Upcoming Spyderco Taichung Folders

[darkdomino]

For me, a new Spyderco would need to surpass the awesomeness of my Spyderco Domino... And so far I'm just not feeling these new models.

Not saying they are bad, but I've got a wait-and-see mentality.

I like the old sage3 with the blue g-10 and I like carbon fiber so no brainer.

 

[RamZar]

Would love to see:

• Southard Mini with a just under 3" blade and preferably CF instead of G10 scale
• Techno Maxi with a 3.5" and/or 4" blade and titanium backspacer.

The new sage 3 looks pretty nice, but both the sage and chaparral feel too close to the Caly 3 for me to warrant a buy.

I want these more than any on the actual list!

Ditto. :thumbup:

Specially, on the Southard Mini which would instantly and undoubtedly become my favorite Spyderco of all-time!

Voted for the CF sage. Not sure what the black southard adds.

 

[xceptnl]

I voted Tusk.

 

[evilgreg]

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?

Yessir, that's the plan for me. That way I can rotate and carry a different knife every day while I carry the same knife every day at the same time

Carrying this one today, incidentally:

The Tusk is interesting for sure. Love the titanium with frame lock's. A lot of ranchers, famers, cowboys, etc. use the marlin spike for rope work.
The other day, a 75 year old retired cop showed me how to make a dollar bill ring and did some tuck work with his spike.
Origami at its finest!

How's that Arberg? I've had their normal 10 year and it was maybe the peatiest Islay I've drank. Big Lagavulin fan, especially their distillers expression.

I'm a little worried that I like my Southard a little too much. I haven't really carried much since I got one and I can really understand now why you have as many as you do. It's just gotten smoother and smoother with flipping and man, it's so much fun.

 

[Cisco Kid]

The only one that has my attention is the Tusk. I already have versions of the other knives that am happy with. But I'm curious to see how the new Sage 3 is received, because the blue G-10 is not what turned me off to it.

 

[Random Dan]

It's unlikely that I'll buy any of them, but if I were it would be a Southard.

 

[RamZar]

Big Lagavulin fan, especially their distillers expression.

I'm a huge fan of the Lagavulin Distillers Editions.

 

[RamZar]

Looks like the first of the new Taichung folders that'll be available will be the Chaparral Stepped Titanium at Howes Knife Shop (in stock on January 8th). That's got to be the most expensive Spyderco ever on the primary market.

 

[RamZar]

The new Spyderco C123CFBAP Sage 3 with CR/G10 laminate instead of blue G10 is now available for sale. Shop around!

That price tag made me say," Woah!" Will definitely be eyeing the Black Southard.

 

[RamZar]

That price tag made me say," Woah!"

Indeed. Plus, Howes Knife Shop's price is the least expensive!

Sorry, late stopping back in here to see this. I have a few Ardbegs in the house, but that particular one (the Corryvreckan) is not just my favorite Ardbeg, but one of my favorite single malts altogether. It you're good with the smoky peaty sort of Islay flavor it's quite tasty. I've always got a smattering of various Laphroaigs and Lagavulins and such kicking around, and the Corryvreckan fits right in. It's on the feisty side, though, at ~114 proof . . .

I'm a little worried that I like my Southard a little too much. I haven't really carried much since I got one and I can really understand now why you have as many as you do. It's just gotten smoother and smoother with flipping and man, it's so much fun.

I have an unnatural love for my Southards, so I feel for you. I don't usually do multiples of knives, I'm not really a collector, per se, but I have no problems with owning a small pile of Southards. I have new scales on the way for one of my remaining unmodified Southards, in thunderstorm kevlar, incidentally.

 

[Murdamook]

I wonder how durable the Southard coating is. I would like to see some PVD on that puppy.
