Any new news about the Szabo folder??
Any new news about the Szabo folder??
I currently have money set aside for the Szabo Folder. I was wondering about maybe when the blade might be on the market, what blade steel, and prehaps a ball-park price range?
Inlighten me, Please. Thanks

That's the designer's philosophy camokid. Anyway, if a handle is well designed it locks into your hand. All the jimping in the world won't make a badly designed handle better.camokid wrote:I was also surprised about the lack of jimping. Is there a logical explanation about the lack of jimping on a "defensive blade".

Hopefully if it's made in Taiwan In s30v it'll be sub 200$ street price...
+1 to that Chuck!!!chuck_roxas45 wrote:That's the designer's philosophy camokid. Anyway, if a handle is well designed it locks into your hand. All the jimping in the world won't make a badly designed handle better.

We sure are a spoiled lot when it comes to steels. :DTsujigiri wrote:****, I was hoping for something better. Funny thing is, before I started buying Spyderco's, S30V was a sought after premium steel for me.
And Sal and company are to blame.

I'm going to wait until it hits the market before I make a judgement call. I think Cf is neat and makes a knife a little less tacticool at times. I know that the knife is designed as a SD knife, but it can't hurt it to be somewhat classy can it?

I tell you what. This folder is the one I am really looking forward to the most this year. The Navaja running a close second. It is funny, because I typically feel like most folders are made for nevermind politically correct(Not lawfully!)reasons, but small handed people! Was kind of beginning to move away from folders in general..........honestly! :rolleyes:
Spyderco grabs Laci Szabo, a big guy with big mits and has him design a folder.......well finally a normal folder for above normal size guys! Oh the thing reaks of SD applications!
I am sure it may have been due to the designer, but I must say, I was surprised this one did not have a 4 way clip.......just saying. Not to start the whole tip up/down thing again.
I held one of the proto's back at blade 08 and was impressed then. After seeing a new Vid of the current proto........It really got the old juices flowing. One of the few for the big guys! :D Take care all and God Bless!
