Generally yes, one of the reasons Spyderco is as well respected is the willingless for user requested designs/steels. There is a large market for that type of knife now, so it is hardly unreasonable to offer it especially when you are simply filling a desire and not artifically creating the market by hype.

Hi Cliff,

The leaning right now is for a "Scandi" grind on the simple carbon steel "traditional" model.

If I'm going to get to "pick their brains", then I should service their preference. The "Modern" version, (I'm hoping)" will serve the outdoors EDC market for a larger group. The plans for the Modern version call for a full flat "super steel". My leaning right now is S90V.

How is S90V testing against S125V? Better price/performance ratio given the manufacturing (grinding) cost?
 
I would like to see a sheath that is capable of neck carry, wearing on a belt in the typical fashion, or worn in the "dangle" style.

I have mixed feelings about a fire steel attachment. Most of the sheaths I've seen like that have tubes the ferrocerium rod slides into and is held by friction. That's fine if you have a brand new fire steel, but once you use it a lot I would worry about retention.
 
Anything new on the bushblade? I think that the scandi grind on the taditional 52100 whould be the way to go. There is definitely a market out there for bushcraft knives, woodlore clones are going for up to 600 bucks:eek: I can't wait for spyderco to come out with their take on the bushcraft knife. When they do I'll definitely buy one of each model.
