:thumbup:Hi Sal,
Spyderco knife users don't use box cutters. We don't buy blades to throw them out. We appreciate good steel and a well made product.
Your knives are "razor sharp", yet you don't make a dedicated razor. I've recently started using a straight razors. Noone makes them out of VG-10, a steel that IMHO is perfectly suited to such an application. It takes a great edge, stays sharp for ever and is corosion resistant.
ZDP would be another good option but a bit more expensive to make and a bit harder to re-sharpen. I've heard of a few custom ZDP straight razors from Japan. Users report that they are amazing to use but they all cost the best part of $1,000 and it's almost imposible to find a craftsman to make one.
Is it a worthy idea or is it too much of a deviation from the Spyderco range?
Maybe a Spyderco Zowada in VG-10 with graphite or titanium scales could be the next big thing? I know that I'd buy several.
Regards,
AussieMark
