Spyderco/Farid K2

Thanks for that Jim! I for one certainly appreciate your efforts when it comes to edge testing.

Your results are just getting me even more excited for this one...
 
Well I am worn out, still have the wood to do yet... Will do that tomorrow and write it up and post the full review. :)

Thinking about a video also... Short video...

Looking forward to it and thanks again for your efforts.

My K2 may ship as early as tomorrow. I was a little concerned about the late lockup but I've been so impressed by the high-quality Taichung knives that I'm pretty sure it'll be fine.

Yes, I think so, it's solid. :)
 
Great thread and pictures!

I am unsure at this point if I will get one or not.

I will have to wait and see.
 
Just a little more info on the K2, how it came about.
Many years ago I was drawing different blade shapes just experimenting with different bowie shapes, I wanted to design a folder which could do most jobs very well, out of many I chose one and kept the drawing. I didn't take it any further and never designed the handle part at that time, just threw the drawing in the pile of designs which I had at that time, it was a couple of years later I all of a sudden remembered that blade which I had drawn and went through all the old designs and found it, only at that time I started to develop the knife which we now know as the Farid K2.
I started drawing handle shapes which matched the styling of the blade shape and also comfortable to hold, I must have gone through many generations of the K2 handle, constantly changing and improving it by a little each time until it was perfect, after that I added my unique signature wavy cut out spring. The unique design of the 10v K2 is such that if you were a left handed user you are still going to be able to open the knife which is a great feature.

I like to take this opportunity to thank you all for your support, my deepest gratitude goes to Sal and Eric and everyone at Spyderco and also to Jim for all his hard work in testing this knife.

I am still recovering but I have already started the development on the small K2 to be released in 2015.

Thank you all.
Farid

Could someone tell me - what is the height of the scales? Trying to see if such a large knife will fit in my smallish hands...

thanks.

If possible, would you please consider adding a tip-up carry option on the small K2? I'm sure it would increase sales and I know I'm not the only person hoping for this.

I will take a look at this option for the small K2.
