[SpydieZ]

I just got my balance from my the sfo and I'm shocked that there's no posts on it?! What's going on with you guys?!?!

[SpydieZ]

I would love to take one! Can some one fill me in on how to uplooad onto this forum with an iPhone? I feel so technology challenged it was an expensive knife but definitly worth it

[SmoothOne25]

is there jimping on both sides or just on bottom?

i heard since it wont "look" equal when closed they decided against it. then i heard they would add it to both sides.

[ozspyder]

I don't have one yet... but as soon as my PP balance comes up again I will be asking to order one or two :p

[SmoothOne25]

proto pics had just the under side

While I like the looks of it, I have other spydies on the list I would want to get before the balance.

[SpydieZ]

No it does not have jimping of the choil. But I did notice it isn't perfectly symetrical but veryyy close

[The General]

Not my cup of tea really.

[RIOT]

im totally excited about that knife but im saving my funds for a different Spyderco right now, hopefully ill pick one up later.

you are the first ive heard of that has one though

[jabba359]

Too expensive for what it is IMO. SS version might be more to my budget's liking. I'm in the same boat as RIOT; I have my budget going towards other upcoming Spyderco knives.

[Mr Blonde]

I'm quite excited about it, me and a few other spyderknuts have been trying to convince Sal to put it into production ever since we saw the first concept model. I'll definitely get the first version, if I can get my hands on one.

Why am I not excited? Three words - wrong handed lock.

[chuck_roxas45]

I am not interested because I think that the configuration is beat hands down by hawkbill in usefulness. To be sure it is a unique knife configuration and will probably be sought for eagerly by afis.

When I first saw the prototype I was excited. It is a very nice looking knife. Two things turned me off:

1. The price - for me it's more that I would want to spend for what this knife offers, and

2. The knife appears to be extremely small. This was not apparent until I saw photos of one in a user's hand. For me, it would be more of a novelty item than something I would use.

Again, I think it is one of the cooler-looking designs that Spyderco has offered. I just don't have a place for it in my collection.

[SUDS]

Sweet Can't wait for some reviews and pics. I was really excited about this knife until I found out the price. So if I do decide to get one ill hold off for the SS version.

[The Mastiff]

I like Ed's work but I can't find a real excuse to buy an under 2 inch bladed knife with a cutting edge of around 1.25 inches.

It looks well made and ergonomic though.

[J32A2]

Wow, did not realize how small it is!!

[ChrisR]

I'd love one but it is quite expensive and there are too many other things I'd like :)
