I just want a stonewash blade

 

[Riz!]

norcalAF I am so with you! I would love stonewashed blades from spyderco! I get why they dont and I could always do it myself, but it would be a sweet option.

 

[DA170]

The CS Orange G10 XHP exclusive Blade is my favorite! Got a DLC Bodacious incoming ($209 from NKs) and AWT scales, just need the graphite RSD back spacer now!

Not interested in the Bodacious myself.

It seems very similar to the Shaman. I've got 2 of them -- a G10 S30V & a CF S90V Sprint.

For those of you who like the Bodacious, other than the slightly lower wt (about 1 oz less), what's the attraction vs the Shaman?

Longer cutting edge(no forward choil) and thinner blade stock!

Yep, no choil and thin blade stock sold it for me. Paired with RSD Ti scales and it's rapidly becoming my favorite Spyderco to carry. I love the no-choil Spydies, the Bodacious, the Carribean, GB2 etc.

Caribbean is a gem! Would love a variant with different scales

Carribean is my constant companion while gardening, rinse off in the sink, air dry and oil occasionally!

I wish they'd do the same to the paramilitary2, manix etc. Loose the finger choil, add more cutting edge. Get the handle real close to said cutting edge.

I look at it as an upgraded shaman. Or shaman 2

This is the way!

Or at least keep most the choil in the handle. Once the handle is longer than 4 inches there's really no need to be wasting blade with a huge 50/50 choil.

Just waiting for AWT Scales and back spacer, love it already!

The only knife it makes sense on to me is the dragonfly

And that's only if you care to get all fingers on the knife. The ladybug works great with only a 3 finger grip but the sharpened edge length is just barely shorter than the dragonfly.

 

[DA170]

The Lil Native works perfectly with the choil and it’s a second pocket knife most days! Have you tried the Siren?

 

[Murphjd25]

I can’t wait to get one of these in a updated steel!

I’m assuming we’ll get a Micarta CruWear and Spy27 regular production! 15V would be awesome and I’m betting DLC 4V, M4, And 10V exclusive too.

Bought AWT over other brands for the contouring and removing forward beak to line up with blade when opened! The deeper grooves are nice for grip without making them pocket shredders.
