Is this a new model Spyderco?

That and the price probably reflects how many were made. I don't think it's going to be a popular model. That and it looks like 3d milling too.

A mini version would be idea. Something with even thinner blade stock for slicing.

Anyways my orange g10 is getting really dirty and I haven't done much with it besides flip it and carry it out last night. Wtf.
Scale color would be better with something else but yea.

I'm still getting hot spots where my pinky finger wraps. Plus it would be better if it were thinner at the back because pinkys are shorter.

I think they envisioned this as a collection piece from the start. I like it though. But I don't love it.

Frunkey did a video. Can't agree with everything he's said. I've already mentioned here above about the lock stick issue is purely induced by the lube only.


He was saying other people were having issues. b00n b00n did you have issues taking it apart ? Do you have any photos of it disassembled?

True, I doubt it's a huge production number. As for the hot spots, I wouldn't say it's an outright hotspot for me, but I notice the less rounded edges for sure. I haven't watched his video yet, gonna check it out later. As for lockstick, I had a little after re-lubing it, but as you said, my own fault (or in some cases the factories) after cleaning the lockface it went away again, none from the factory.
I had no issues at all with the disassembly, the clip screws took a moment longer to reassemble since they are longer than the others and the clip has a fair bit of tension, so you gotta be careful not to strip them, I'd compare it to putting a wheel back onto a car (tighten all of them just slightly until you have tension, then work them circular)
As for pictures, no sorry it was spontaneous, I will take some when I do my little dyeing project with the scales and backspacer though, since it will need to go apart again then anyway.

Not me and I don't think I'm alone.

I prefer unmodified knives and guns and I take instruction from the modified gun market where such guns go unloved because they have been modified in such a way as to appeal only to the person who modified it. If I do any knife of modification to my guns, I always make sure it's fully reversal so that I can sell the gun as stock.

Unmodified guns always sell better and I don't think it's any different for knives

That's true with everything really. Modified/Customized cars, guns, knives, any hobby really. You pretty much never get your money back and rarely get your asking price unless somebody happens to like your style/taste. I personally go into a hobby without considering resale value and I am in it for personal enjoyment, if it was all about value and practicality I would have bought a RAT 2 or a a Victorinox and called it a day. That being said, I only keep one expensive hobby at a time and can use my disposable income on just myself, so there is more financial freedom.
