Got my preorder in a while back, I'm stoked for this one! It replaced the Tuff for me, since that one got completely ruined by those stupid golf ball dimples(seriously, that one little change turned an amazing looking work of utilitarian art into something that looks like a $5 gas station knife, arr...

I've been anxiously waiting for this one, I love the size, and the design. I'm a bit concerned about the G-10 being smooth, however. Hopefully, this example is just a prototype, and the production version will have high quality (meaning highly textured, high traction) G-10. This beautiful knife is a...

A g-10 Delica would be ok, I might buy one (ok, I would for sure), but a g-10 Endura would be mine sooo fast!

I'm loving this design a lot! I guess it will replace the Tuff for me, since they ruined it with those ridiculous, cheap-looking golf ball scales! But, I digress, sorry! Anyways, I'm not generally a fan of recurves at all, but I like this knife so much, that I don't care. Plus, its a prety mild recu...

Beautiful fish, beautiful pics, beautiful knife! Just beautiful all around. I need to go fishing real soon, it's been way too long, unfortunately. That butterfish looks perfectly cooked too, great job!

The dimples ruined what was possibly my most anticipated Spyderco ever. They make an otherwise awesome knife look cheap & cheesy as ****. I'm extremely dissapointed & will not buy one unless they come out with a dimple-less version (I would prefer the original diamond design, but even plain ...

Done and done. I greatly appreciate the fact that Spyderco seeks our feedback on topics like this. I love having hard copys of catalogs, I keep them all so I can peruse them anytime I feel the need. I also use the pdf versions as well, but I would be very dissapointed if the hard copies were no long...

The more I see it, the more I love it! I mostly prefer buffer knives, 3.5 - 4" are perfect for me, if done right (my ZT 0560 hasn't left my pocket for months....). That being said, I love this little tank of a knife! Thanks for your thought and the pics, Brian. I especially love how you pointed...

MCM, weird question, but what kind of pants are those in that pic of the knife in pocket? I really like the way the pocket is cut, that nearly horizontal section almost looks as if it was designed specifically for a pocket knife to ride there...

Ok, so I want to apologize to Sal & company, that last post turned out a little (ok, a lot)more harsh than I intended it to. I am dissapointed in the re-design of the Tuff's handle scales, don't get me wrong, but Spyderco does waaaay more things right than wrong, by a huge margin. I love so many...

Love the Szabo and the Ulize. I was really in love with the Tuff for sooooo long, until they changed an amazing & original handle scale to those stupid-looking golfball, pimple/dimple atrocities! They are so cheap looking! I was really hoping they would change them back, due to all the negative ...

A G-10 Stretch, a G-10 Stretch, & a G-10 Stretch, please! Any color (well, almost any color!), & any good steel will do! A super steel would be nice(like M390, CTS-XHP, M4, Elmax, etc.), but I will take any Stretch in G-10, seriously, Sal, i mean it! Please? Pleeeeeease??!?! Don't make me be...

****, I've really been digging the Persians lately, & this thread is not gonna help my wallet! I might have to pull the trigger on one now! I know many might feel this is sacrilidge(maybe even you, Mr. Schempp, sorry!), but I really wish it had jimping. Especially with the perfect thump ramp tha...

It seems there's a lot of resistance to changing the charateristic blade shape. Having said that, if the blade shape were to remain the same, my ideas for a sprint would be based off the carbon fiber platform, not the FRN. Briefly: 1. Foliage Green G10 w/ VG10 blade to match Delica, Endura, Dragonf...

Ok, I didn't read the whole thread, so I didn't see that only the Japanese steels are in play. Bummer. In that case, I actually think the two steels it already comes in (VG-10 & ZDP) are the best choices. Just don't muck with the blade shape please! If a G-10 version comes out with a different b...

If you change the blade shape, it is no longer a Stretch, it's some new model, so it should have a totally different name. I really do want to see some Stretch sprints, however, especially one with a G-10 handle, & some different steels (CTS-XHP, Elmax, M4, maybe?), maybe even a compression lock...

This will be my first year going & I can't wait! I'm really looking forward to checking out some of the awesome new Spydie protos, like the Southard flipper, Tuff, new Starmate(yesssss!), & many others! Also looking forward to the chance to meet Sal, Eric, Ed Schempp, etc, just, wow! The har...

Here I go, ressurecting an old thread. Probably not necessary, but I have been looking for one of these ever since you posted this,Bird, so thanks! I had seen & heard of the Street Bowie before, & liked the looks of it, but for some reason your review & pics made me fall totally in love ...

I preorderd this one a while back & then promptly forgot all about it. Yesterday, I got am email letting me know my card didn't go through(I preorderd with a card I don't even have any longer, oops)! Bec,ause of that, I actually considered just letting it go, maybe just getting a regular version...

Ok, so I said I only had one gripe(those dimples are awful! Pleeease change it before production guys, the Tuff went from #1 on my list to off it completely), but I guess I was wrong. My eyegasms over al the new hotness made me miss a couple of things. Namely, that awful old-school clip on the Tuff ...
