New Spyderco Bushcraft (G10) is out :)

This is General KNIFE discussion, not car/China/politics/"my country is better than yours" discussion.

Sure: me.:D
I'm also a self-proclaimed genius.
I may go for auto-promoted ninja-master next.:thumbup:

Do you have an actual point?
(you can use the big font too ya know)

Personally, I think the G-10 handled version looks better.
If I liked shorter bladed fixed blade knives, I'd get one.:)
 
I find it funny you guys are complaining about buying stuff from china when you have no problem borrowing their money, how much do you owe them now???
something like 2+ trillion dollars, and your complaining about buying a knife!?
 
Let's see...we have complaining about jobs going offshore by people who don't know enough geography to distinguish China and Taiwan, and can't spell or use capital letters. Maybe it is all connected? :confused: :eek: :mad:
 
....anyway.

Its a sweet knife and the hole can he use as a forward lanyard perhaps? Regardless I like my spydies with a hole!

As fantastic as that looks, I think the first thing I will do is rough sand that G-10...then I will not have to fear putting the first scratch on it in the field ;)

I would need to make it have more traction as well. Other than that, looks fine.

+1. I have the same issue with some of the Blind Horse knives recently exhibited here. And for me, it's less about appearance, and more about grip. When I saw Spyderco and G10, I was hoping that the scales would resemble the remarkably grippy G10 that Spyderco puts on its folders.
 
off shore.... 01(isn't that an american steel?) .... 250$$(180)..... i dont get it.....


sal I see that your reading this thread(Thanks). Could you tell us how much money in material is in the final product, and how much money it takes to make one finished product.

Maybe tell us how much it would take to make it here.

I am just trying to get a good understanding. I am one of those people who just try to buy American when I can.
I'm not trying to sturr the pot. I like spyderco. And own a byrd cara cara, it;s great. With a great price. It's already been brought up so, that;s why I ask. I'm trying to be polite about. I know you(sal)have good intentions. Just let me know where your coming from. :) Great looking blade by the way. What is the RC?

You forgot to ask him for last years tax returns and a social security number. :(

Saying you aren't trying to stir the pot while stirring away is what? A new technique to confuse the issue?

Research the issue. Find out what Sal has already posted many times in the past then buy or don't.

I'm gonna. The Taiwan built knives have been top shelf in all respects, and Spyderco itself is an american company, not that it particularly matters to me.

Compare a Spyderco Taiwan knife like the Bradley side to side with anything else on the market including Golden made knives and tell me how it's a bad thing again? I can't see it myself.

I think I'm gonna order a G10 bushcrafter tomorrow in fact. Too nice for me to pass up. Joe/raleigh
 
I think it's a lovely and very competent-looking bushcrafter that I'd like to own.

I don't understand the price though. It's obvious that a lot of work went into shaping the handle which must raise the cost, but aside from that it's a slab of cheap O1 made in a Taiwanese factory. Why so much money?
 
Dude, O1 is not made in Taiwan. Never has been, never will be. It's American steel. Read the posts...look up what O1 steel is...

Perhaps I worded this badly... my point is that the knife is made in Taiwan, not the steel
 
The knife should make a nice option in the bushcraft knife market.

I would like to know if the damage that happened with one owner's Spyderco Bushcraft during some battoning has been adressed somehow in this design(the pin positions look the same as the original) and I must admit the shiny looking handle does look a little slippery in a BRKT kind of way but Im sure user reviews will tell in time if that is the case. I never got anyone to tell me what the edge angle is and it's really essential scandi edge info.

Having said that, the picture doesn't say much but I was impressed by a review of the original model. The design itself seems very nice and I was surprised at how beefy it is.


I do hope that if the Spyderco puukko ever comes out it won't be made in Taiwan :)

Dang... got on here to read about the micarta knife and all I get is a lesson in foreign economics.....

So, does anyone have any pics of the knife (your own personal one) and how does the micarta feel? Are they the exact same dimensions and the maple?
 
I assume you weren't really serious about getting cost of materials, labor costs, transportation and customs costs, all broken out in public with a comparison between US and Taiwan amounts?

Just a head's up, every one can look into the price of the materials whenever they feel like it. There is a lot more on the internet than a bunch of knife stores, amazon, and e-bay.

It's hard to factor in equipment and labor costs.

There is a lot of ways to look at it. What type of price can we put on things like nicely "melted" edges or some extra shine to the handles or blade? Does the price even matter to some one who has a long love story with Spyderco and scandi edge bushcraft type knives?

we've got another one completely missing the whole USA made argument.
 
Sooo... how does the knife feel in the hand, is the G-10 slick? I like the fact that it will be much tougher then the wood included on the last version... I would like to know more about the knife it's self, not about where it is produced.. It has already been produced and nothing is going to change where it came from... so lets just talk about the qualities of the knife its self already. Do any of you like it better then the older model? Is the sheath black or brown?
