First pictures of the spyderco bushcraft knife

huh that's pretty interesting.

when i heard the words spyderco and bushcraft i figured they would at least use something like plastic or G10 scales or give it a funky shape...

but the only thing that makes that knife distinctly spyderco is the hole.

pretty cool, i like the design and the handle contours.

it also looks like it has a tapered tang, which is a nice touch on a production knife.

Any guess on the price point given previous designs?

I'm just guessing, but it'll probably have a retail price around $200...hopefully it comes down between $100-150...that would be a little more tolerable. I don't know if this will be a one-time run or full-time offering, but it's a great looking little bushcraft, and knowing Sal, he did a lot of research, testing and development to get it right.

The handles are very comfy and everything looks very well thought out.

Handled the protos 6 months ago:D

PS! Might be a more high tec version on the way later

Cost??? I know its early..but Spyderco really stretched reality when they came out with the WOODLANDER/ HOSSUM design. Thier initial price was WAY outta line IMO. The woodlanders are finally at a price on the secondary market that I could afford one if I wanted a recurve....I hope these come out with a realistic pricetag.
After saying that..it look great! I will be looking into getting one when it hits the market.

:thumbup: well said, I agree 100%
 
Nice looking knife, except for the stupid looking hole. It really detracts from the overall appearance of the knife, in my opinion. I don't have a lot of affection for trademark holes.

I think 100 to 150 is about right seeing that Muskrat and Koster are right in that range - and they are custom / semi custom.

The production model will have a skeletonized tang, not a tapered tang. See the post from Chris in the original thread.
 
I really Need this Knife, I was just about to get a new bushcraft knife, it looks like I may have to wait a bit. this knife is as close to perfect as i have seen in production bushcraft knives

My edc is one spyderco or another pretty much every day of the week, and most weekends. they are really nice knives.

Hmmm, nothing special, almost exactly like the koster bushcraft but a bit chunkier and it has the fugly hole.
 
My thoughts were pretty much in line with HD, I wasn't expecting much (if ever). But that thing looks great! I really hope the price is at least somewhat down to earth so I can pick one up.

I'm elated and amazed that they gave it such a comfy-looking, well-rounded handle. :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:
 
Well it was only a matter of time before a production version of a full tang scandi design came into existence. I would have though Mike Stewart would have the edge on getting this out first though. I know there is the Enzo knives, but they seem pretty restricted in distribution.

Still, spyderco doesn't saturate the market with their fixed blade knives and there will always be a place for the custom guys putting their unique spin on their products. Overall, it will be a plus to have spyderco's marketting and buzz bringing the bushcraft style to the forefront. Personally, I'd probably still go with a custom maker given that they seem to be able to compete very well with the price of the big production guys when it comes to low volume high quality products.

I agree with the earlier comment that this version looks a bit too thick. Spyderco knows sharp, they know thin and they know cutting geometry. So I wonder why they went towards the thick camp especially given the perceived overlap they will get with the Hossom collaboration which are marketed as wood/camp knives.
 
It does look a lot like Koster's, but that's what a scandi bushcraft should look like. The differences are noticeable but subtle. Except for the hole. Price is about the same.

Made by Dan or someone in China, I gotta go with Dan. I've been very impressed with his knives. No hole in his either.
