I'm an admirer of Spyderco's designs. Using them is like immersing yourself in music or studying a painting in a museum. I buy some "fine" art but my preference is for usable art.
Me too. I haven't had a great desire to get one of the heavy duty :spyder: s, but I would definitely buy a TopTac.Outlaw wrote:TopTac, I want one! :cool:

Hey All, I would love to see either the Gentlebug II or the TOPTAC. I would prefer the TOPTAC. :D :cool:
God Bless :)

This should be fun to watch 
How's 2008 sound? That's how long it will probably take to get a good consensus :p
I choose "other" as mentioned in the other thread. I just love being difficult :D

My picks
I voted for the Gentlebug. I like the black handles and agree with spydutch that g-10 is the way to go. Also, I perfer the compression lock.
My second choice is the Prowler.

I voted for the gentlebug!! I have been wanting the TopTac, but I went back and checked out his designs again, I voted for the Gentlebug!

Hi everybody. First, let me tell you how surprised (in a most enjoyable way, of course) I am of your interest in my work. A big Thank You to you all, and to those who make this community possible (aka Sal & co). Hopefully, if the Adventura will have a decent success, Sal will consider other of my designs too :o But since we are here, nothing stops us to start our quest for "Thee Knife".
We are in the dream stage, so for now there are no limits. You want a Prowler with compression lock and clip point blade? Or maybe an oversized Gentlebug? Ask and you shall be given :)
So far, the Toptac is similar to the Military in size and materials. It features a compression lock, with skeletal nested liners.
The Prowler is close to the Adventura in size, also with a compression lock (we can change it to a modified ball lock a la "Pickle" if you like). It features a FRN handles also with minimal liners.
The Gentlebug is a small knife with a big hole. Dimensionally speaking, it is somewhere between a Cricket and a Dragonfly. The one I'm preparing for Spyderco has an integral compression lock. The blade is in full flat grind, 2.5 mm thick (we can change it to 2 mm if you want a slicer, or to 3 mm if you want to abuse the little one).
The Pioneer is close to the Native in size, and I think it feels comparably in the hand. It features the "obsolete" :rolleyes: lockback, but I wanted it to have a vintage look, so I couldn't put something else. I presume many like it because of the stag, Damascus and bolsters, so I present you and alternative as well: an alternative:
