Spyderco: Replaceable Folding Utility knife?

I'd love a Spyderco utility knife! My knives get abused too often at work for me to be able to buy a new one all the time, or spend all the hours fixing edge every time it gets beat to heck. The utility blades are also able to cut through some things like hard plastic that a real blade could never be thin enough to handle. I've carried a sheffield/husky/cobalt at work for a long time, but they are heavy, cheaply made, poorly locking, and don't hold the blade very well. I'd love a real one! Spyder blades would be awesome too. Another cool idea, although probably not possible, would be to make a dyad sort of knife with a "real" blade on it too.
 
Hey Sal, if you are planning on making those, you could send them out with a good steel blade. This place makes utility blades in some of the good steels, they defiantly do large quantities. I think a good steel bladed Spyderco made utility knife would be awesome, although that might defeat the purpose of a beater knife. Just a thought
 
A hem, it's 2007 now.... Still waiting for a quality folding utility knife. :confused:
 
I work for Lowe's and constantly using a box cutter. I try to replace the entire blade every two days. pretty much need to notch his cutting cardboard. The fiberglass bands that a lot of things are tied together seem especially hard on the razor's. When cutting cardboard a razor, seems preferable in two respects one the blade is very thin and does not easily bind. second the depth of penetration is limited and in many cases accounted for within a cutting area provided on the box.

In my case there probably are a decent amount of us that work at Lowe's Home Depot or grocery stores, you cannot carry a knife. But a box cutter is provided in my case. technically only the special red nonlocking blunted tip safety version provided is strictly legal. But if spyderco made one I might have to go out on a limb and try it, I could always plead ignorance and put it into retirement if called on it.

This could also be another good way, for spyderco to get name recognition in a whole mother market.

And of course I have to ask will there be any Hawk Bill spider edge zdp replacement blades available. For a dollar a pack of course

For $40 for a Delica - what is not replaceable? Mass produced .... And as has been mentioned there is the even cheaper crow line.

If you consider yours for some reason to be extra special collectable - then treat it as such and get something else as your user.

For what I would expect the replacement/replaceable blades to cost it would not be much more at all to simply get another knife. So use them and buy another when the time comes..... I am sure Sal will be making more! :)

HI Turner III,
The Delica may cost you only 40$, but here in Bulgaria that knife comes at a ~90$ price (it depends on the shop). I take about 290 $ per month (salary). Unfortunately that knife is definitely not a cheap one for me (and don't get me wrong - i do consider the distance that a package is traveling from manufacturer to recipient, the packaging and shipping cost and i definitely know that the a certain level of quality comes at a certain price range). Maybe that is why some of us consider that knife as NOT replaceable.

The things are just not the same everywhere:-).

The idea for such knife with replaceable blades is very good.

Bye

What we REALLY need is Spyderco utility knife BLADES! How cool woud it be to pull out a new blade and have it actually be sharp?

Thats a great idea.

As nice as it would be to have a spyderco utility knife I wouldn't see the point when you could buy a craftsman and if it ever breaks just get a new one for free.
