Seems like most of the new Spydercos in the 2014 Catalog are made in Japan.

Yeah a little bummed about that. I would like more and more Taiwan personally. More Japanese means more FRN, higher prices, and not as good quality.

Only one black Southard? With the right CF scale it'll look sick.

I believe you have very nice different scales on your five current Southards?

I probably won't have the cash right now to make this happen, but a black Southard, bronze LSCF, and bronzed screws, spacers, and clip would look sick in my mind. :cool:
 
I chose TUSK because I do some fishing in the Bay and it might be useful

Reasoning for not picking the others:
I already have a southard
I already have a sage 2
I like the Ti Chaparral 2 better than the stepped Ti one
 
I don't "NEED" another Southard... but common, it looks so sexy! and sooo tempting...

ugh, decisions lol!
 
In hindsight, I should've included a "None of the Above" option!
 
I'm all over that new Sage3 with the cubic CF handle. Love it.

Any idea when it will be available?
The Sage series is made in Tai Chung , right?
 
I'll be getting the new model Sage 3 for sure. I never really warmed up to the blue G-10 on mine and like the new pattern CF laminate much better. Although.... The blue G-10 was originally chosen because it was a favorite of Blackie Collins who the knife payed homage to.

I'm not hugely into black blades, so I'll probably pass on the new Southard.

The stepped Ti Chap is priced so high that it's fairly close to the price of a small Sebenza. I understand that the milling process on those scales was complex and expensive, but I just can't see spending that much on a knife that sells for about $100 in CF form.

The Tusk is interesting, but my boat has a big honking engine instead of sails, so the only time I really use much line is when I tie up to other boats to party. So I really wouldn't have much use for the 'Tusk' on the knife.

As far as the Taichung folders go, I have all but the upcoming knives, the Ti Chaps, the Szabo's, the Des Horn and the Hungarian. I haven't received my Hungarian yet, and I keep overlooking the Des Horn for some reason.

Honestly I haven't really found the niche for the Des Horn yet. It's a nice, light little knife and at the price it's painless to add to a collection but I just don't really carry it.
 
The Tusk. I'm curious how LC 200 N will perform relative to H1.

While perhaps not the greatest nor most popular Spyderco, the Des Horn flicks out faster than any other Spyderco liner lock for me. It's also very light at just 2 ounces.
 
I'm really digging the black Southard. The fact that they ditched the blue g10 Sage 3 is a tragedy, imo. The Stepped Titanium Chaparral is super sexy, but for that price I'd opt for other Titanium Spyderco options I think. Then again, I love my CF Chaparral, and have become a huge fan of CTS-XHP steel.
