Larger or Smaller Scale Spyderco models?

I can't tell you all how many times I've heard someone comment on a certain Spyderco model and have them say> " If it were smaller I would buy one" or some even say if that model were bigger and larger scale I would buy one.

For many years I've thought that a larger scale Spyderco Dodo model would be a beast of a utility knife. I've also thought that one of my all time favorite Spyderco models the C-60 Ayoob would make a great folder even smaller in size and scale.

It could be a bigger handle along with a wider/longer blade might be your ticket>> or it could be because of super strict knife laws in certain parts of the country would make you want a popular model in a smaller/shorter scale version.

For instance the Rookie model is actually a smaller scale of the super popular POLICE model. So which models would you all like to see in larger and/or smaller scale? Specify handle, blade ect.

 

I'm really surprised that no one has mentioned either larger scale renditions of some of Spyderco's smaller specialty blades like the SPOT model or the TOAD model. I'm also surprised that no one has mentioned smaller scale versions of some of Spyderco's great full sized folders and fixed blades like the Sprint Run SPYKER or even the BATTLESTATION for that matter. I would also love to see a smaller scale version of the SOUTHFORK model and to see that model in Spyderedge as well.

Come on folks!! put your imaginations to work because you all know that there are models that you've thought that about. Just remember the TEMP 2 model was pretty much a larger scale version of the TEMP 1 with a few modifications.

But most of all I truly want to see a bigger scale version of the DODO more than anything at this point. Oh one last suggestion>> how about a larger scale version of the C-17 Catcherman model

 

One that I would like to see go back to the beginning of it's debut is the TEMPERANCE 1 model. Being the TEMPERANCE 2 model was merely a larger scale version of the TEMP 1 for the most part. Myself I truly believe that they had it perfect the first go-around. The TEMP 1 was one of the very few fixed blades that they offered in Spyderedge and it was a great performer in Spyderedge.

With the TEMP 1 model and as much as I have dearly loved it over the years I will deviate from the main topic of this thread and declare that was one model that they had perfect from it's inception. But overall there are a lot of Spyderco models that would benefit from being offered in smaller and larger scale renditions.

I like the one Brother's idea of a supersized Manix That truly does have possiblities. I would like to see a larger scale version of the SPYKER which was one of Spyderco's first high quality recurve units. I can only imagine how majestic it would be in a large fixed blade rendition.

 

Yeah there are a few models that are perfect from the get-go. Like I said in my previous post regarding the TEMPERANCE 1 model>> to me it was letter-perfect from the day it was released. But there are models that I do believe would benefit greatly from either being a larger or smaller scale version IMO.

I've talked to a lot of people that agree with me that a larger scale DODO model would truly be an EDC dream come true>> especially in Spyderedge.

For guys who live in areas that have really draconian knife laws I just know in my gut that a smaller scale Ayoob model would be a great option.

 

That's really interesting "RLDubbya" because the "TATANKA" model is already a big beast by folder standards as it is. I would say why not just make a fixed blade version of it?>> and of course offer it in PE & SE both.

I also think that there are a lot of fixed blades that could benefit by having a smaller version of them done>> just look at the success of the STREETBEAT model for instance>> it's actually done far better in sales than it's big Brother models have.
