View Full Version : Sal - Cricket with G-10
Sal, The Cricket is a fun and functional knife. I think many people would be iterested in different handle materials. It has been offered in: CF, Pink, Nylon and Alimite. How about: G-10, Bone, S/S, etc...
What do you guys and gals think. rr
P. S. - Post your approval to let sal know. rr
p.s. - post to this to get Sal's attention. rr

I agree. I think it would be awesome to have a s/s or even a black linen micarta cricket.
Maybe a cocobolo model for collectors, too.
I'll just keep dreaming....

Just thought of an obstacles to a G-10 Cicket
The G-10 might have to be thinner than that of the other G-10 models, or it would be much thicker than the FRN version.
On the Bright side, the design work is already taken care of by adaption of the CF version's design.

A Cricket with G-10, very nice.
In the land of knives, Spyderco is king.
Sal - I was talking to Vince at BladeArt.com. I really liked the Frank Recupero Crickets. I would not hesitate to spend that kind of money. would prefer Spyderco to come up with a more affordable option, many peole would collect them. Rico

I formally withdraw my request for a G-10 Cricket, instead, make the steel VG-10
How About we make the G-10 Cricket the forum Model. There should be little/no retooling involved, as the tooling from the CF crickets could be utilized.

<img src="tongue.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle> Pink would be ironic considering all of the recent interest!
I was thinking of blue. Not the lighter blue from the Native but a darker, navy blue. Burgundy works, too.

My dealer said he had 4 of them about a year or so ago.They sold fast what with this being(UT)big orange country and all.

For how much?
"So many knives, so little income"
A G-10 Cricket would be, for all intensive purposes, a new model. That means that another new model would have to be pushed out to make room for the G-10 Cricket.
When we are faced with such decisions, we have to consider the concept of "how many will we sell?" Will it pay for the tooling and prfomotion? Would it be BETTER to have than another new model? Some interesting thoughts.

They were 42.95 same as the pink ones.
Jeff
Sal - If I am correct G-10 can be produced in many colors. I think there is a large group wo would buy one of every color if not more. for instance I have
frn cricket - serrated
frn cricket - plain
almite cricket 2 serrated one plain
2 carbon fiber - serrated
2 pink - serrated
They make a great accessory or could change with ones mood. Rico
p.s. Sal if not g_10 how about different colors of frn (red, green, yellow, blue, etc..). rr

Hi Rico. We made samples of 8 diffeent colors of Crickets and showed them both in the 2000 and 2001 SHOT Shows. They received surprizingly very little attention from our dealers.

Too bad. Aren't crickets supposed to be green? <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

The real crickets here are black.
Jeff
J- Is this coming from a guy who just bought a "PINK" Cricket. In TEXAS our Crickets are brown.
Sal - Send me those colorful crickets and I will go around and generate interest. Maybe hardcore knifers are stuck on black, but I think if marketed correctly there would be interest. rr

I formally withdraw my entreaty for a G-10 Cricket if the steel in the normal cricket is changed to VG-10
