re: Catcherman LC200N Sprint Run
I just got mine today, it's definitely a BIG knife. Looks very "slicey". I thought I'd hate the plastic clip more, it's ok.

Re: Catcherman LC200N Sprint Run
Bingo!
Anybody know what angle this bevel is ground at?
Got this to go with it...
We'll start on the shoulders of the bevel wit first sharpenings...

Re: Catcherman LC200N Sprint Run
I can check the edge bevel on mine later. I imagine 15-17dps like most Spyderco's. Galley V is 10dps, so you'll be working those shoulders for a long time before you get to the edge.SpyderJunky wrote: ↑Thu Mar 28, 2024 6:23 pmBingo!

Re: Catcherman LC200N Sprint Run
I just got one in the mail, it’s really amazingly nice! so nice to do the slice!
Re: Catcherman LC200N Sprint Run
I received mine tonight. Big, slicey, thin blade, great price, decent quality (some sharp edges on the FRN and blade hole), very light, slasher not stabber, etc. LC200N and the coated parts will make it last in salty & sweaty conditions.
I’m a sucker for ComboEdge in long blades because it’s like getting two blades in one. A big folding kitchen knife if you’re not into fishing.

Re: Catcherman LC200N Sprint Run
I figured the bevels were probably the same as their other production knives... But I think I would like them narrower for cleaning fish.ZrowsN1s wrote: ↑Thu Mar 28, 2024 11:25 pmI can check the edge bevel on mine later. I imagine 15-17dps like most Spyderco's.

I also purchase some of the compatible CBN rods for the gauntlet to help me along...
I used to have a little wet stone that stood up at fourteen degree and I put a couple of quarters under the end of the box to make it even steeper. It worked real well but I can't find the dang thing...
I think i'm going to attach my galley v to a 2×4 block longer than the rods so I can take it to a fish cleaning table with me. I may even add some grooves lengthwise to rubber band the rods down and i'm going to also drill a couple holes for the steel rods from my sharp maker to protect my hands. My sharpmaker is screwed down to a wooden bench and I use both hands on the knife so the steel rods are not necessary there.
And I have another Catcherman in the pipeline so I can mainly experiment with one before I alter the other.
I would appreciate any future feedback on the bevel angle though if you get around to it...
Thank you kindly.
Also interested in any info or experience. anybody has about taking that LC200N down to 10°... Wondering if it will stand up to being that thin without rolling or chipping.
The cleaning tables I use at various places run from wood to starboard to stainless.
This place is a deep well of knowledge and maybe I could get some feedback...
Thanks in advance for that!
Tight lines!
