Translucent G-10

[Seanski]

I really love the look of that translucent g10 that is on the Leaf Storm.
I was just wondering if Spyderco would consider offering it on any of
their other fine knives?

thanks,
Sean

Hope so, Para2 with it would be nice.

You'll have to ask the head honcho himself. Mr. Sal Glesser.

It's basically the same as the digicamo Military and para already in production, except without the digi part. that is called "natural G10".

I disagree. I think the G10 on the leafstorm is gross. Looks like snot. :barf:

LOL. You could use some RIT dye on it and make it a sweeter color. I think a RED would look really nice on the LeafStorm.

Digi-cam models are translucent.

What??, the Leaf is pure awesomeness!!1!

The G10 on the Leafstorm looks like jade.

How about a model that is east-asian orientated in design or even a Lum design?

I prefer my knife handles to be made of something that cannot be seen through.

It's just not natural. And don't try to convince me otherwise! Not listening.

So this doesn't do anything for you then Frankki?


Kidding, I'll pass on this one too.

 

[Frankki]

Might as well hold an X-ray image of a knife.

Yeah opinions vary on the leaf storm scales but I quite like 'em. The manix pic'd above
though reminds me of my old water pistol.

 

[lambertiana]

Some like it, others don't. I happen to fall into the former camp.

I like different materials. I have ghost green jade G-11 chopsticks. I like the look, it's really nice on the Leafstorm.

Chopsticks out of G10 you say? Hmmm, where can I get a set of those? Do tell

 

[Reeek]

I like G11 too and would like to see more options with it.

 

[HardUse]

I like the translucent/jade/natural G10.

5.56 - I will be the first to admit that your photos are some of the best on BF.

That said, here you can see what I mean. That shade of green does not remind me of jade but something a preschooler whips out when he's digging for gold. :barf:

Even though I cringe with that variant of G10, I'm glad Spyderco is keeping things fresh and offering it. Different strokes for different folks.

I've had them and love them, though I think the green G11 only works on some knives and not others, wouldn't look to hot on a Strider or some other knives, the Leaf works great in my mind.

But it's no CF Manix 2.

I love it, looks like jade. I'd buy a Para 2 with it right away.
