Spyderco 2019 Lists: Delivered & Upcoming

Plus Lil' Native. I like them all because the blade hole doesn't have that big hump which makes the folder wider in the pocket.

Blade Lengths:
  • Lil' Native: 2.45"
  • Native: 2.95"
  • Shaman: 3.58"
  • Native Chief: 4.08"

Yes, the Lil' Native would be a part of this family too but I didn't mention it because (although there are some exceptions) I generally do not collect knives in the 2.5" range, which are just too small for my taste.
 
Thank you. I did get one and a free Boker Subcom. What a deal. Sold out again.

Not trying to sound stupid, but does anyone know if the Rex 45 is ever going to be released again, I ask because on some sites it says out of stock, instead of discontinued, like BladeHQ. I also wonder if they'll bring previously done steels to these lw para 3 and pm2 models, such as a steel like rex, and/or superblue.

It’s possible, we’ve seen HAP40 and SB appear later on, years after sprints.

After all, REX45 is an American made HSS, it’s fairly exotic but not impossible to get.
 
Any signs of a LW P4 available anywhere yet?

Don't plan on buying one but I'd like to compare one side-by-side w/a G10 P4 just to see what differences there are (apart from the obvious) between them.
 
Added to the Upcoming List in Post #1:

  • Dodo CPM-M4 Natural G-10 BladeHQ (USA)
  • Chaparral CTS-XHP White/Black G-10 (Taiwan)
 
Wow, that Dodo is going to make some people very happy. I'd love to get one but no way I could ever sharpen that blade!

Is the Chap all G10 of different colors?

On the upcoming Chaparral Sun/Moon G-10, one side is White with a Red circle (depicting the Sun) and the other side is Black with a Silver circle (depicting the Moon).

Congratulations to Spyderco for winning the Most Innovative American Design: Spyderco Para 3 Lightweight at the 2019 Blade Show.

Really?

Congratulations, however, while I love Spyders and own over 100 of them, someone please explain to me (and others) what exactly is "innovative" about putting FRN scales on a Para 3 and calling it "lightweight"?

The winners of the various categories of the Blade Show awards are voted on by their fellow exhibiting peers.

Spyderco did a good job incorporating their compression lock into FRN handles without large nested liners thus weighing an ounce less than the G-10 model.

“The Lightweight’s streamlined design includes a minimalist liner on one side of the blade’s pivot and a separate stainless steel lock bar. Both are firmly nested into molded cavities in the scales, which also include molded-in threaded inserts that anchor key assembly screws.”

Check out the April 2019 Spyderco Byte newsletter for more details including a good video by Eric Glesser.
