H1 and Warrior Knife

The one I handled had the "teeth," the original design and intended use for this knife included the "teeth." and this is a specialty knife and is probably going to be a pretty limited run. I don't think that adding another variation of this design would make good economic sense for Spyderco. Of course, if a lot of people clamor for it, then maybe a business case can be made for it. However, I think the profit margins on this one are already pretty tight, that sales will be fairly low in volume, and that Spyderco knows this already.

Actually I like it with the serrations. It's like two knives in one. Plain edge with allot of belly on one side for most tasks and a serrated hawkbill on the other for rope and other fibrous materials.

True, but that's why I have a Tasman Salt in a neck sheath. ;)

I prefer to be able to grab the back of my knife, or in the case of a FB, use it for batoning or kitchen work. I guess a knife called the "Warrior" wouldn't be designed for chopping onions.
 
So many people complain about the fact that serrated knives have the serrations near the hilt or near the hilt and the back of the blade. To me this is the best case example. Use the blade as you normally would (nice upswept blade) and the serrations are great for cutting anything that serrations are great for cutting:0!! This is going to be a great knife ....if you want no serrations then this is not the knife for you. All of the originals I have seen have some sort of serrations or alternative cutting edge. That is the point of having the back of the blade sharp!!!
thanks,

Wow..this is the first post I have ever defended a blade before?!!!!!
 
Agreed, it's the best of both worlds, you really won't need to batton with this one so the serrated edge will be great for rope cutting, etc and the plain edge can remain for finer tasks

Awww :(. How about if I beg and grovel? I'm a particularly accomplished groveller :).

Seriously, no answers to any of those questions? Did I hit a grand slam of 'top secret' questions?

Oh, and sign me up too for the 12-14 inch chopper.

Not to change the subject but you must be married. Sorry, I couldn't resist.
 
the knife is meant for reverse grip and the serrations are used for trapping/clearing, removing them eliminates a key design feature.

Specialized knives = low $'s, less variety, limited numbers. Oh well. :(

I understand the uses, I just don't like them. :o

Now the thick blade and large upswept shape? I'm in love with that. :D
 
Me too - had the fixed, folding, and neck versions made by REKAT, looking to pick this one up as well.
 
Ed, you just scared the crap out of me. For some reason I pictured you bumping this thread with pics of your warrior deanimating bananas, slicing open chip bags and opening up bottles of asprin.....I thought I missed her. Whew!!!! Sal said '09...should we start a count down clock?
