I also asked what the codes mean in that thread and didn't get a response: :)

At one point didn't we all theorize it was likely the machine, person that produced that blade?

I know Paul likes his automatics so why not an Autonomy with a plain edge in stainless steel That'd be swell, and only a few people from a couple of states could buy it. I'm going to respectfully disagree with you sir. More states in the US allow private ownership of automatic or switchblade knives...

The first run is flat G-10. I like to test designs with slab models before tooling for FRN. The ultimate production model is planned for textured FRN with a slight contour. This will begin once the design and any glitches are sorted. sal Sounds like I need to grab a few "first run" ones t...

I was not aware of the contouring, looks sweet. Will the new one have similar contouring, or flat g10? Great post by the way, sorry to sidetrack with something slightly off topic. The original's contoured 3-D handles gave some of the best, most positive grip and retention out there. They were perfe...

Great bump Matt. Great presentation and pics as well. sal Thank you Sir. I can't wait to get the new one in my hands. The slimmer G10 and wire clip are going to make this an amazing EDC knife once folks find it. I think Officer D'Allara would be as proud of the 3 as I'm sure he is of his original n...

Yes! We've all read the 2017 Product Guide and the D'Allara 3 (C82GP3) has finally become a reality. I'm bumping this so that newcomers to the D'Allara model can read about the origins of this long-treasured and beloved model line. New stats for #3 include a ceramic ball bearing lock now, textured G...

So, for the purposes of discussion, what do you think the purpose of a business? Naturally I have my own opinions, which I will share, but I'm curious as to what you think? sal Sal, I personally feel that a business is an organism that goes through a full life-cycle: -Initially a fledgling business...

I think a PE Citadel or Embassy might be the closest you'll get for a while Evil, unfortunately. I fully agree with you, I love the designs Spyderco has put out in the Auto category.

Bodog, You are certainly entitled to your opinion. Spyderco's vast and diverse model lineup is designed to satisfy as many vast and diverse tastes as possible. Mr. Schempp's designs are meant to capture the form, function and spirit of ethnic designs. Although not all hit home for me, the Bowie, Tuf...

SEF,

Have you read Prey by Michael Crichton? Molecular assemblers can have a dark side too . Living close to Golden, I don't know how I feel about 820 Spyderco Way being destroyed in a cautionary tale of achieving too far too fast lol. :p

Owning the translucent blue LWT Manix 2, I think the stronger colours are liable to be better sellers- The yellow and the pink look a bit washed out to my (entirely subjective) eye. They're washed because of my poor editing skills. I make the rainbow colors strong because I liked them that way. I'm...

Here I am, bumping another thread. I'm reading in the 2017 product guide that a 2017 coin is planned, but it seems we've skipped 2016. Some of us collectors with OCD are gonna have a hard time with that :( So for those of us that are avid coin collectors, or avid Spyderco memorabilia collectors or e...

I couldn't agree more. I am an unapologetic D'Allara fan-boy, and will continue to be forever. Until the new one is released, I'll grow my original C82 collection. I truly hope the new one gets the same attention as the old one's did, but I'm a little worried about the non-sculpted 3D handles. I gue...

Clear/translucent isn't everyone's cup of tea. I respect the Deacon's opinion on the subject, and I'm sure that the traditionalists will pass on any clear/translucent or candy-colored scales. Since the mold is already made, though, I would think Spyderco could diversify their offerings with some col...

Old thread lol. No worries here, I ended up finding one. I'd always grab a 93mm in black if I get the chance but for now I got a user in the smaller version and love it as an EDC.

Should the Autonomy be made with a more pointed blade tip or not? I think this is one of the best knives, and best autos made. It would be fantastic to see it in more blade styles and maybe color options. I thought that at one point in the looooong discussion we had about this knife during its deve...

I'm always in for another Manix 2 sprint. Not sure what steels/G10 colors would be left though....but my dream Manix would be:

3V or 4V steel in a sniper grey textured G10 :D

I watched that auction to see if he won but it was hard to tell. The bidding on that knife only went up to $265.00. That's one of the lowest prices I've seen a WTC D'Allara EVER go for. I think it was a combination of the seller being in Israel with no other knives for sale, and the apparent scratch...

Can't see the pics anymore. Southard fakes are definitely all over.

Thanks for this brother! I though they had all passed me by and I had given up on paying a fair price for one. This keeps my HAP40 set complete. Even SSK's prices are higher than some others (BHQ was like $70?), plus no free shipping :-(

Oh well, I'm still glad I got one now.
