BF Special Edition Skyline

[kershawguy]

Bottle of single barrel & a cuban?

Ha, maybe diet pepsi and red licorice

3rd quarter sounds doable.

That sounds quite reasonable. I think 6 months from now would keep it fresh in people's minds.

Now, can you give us a hint or two at a premium steel you guys have available that would be cost effective? I'm thinking it is coming down to ELMAX and S30v from what I'm reading.

I messaged both Thomas and Dave on the prices for seven different steel choices yesterday. We'll see what kind of numbers we can get.

I'll try to get some CF and Digi Camo tomorrow.

Here's the Super Blue.

Zombie Killer Green

Royalty Purple

And my attempt at Jade...I think this is close to what you guys are talking about.

 

[Scurvy092]

The original blue you posted still looks the best.

 

[drbobguy]

The original blue you posted still looks the best.

I agree, although I assume the jade would be translucent? Could be cool.

 

[Myker]

I'm in for two. Digi cam with a stone wash finish in ELMAX would be tittys!

 

[EagleScouter]

Another vote for BladeForums Blue. :thumbup:

 

[EBHM4]

Blue still looks the best to me. I think that would be the coolest option.

 

[2 shot]

Any scales as long as the blade is M390 at $100...I'm in for a couple.

 

[totallynotalex]

Those super blue scales are amazing

 

[Dunny153]

that blue skyline would match perfectly with my blue para 2

 

[shunsui]

Blue and silver go good together. +1 vote for the silver clip.

 

[rwasham]

I would be interested. I need an excuse for a skyline. Just bout my girlfriend one. She really likes it...jealousy ensued.

 

[five.]

Blue with a deep carry clip would be my choice. I would love a deep carry clip, especially tip up option.

 

[kershawguy]

I love the blue color, very nice. While I have not spoken with Thomas about this yet, my feeling is that S30V would be the best choice for me. While it is possible that all 600 pieces could sell to BF members, I would also want the ability to sell to a secondary market as well and I think that S30V is a more recognized knife steel than say, Elmax, Vanix, etc. I will speak with Thomas about this and get some pricing ideas so a decision can be made and we can get added to their schedule.

Sounds good. :thumbup: Thanks again for helping us out, Dave.

 

[drbobguy]

Great Dave! Judging by the poll responses we have 200 yes's (with some maybes) and that's just for people who frequent the kershaw subforum.

I think one thing you may want to consider is that some of the more exotic steels out there may have their profile raised by 3rd quarter this year. I think ELMAX is going to be much better known by the end of the year as the 560 continues to roll out to so much hype. M390 and ZDP-189 will also be better known as well because of new Benchmade and Spyderco models respectively.

Just food for thought.

Good point, but s30v will be the best value for money, and still provide a great platform to base a BF special edition skyline on.
