Just got back from the mini meet. Was great. Thanks Sal, Eric and Jur for the open and relaxed atmosphere. Really look forward to all of those new knives. Finally, thanks for the goodie bag, much appreciated.
Regards,
André

Back home after a great meet. Many thanks to Sal, Gail, Eric and Jur for making this possible and giving us a sneak peek at all the great knives Spyderco have been working on lately. I was especially caught by the Sage 3 and the italian-made Squeak. The bolt-action lock reminds me of Benchmade's AXIS lock (looks and 'interface'), but because of the totally different way it works, I find it to be a nicer lock. Spyderco found a way of creating a lock that works as easy as the AXIS lock, but without the disadvantages

Good job!

The Squeak got my attention as it was even smaller than the Urban, which for me was too small. However, the Squeak beautifully fit my hand, regardless of its smaller size. If this knife can be sold for a price of about 50-60 euros, this may be a best seller :)

Finally: the GOODIE BAG :D I expected an engraved bug, and a catalog, and maybe some things like a Bug or a pin, but I certainly did not expect to find a nice FRN UK Penknife. Many thanks to the Spyderco crew for a great day, and some great new goodies! :D

Had a great time.
It was like meeting friends.
All those snapping Spyderco locks, awesome.
Thanks guys.

It was a great day, and I was really charmed by the FRN UKPK Lightweight gift. That was very nice. This is an interesting high value knife, and when I arrived at home I immediately created a video review of it. Check it out, if you're interested!

Sad not to have made it to the mini meet. Am looking forwards to some infos about the Sage 3! Sounds like you guys had fun there.

I see they also put some drop-point versions in those goody bags too :) I'm more than happy with my leaf-shaped version though. Not really into the drop-point model, so I guess I got extra lucky. :D

WAIT TILL YOU SEE THE BLUE LEAF BLADE! :p

RIOT · #58

i really like that UKPK lightweight, i especially like the fact that it is not fully flat ground, it gives more eye candy on the blade itself & the handle has really good ergos too.

i hope i never HAVE to carry one but if the laws change it will be that one sofar.
