Spyderco Air Suspense Building! Any Updates?
Hey all,
I am really excited for the Bradley Air. I really want to see that twill CF close up, and the blade size and steel are perfect for me.
I feel like i've been waiting for much longer than I had expected.
What's the hold up? Any predictions on when we will see them in stock? I see stock photos on certain websites that generally post them within a few months of their release. That pic has been there for what seems like an eternity at this point.
Anyone hear anything? I have been away from the Spydie forum since I had to (sadly) sell off a large portion of my collection. I tried a search, but found little to nothing about the AIR
Thanks,
Aaron

Agree to disagree. IMO a wire clip would perfect this knife. But then I CAN'T carry a knife in my pocket. I've tried and it just isn't my thing.DeathBySnooSnoo wrote:I just hope that the delay isn't them deciding to add a clip...that would just plain old suck.
But I think you're safe, brother. Your vision, not mine is what we'll get. My guess is they are working on a pouch.

Well if they are not adding one now, Sal has said that they are at least looking at it for the future, so we will hopefully both end up happy. :Dkbuzbee wrote:Agree to disagree.

I've been a pocket carry guy for a long time, even since I was in Scouts and had my old Barlow. I am ok with a clip on most knives, but this one I think is far better without. Just the style and design of the knife IMO makes it a pocket or pouch rather than clip carry knife.

I too have carried in a pocket for years - before clips but lost a lot of knives that way. They often would fall out of loose front pockets when I sat down or was active. I wish my old Swiss Army had a clip just so I would not have to worry about it falling out. When I wear jeans pocket carry is normally not a problem but so often any more I am wearing cargo style pants or shorts.
I remember Gayle saying it would have one then Sal saying it was a problem and they didn't want to delay the knife for it, and yes, possibly in a future run/model.DeathBySnooSnoo wrote:Well if they are not adding one now, Sal has said that they are at least looking at it for the future, so we will hopefully both end up happy. :D
I guess we'll see but I really doubt it, at least on the initial run.

Count me in as one of the guys who is impatiently awaiting the release of the Air. I could go either way on the clip issue with this knife. On one hand I think it would ruin the clean lines of the knife but on the other hand I love a good clip on a knife just for the handiness factor.
God Bless

I'm in either way but can easily picture a nice Dragonfly sized, deep carry, polished wire clip on this little beauty.

I woud like to see a lanyard hole too, but I think they want to keep this as a modern gentalman's folder. No clip, no lanyard, just classy and sharp.Spygineer wrote:Anyone know if there are plans to put a lanyard hole?
Why did you guys have to post that picture!??!! Now i'm drooling even more.
The small, high-end blades that Spyderco makes are always my favorite. I don't generally use blades larger than 3" for EDC. I use larger blades for camping or doing heavy tasks in the yard. The Caly, The G10 Dragonfly, etc. are my favorites, and this one falls in line with those in terms of size and quality. Clip or no clip, I don't even care. I just really want a wharnie in my collection :)
Anyway, I am waiting with great anticipation so please hurry it up Spyderco.

I'm also eagerly awaiting the Air. And here's another vote for keeping it clip-less (just for aesthetics). But has anyone who has a Kiwi handled the Air at knife shows? Concept-wise, they seem pretty similar, although I realize they're very different given steel, handle scales, locks, and the Kiwi's choils. But I'm wondering how they feel in hand compared to each other.
