Is the D'Allara going to be reworked with the caged ball-lock? I already believe it is one of the best in the line-up, and a caged ball would make it close to PERFECT.
If anyone has ever considered getting a D'Allara, don't think, DO IT!
I recall someone calling this one a real sleeper, and I wholeheartedly agree. :cool:
I agree totally. Though I don't EDC mine as much anymore since my Para Mili kicked it off the island. It still has about the best ergos of any knife Ive pocketed. I think the current lock is fine, but having not handled the caged lock, I cannot rule it out. It may very well kick the Para Mili off and take its place back in my pocket. Though I hear the Para Mili is supposed to get a caged ball, is this a rumor or is there some truth?
On another note. Having handled Spyderco's G10, I would like very much to see a D'Allara in G10. Is STR still doing G10? I though i heard somewhere that he won't work with it anymore. I might have to break out the dremel. :)

My D'Allara is one of my favorite Spydies. Its the smoothest one I have.
I absolutely love the look and function of the ball lock. Lock-up is like a bank vault. I personally would never cover up that shiny little orb :D
The D'Allara is definatley a sleeper. Excellent value for the money.
I think fully lined G10 would slim it down just right. :)
