The "Ask Nathan a Question" Thread

There is an interesting discussion over on the Spyderco forum right now regarding 3V. A bit of a campaign to get more knives in 3V, especially folding ones. Nathan, your name came up, along with Shawn and Larran as well. What would it take to get the ultimate 3V folding knife collab going? Have you talked to Sal about this? Seems like it could be a possibility and a good match, given that both entities are interested in operating in the higher blade performance envelope.

Too many people are missing out on what 3V is capable of, and it is being underutilized in the folding world.

I almost mentioned this too, I was definitely tooting the CPK horn!
 
I think if Spyderco did a collaboration with Nathan, (which would be great for both parties, IMHO), they would need to build something with a robust tip like some of the models that have been built in the Taichung plant over the years. The most recent U.S. built one with a stouter tip than most is the Shaman, as far as my recent recollection. I haven't been keeping up with newer models much.

Yep, you are probably thinking of knives like the Techno, Swayback, Stovepipe, etc...

In addition to the heat treat protocol, maybe Nathan could inform the discussion on the grind as well, so that we end up w/ a thicker tip.
