Future H1 Plans?

I'd like to see a H1 dive knife fixed blade. No scales but the handle should be drilled for weight and so the end user can do a cord wrap if they so desire. The blade should be a dagger style. One edge should be plain and hollow ground. The "top" edge should be full serrated and flat ground. Blade length would be between 4-5" for a total length of between 10-11". Blade should be 3/16" stock.

Won't do much good unless the internal components are also rust proof, which I imagine would cost a pretty penny for that much titanium. Might even have to switch over to a liner lock for that purpose.
 
I believe Sal said that Spyderco is developing an H1 Dragonfly model. There is also a Hawkbill Ladybug in H1 in the works as well.

On a related note, the Ed Schempp Rock Salt has been discontinued in H1 steel. Sal has said it looks like they will re-introduce the Rock Salt in VG10. I can't wait for that one. :D
 
I will put money down on the Dragonfly right now if offered, glad to hear the rumor was confirmed. I'm looking for a 'bathing suit' knife that is between Delica and Ladybug, I can see the Dragonfly catching on as the only transition knife between those sizes.

I'm down for a couple of those for sure. That is probably my favorite smaller knife at this point. I cannot wait for the ZDP version too maybe with BRG scales. :D

All it would need is a back lock like the old manix and other folding knives in the salt series.
 
I've been hoping for the comeback of the Catcherman in H1 or the introduction of a H1 fixed blade fillet knife. What fisherman wouldn't want a fillet knife that won't rust, particularly saltwater fishermen? There may be some suitability issues with H1 in this application that I am unaware of, because I'm sure the Spyderco braintrust has at least considered it.

Similar to the Boker dive knife, sounds good.

Exactly, that would be great for fisherman
 
It would be nice to see an H1 knife in anything besides FRN and pinned construction.

Let get some G10 going Sal.

I think the price may go up considerably due to the Yen-Dollar exchange rate. The Japanese foundries will not export H1 steel to the U.S. to be machined and such.

Still, I'd like to see a H1/G10 knife in the future. :D
