Excellent!
What is the new price?

PREPER........

 

[JonathanD]

No idea what the RRP will be. I've looked everywhere for pics too, but no ones scanned them yet.

Why oh why stick with O1. I know it's an ok steel to use but they really should be pushing the stainless fancy steels. One of the Carpenter steels (I know stocks aren't high) or something like S35V.

They probably have a few blanks from the last lot to use up first

I agree with you Stew, they should be offering something more advanced given that they are renowned for using high end stainless on other knives.

Possibly because the last lot sold even with faulty handles,why change something that sells.

Sound good. Umm wonder if they will mess a few up so I can get a cheap second again
Guess not with G10 Will be a good knife

I wonder if they will have Kydex sheaths as well?
The long awaited NASA version.
I'll buy one. The exchange rate is quite good at the moment, and I don't need to worry about import duty.

I suspect one will be finding its way into my collection despite me saying I;m not having anymore sharps!

I can't see myself buying one - £180 for something thats factory made and in pretty dull materials. I could get something much more to my tastes and handmade from any number of makers who would be prepared to make it just the way I like it.

What is a G10 handle? Some sort of carbon fibre?

Also why do they put the hole into the blade?

 

[BigM]

I bought one of the 'seconds' and think it's great. Admittedly, I don't like the sheath, and most people I've spoken to don't like it either. Can't say I'm very impressed that they've changed the handle and kept the sheath the same. However, it's all academic because at that price I won't be in a position to buy one anyway...cos I is broke!

g10 is like higher quality micarta. it is super tough and resistant to corrosion

you mean £279 when it hits the UK shops

It's a Spyderco trademark.

its cheaper than Micarta and easier to get a shiny finish on


but uses glass fibre instead of Cotton cloth as the layers

I wouldn't have thought this is the NASA version Graham, the steel they are likely to use for that is CPM S30V.

Perhaps the Russian Space program instead?
