Very cool! Unique endeavours in the knife market usually end in fugly tacticool trash sold to the Americans (no offense boys but it's true lol).
This however is actually looking to be decent and inspiring. Well done.
Not to dig at spyderco, but do not let them take over. This is yours! I watched years ago as the pits knife went from home grown talent and innovation to just another hole ridden thing for spyderco to profit from.
(I think the weather is bringing out my cynicism lol)

Am looking forward to seeing more pics as these blades progress

Even more so to handling the finished product

.Whenever anyone says that grinding 125 blades is fun, has not done it...
I just have to go over each one now and clean up each blade ready for heat treat.
Which happens on Monday next...

All 125 HTed, and 40 ground ready to assemble, and not enough Corbys..ah well..
First 15 or so will be black canvas Micarta, and then I will purchase more handle material...and 230 Corby bolts, which arrive end of January...

I am doing the first 15 in black Canvas Micarta, and those will be put up for sale as I finish them,
but fear not, there are more than enough Serratas for all...

I am still busy working on the knives between driving long distances relocating rental cars, painting the kitchen and stairwell, and going for job interviews...
I am sanding handle scales today, and hope to etch the blades, make the Kydex sheaths, unless you want to do your own sheathing for those folk that can do Kydex stuff??

The Serrata is already legendary, has been for years, and it's been produced in close collaboration with Spyderco in the past, I hope Stuart did well out of it. This new batch are looking very fine indeed, I do wish I'd nicked Fluffys green micarta version and changed my address and phone number
Regards the PITS folder, Spyderco gave Mike a great opportunity to develop the knife into something special that Mike couldn't have done on his own without the Spyderco input. Sal is a businessman, but ultimately he's a knife lover. I've handled all the Pie In The Sky knives so far and reckon the Spyderco version to have the best blade geometry and the most pleasing lines of all. We're dealing with masters at work here who are proud enough of their projects to get in close, talk, and design to encourage a wider appeal. I see this as a good thing for all concerned.
