Signature Series - Spectrum

rayster357 · Apr 10, 2015

New signature series. Looks like a Vindicator with a 12ish or Sheepdog bowie blade. BT only, no SF finish.

Finally one I know I can pass on. My least favorite blade shape combined with my least favorite (maybe second least behind the 7) handle shape. Have at 'em guys.

Not bad. It would have to be stonewash finish to get my money though.

Bad Intent...

To me it looks like a bowie style CSF.

Totally different grip style.

I'm torn between this and the cqc-12.....

I ordered one and my order says completed. Hopefully it has shipped and will arrive Monday or Tuesday. I'll post a pic of it with my 12 when it shows up.

:thumbup: looking forward to it! Lately, I've come to desire Emerson's with low slung blades. That's the only hang-up I have about my 15... this one looks pretty low, but I'd prefer it a bit lower.

My thoughts exactly!!! Any model I see with the low set blade makes me want to buy!

Only in black, but is that now or forever? I'd be more interested if SF too.

Emerson + Bowie style blade =

Lately they've been coming out with so many models that it's hard to have em all!!

Indeed... That's how I ended up with two Roadhouses--regular and super.

Those new low slung blades have a much straighter, more natural angle on the thumb ramp. The ramps on my waved 7 and Mini Comm cramp my thumb up too far back with no leverage.

I must try one . . .

Too late, already gave in and traded for a 12

However in the past I've never been fond of bowie style blades. Not until now anyways so if the 12 doesn't satisfy I may have to trade out a smaller EDC like my grayman DUA for one of these spectrums....

One of the the things I love about the CSF.

Mine has arrived. #68. Single detent. Grippy pant pocket ripping G10. No wrist flick needed for thumbdisc opening. Fastest and smoothest yet I have purchased from EKI that uses Nylatron washers. The grip is comfortable if it's your style. I'll post more pics when I get a chance but here's a comparison with my 12 and 15. Blade is almost perfectly centered. Lock up is starting at 40% with a wristflick or Wave and a touch sticky lock. Happy with this purchase.
