Posted: December 6th, 2009 | Author: Thomas | Filed under: Tactical steel & outdoors magic | 2 Comments »

Some really quick news on some Spyderco folders that are pending release:

 

FRN UKPK

 

First of all, an exciting variant to the Slip it line of non locking folders- FRN (Soft tactile poly plastic) handled variants of the UKPK slipjoint knives.

I really cant wait for these and the specifics that we do know are as follows;

 

  • USA Made
  • GIN-1 Steel
  • .100 Blade thickness (Slightly thinner than the original S30V ones).
  • First run will include, Maroon, Grey and dark blue colored scales and blaze orange for the “rescue” serrated lambsfoot blade model.
  • According to Sal; “the future is open” so we may have lots of variants and sprint runs :D !
  • $50-60 MSRP so around the same price as the  tenacious when it hits the stores, awesome!.

 

Gayle Bradley Folder

 
This is a super mysterious folder, I cant get any idea of what it will really look like so if anyone has any details please let me know!

 

  • CPM-M4 Blade steel.
  • Carbon Fiber Scales.
  • “Heavy Duty”.
  • Skeletonized liners- Stainless steel not titanium.
  • Liner lock.

 

I will try to keep you updated!

A+

    That “GIN-1 Steel” is new for Spyderco, right?

    Spyderco has released the Gunting trainer in GIN-1 in the past ( http://www.spyderco.com/catalog/details.php?product=26 ) and from what I can remember I believe some Police sprint runs in the 90′s were in GIN-1 too.

    I could be wrong though, anyway in my experience GIN-1 is in between 440C and AUS-8 so its a pretty good entry level steel.
