I just recently picked up a GB. I have had the GB on my want list for a long while now, but just had never pulled the trigger. I must say that i know understand why everyone goes bananas about this knife. The knife is very clean, elegant and super comfortable. When i first opened the box i said, meh...

That is one sexy knife right there! I really like that scale!

This Sprint is SUPER light in the hand. The knife is so light that it almost feels like it will fall apart when used. I almost didnt buy the knife when it came out, but at the time a dealer had a collector version and sold it to me for cost. I'm glad i jumped on it! It is part of my carry rotation. JD

Mine arrived a few days ago. The lockup is very close to 50%. I am happy with that! The detent seems normal to me. I didn't notice anything weak or excessive at all. They pulled a neat trick on the liner lock. They call the liner lock is flush. When i think flush, i think Navaja; Both liners, both s...

I really like this new theme. Very easy on the eyes!

I have a Tuff and i love it. one of my favorites. I love the looks, the blade angle, and the handle comfort. It's one of Schempps finest in my opinion, however not many people share my opinion. If you generally like Schempp designs then you will probably love this one.

I had to snag a Tatanka. I have zero use for this knife but i figured it would look really nice sitting next to my XL Espada. I was right, it looks very nice. Big manley knives :D

I have learned to trust all Schempp designs. :) No matter how they might look in a picture they all seem to be very comfortable once in hand.

They just got posted on our favorite lolly-pop vendor's site :D
Mine is just ordered!

LOVE the video. Thank you Mr. Janich.

Wow! There are some nice designs here. I noticed that many of these aren't VG-10. As long as it stays that way then i am good!
LOVE the Frontier! Schempp is the man!

I love the Tuff. I wish it got more credit because it certainly deserves it. Chances are people don't carry it because they can't flick it open or close it with one hand. It's called the Tuff for a reason. If it was easy then it would have been called The Easy. LOL

The Chokwe is a pretty sweet knife. If i didn't already own one I'd be all over this deal!

The current Civilians are tip-up and tip-down.

I just love the lines of this knife. I am soooo getting one.

JD

I don't have a GB yet. It is only my list. I do have a Tuff and i love it. The knife is just wicked! Even the looks of it turns heads. Chances are you will end up buying both :D

For me the only item of interest is the Hungarian. This is going to be a very inexpensive year for me. Maybe now i can pick up the few Spydies that i have missed from the last few years. <shrug>

Thanks for the heads-up. I, too, have gone to CS in the past, but only for regular releases. I was unaware that CS was now taking advantage of Spyderco afis. I'll need to bear that in mind. It's not only Spyderco Sprints that they do this to. They also do this to Benchmade Gold class. I only use CS...

Although I hope to never use it for its intended purpose, I want a knife that opens one-handed and FAST. The spring gizmo makes me wonder about this. I am looking for something in the 4-1/2 to 5 inch range. I can understand your concerns with the Szabo. I was letdown with the feeling of the mechani...

I love almost all of Schempp's designs. I too am looking for a Barong. Hopefully one day i will score one. <fingers crossed>
