Spyderco and Jerry Hossom?

Factory Defect · Apr 23, 2006

Hello to all.

Just read something about Spyderco possibly coming out with a knife based on Mr. Hossom's "Chainsaw" knives. Any info would be appreciated.

All the info I've seen so far is the post where Jerry Hossum said it was going to happen:

and the thread where TazKristi from Spyderco confirmed it:

This should add another exciting model to the list of collaborations between a great custom maker and Spyderco :thumbup:

all i ask for is high end steel. PLEASE!!! this AND the schempp fixed blade? friggin spyderco taking over fixed blades now yippeee! :thumbup:

CPM-3V? please!?! if kershaw/ZT knives can do it why not spyderco! please no stainless on big fixed blades. i don't care how much technology is put into it, stainless will never be as tough as a good high carbon tool steel.

OMG i'm so excited, i always wanted a hossom design.

3V 3V 3V 3V!!!!!!!!

A noble request, but the answer will probably come right before the words "estimates only"

It's alright though, we've found that when it comes to Spyderco's new models, its best not to rush genius.

On Jerry Hossum's forum on KnifeForums he said:

"Spyderco will have prototypes in their booth at Blade. I'll be at table B1, which is just about next door to them."
