Another run of Whale Rescue Blade is needed.
Another run of Whale Rescue blade is needed.
Here is a recent example of a modified Spyderco Salt blade standing in:

None have been available in the retail chain for years, and there are other uses besides the eponymous one. Equipping anti-bomb robots, for example.

Re: Another run of Whale Rescue Blade is needed.
I’m kinda surprised they didn’t make it a “made to order” offering, especially given its usage. Even if they required you to buy more than one of them at a time.

Re: Another run of Whale Rescue Blade is needed.
this is one of those blades i've never had a use for and just missed them when they went out of stock for good. i'd love to have one just to have one.

Re: Another run of Whale Rescue Blade is needed.
I would definitely buy a few. I just missed them also and I've regretted not buying a couple when I had the chance. They would get a lot of use in my world!
Re: Another run of Whale Rescue Blade is needed.
LC200N please. I’ll take 2

Re: Another run of Whale Rescue Blade is needed.
They are cool, but I don’t need one personally. For those who actually rescue entangled whales, this tool is a godsend.
Re: Another run of Whale Rescue Blade is needed.
NOAA has several of the Whale Rescue Blades. I know because I worked with them (Edited to clarify, I worked with them as their contact here at Spyderco). What's shown in the video on Instagram is known as the Flying Knife. They serve different purposes. The Flying Knife is used typically when the whale is still in motion. The Whale Rescue Blade is typically used when the whale is more stationary, and they can get the blade under the material that's entangling the whale.Knife Knut wrote: ↑Fri Feb 16, 2024 8:40 pmAnother run of Whale Rescue blade is needed.

Re: Another run of Whale Rescue Blade is needed.
That's very cool! Thanks for sharing your expertise. I've worked support for whale researchers but I've never been involved in a rescue like that.
Re: Another run of Whale Rescue Blade is needed.
Neither have I, but we (Spyderco) were and are honored to do our part to support their work. Talk about dedicated people - they're truly something special in all the best ways.SchoonerBum wrote: ↑Wed Feb 21, 2024 2:05 pmThat's very cool! Thanks for sharing your expertise.

Re: Another run of Whale Rescue Blade is needed.
I don’t have a noble purpose, I just want to make a modified machete.

Hi Fireman,
So what you want is a Spyderco Machete? With teeth?

Re: Another run of Whale Rescue Blade is needed.
A Spyderco Machete WOULD be cool indeed, but with teeth?! .. even I as an SE guy think Sal was rather kidding with the "teeth" part - ?! (unless those teeth are perhaps on the spine, additionally to the main Machete chopping plain edge on the "business" side of the blade...)
Top three going by pocket-time (update March 24):
- EDC: Endura thin red line ffg combo edge (VG10); Wayne Goddard PE (4V), Endela SE (VG10)
-Mountains/outdoors: Pac.Salt 1 SE (H1), Salt 2 SE (LC200N), and also Wayne Goddard PE (4V)

Re: Another run of Whale Rescue Blade is needed.
In a word, yes. Put a machete style handle on it and it will be a useful tool that will be a more efficient cutter of grasses and some shrubs. I will be happy to help with the testing It could make a good agricultural knife for harvesting lettuces, broccoli, cauliflower etcetera. Here in California we grow a lot of vegetables that are still hand harvested.

Re: Another run of Whale Rescue Blade is needed.
It especially would be good if the serrations were canted off towards the handle as to grip the fibers better. LC200N would be my choice of steel.

Re: Another run of Whale Rescue Blade is needed.
A plain edge on the convex side and serrated on the concave side would be advantageous in a machete form. People would go ape over that. I’ll take 2. ZA larpers would be the largest demographicWartstein wrote: ↑Thu Feb 22, 2024 3:02 pm

Needs a different handle but you can see how this could be useful

Re: Another run of Whale Rescue Blade is needed.
I have to admit that I would love a 12 inch salt-series machete, but maybe separate from the Whale Rescue Blade. I’d buy both.
Re: Another run of Whale Rescue Blade is needed.
Has Spyderco ever released an actual machete?? I'd be very interested, use my Kershaw Camp 10 all the time. Would love a Spyderco!
