woo hooo!

What did the original Chinook have for blade steel , handle scales and lock mech ?

RamZar · Nov 3, 2014

I have the Spyderco Chinook II from 2006 with a 3.75" ComboEdge blade of S30V (0.156" thick), G-10 and backlock. It'll be nice to see it back with that blade shape!

That's good news! In general I am a fan of FFG, but I hope this one comes back with a hollow grind like before.

lonestar1979 · Nov 4, 2014

High hollow grind and one of supersteels will make this knife superb!

I would like to humbly request a Compression lock, and would be very curious what Master at Arms Keating would think of that lock on his knife.

The original Chinook was G-10 with steel liners, back-lock and either 440V or S30V steel. I really regret selling mine so I would love a new one!

Casual bombshell from Sal, my wallet is already in pain.

I have been looking for a chinook already. Definately picking this up on preorder.

We're planning a "Power-Lock" as used in the "Tatanka".

Thanks for the info!

Is there somewhere I could find more information about the Power-Lock, what makes it desirable, etc?

The see-through picture above is pretty cool.

Edited to Add:

I think I get it now, the small piece of steel compresses between the blade and stop pin, using compression to hold the blade open instead of the tension in a normal lock back? Please let me know if I'm misunderstanding something

Chinook 2 with a power lock! That will be enough to get me buying knives again.
