POLE! Best IWA Prototype...

[Killdozer]

Sorry only one vote each and I thinned out the options bit... which knife are you most excited about:
Chicago
Chockwe
Leafstorm
Rocklobster
Ti Sage
FRN Stretch
Manix II

[Bluntrauma]

I voted for the FRN Stretch.

[Sherpa]

Everyday I look in the morning and at night to see if the Rocklobster is out or any news!

[TexSierra]

I vote for the Carbon-Fiber Kopa myself.

[jezabel]

I voted for the stretch, but i know I'll end up with 5 out of the 6 listed :rolleyes:

[Gibsoniam]

I voted Leafstorm...

...but the so far no-vote Chicago was my second pick, and third goes to the RIL Sage 2.

[Netsquash]

Since their was only one option I had to pick manix 2, but the Sage 2 and Leafstorm were very close in 2nd and 3rd for me.

[SoCal Operator]

Temperance 2. :D I voted for the Ti Sage. Of the knives listed, it's the one I'm most likely to get.

[gull wing]

None of the above. I vote for the CAT.

[Netsquash]

None of the above. I vote for the CAT.

I feel bad that both the Chicago and Cat are not getting votes. Although they are not the most anticipated for me I also want both of them. It really is difficult to pick a single knife from this list.

[Killdozer]

I left a few out, the Cat, the Urban Rescue, Kopas... that just didn't seem to garner the attention of the above knives. I almost left the stretch out, but it has a ton of fans and I figured it would do well.
My list:
1. Chockwe: Its the square Chinese Folder, pretty open or closed, but instead of all curves its all angles. Nice work Sal!
2. Manix II: Tough. I would love to see the lock on more knives.
3. Leafstrom: I am a little iffy on this one, I love the looks and clear G10, but I am starting to get into thinner knives. I love the my Khukuri, its changing the way I look at my knife collection.
4. Ti Sage: I may not get it (i have the carbon version), but I love Ti and the stainless steel spyderco seems to hold up the best over time. This is the knife will have the perks of the SS knives without the weight penalty.

All this Ti makes me a little afraid of the prices of these knives. Well I am not afraid... but my wallet should be!

I agree, it makes me sad that I can't afford them all. I still love it though and I really really really want the new sage because of it. It would be the perfect upgrade for my large EDC knife. It has everything I want and more in the design.

All that carbon fiber worries me too, the cat, the chicago, the kopa. It is overloading my senses with anticipation. It actually makes me want to retire my SS Dragonfly for one of those :eek:

[Mr.Sparkitle]

I voted for the leafstorm because i feel its going to be the begining of a very nice new trend in spyderco knives, but i am looking forward to the Manix II out of all the knives in the list.

STRETCH!!!
The Cat and Chicago look great too. Was hoping for a little something different from the G-10 D'fly. Perhaps the production model will be a bit different.

[tkdman41]

I voted Rock Lobster only because I couldn't vote for Rock Lobster, Chokwe, and Manix 2.

[MCM]

I voted Chockwe.

Not sure my Stretch II's will ever be beat by another Stretch....... :D

And have about enough 3" and under blades already that don't get used / carried much. :rolleyes:

So....... its the Chockwe for me........

[Jay_Ev]

It seems there was a slight oversight. There has been a LOT of interest in the G10 Dragonfly. If that knife was included in the poll, I have a feeling there would be some very different results.

[spoonrobot]

I voted for the FRN Stretch. :)

[buglerbilly]

I haven't voted for any...........I like then ALL! :D

AND will buy them all...........

Regards,

BRIAN

[Jazz]

I can't wait for the FRN Stretch!! :eek: :D

- best wishes, Jazz.
