Any Plans for more 'Waved' Spydercos?

Dingle1911 · Jul 29, 2008

I have a waved Endura and I just love it. But it doesn't have the feel that the Paramilitary has. I would love to see the wave feature added to some of the knives made in Golden like the military.

Thanks for making such a great knife.

Yep, I especially love Spyderco's implementation of the Wave. If I want a knife and there is a Waved version, I would undoubtedly choose it.

No plans at this time for additional "Emerson Openers" (Wave is a registered trademark for Leatherman).

Thank you Sal, I learned something new today. I'm not sure how much it costs to purchase the patent from Emerson, or if the "Emerson Openers" were profitable, but I know I really like having a Spyderco blade and would love to see some of the higher end knives with the Emerson feature.

That would be awesome. Then Spyderco would have the two ultimate SD knives: the Civilian, specializing in slashing, and the P'Kal, specializing in stabbing/ripping/jabbing.

Yep, I never understood why a Waved Civilian was never standardized as it is one of the few Spydercos for SD (along with the P'Kal, Chinook, Matriarch, and Yojimbo IIRC).
On a bit of a tangent, I've always wanted to see a Waved Civilian with a black coated blade, PE, with "coyote brown" handle scales, and a little stronger tip. I'd buy two and they'd market well to the servicemen:thumbup:...then again, I'm not entirely impartial

That is my understanding, but you'd best check with Ernie for his position.

I really like the idea of a Civilian with the Emerson open feature. The PE one with the coyote brown G-10 sounds awesome as well. So it looks like Sal could sell at least 4 'waved' Civilians.

If you're looking for a "waved" Civilian send an email to STR.

I had him do one for me and it turned out pretty awesome

Dingle1911 · Jul 30, 2008

really. Sorry but I am fairly new to the forums and I have heard of STR, how do I contact him?

Do you happen to have any pictures of your waved Civilian?

pageophile · Jul 30, 2008

You can hop over to: http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=810 for STR work

I thought there were some pictures in that forum but am having a problem finding them. I'll try to dig some up when I get home

Guess it's the "Opening system formerly known as Wave."

I wonder what Emerson would charge to personally open my knives for me. Then it really would be the "Emerson Opener."

Hmmm, might have to call it the Prince Opening System....
