New 
Spyderco "Tracker" ?
Here is a a quote from Sal that was posted on <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> BladeForums regarding the <b>Trakk'r: </b>
<BLOCKQUOTE><font size=1 face=arial>quote:<hr height=1 noshade> Originally posted by Sal Glesser
<b>A G-10 Trakk'r with BG-42 would be a very expensive knife. Certainly $200+. Machining the pugs into the handle is very time consuming and cutter consuming.
The FRN version is 3D (instead of flat scales), has a nested compression lock and will retail for under $100. The pugs are black and the handle is green, as in the protos, but the FRN handle feels better in the hand because of the curves that Tim designed into the handle.
The targeted steel currently is VG-10. With a 6 - 8 month lead time for VG-10, it will probably be introduced with another steel before switching to VG-10.
The knife is designed for hunters, so we have to use something with good edge retention.

I'm definitely excited about this one! <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

You're welcome, Sal. Just doing my part! <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>
Pyrguy, you're right! I'll be picking up at least two trakk'rs.
