Most anticipated knife from the Amsterdam meet?
Most anticipated knife from the Amsterdam meet?
There have been years that I've not seen more than one or two blades to get excited about, but I am already saving for three.
I can't wait for the Chubby, man that thing just looks awesome! I never was a great fan of thick blades until I got the techno, I'm a convert. :D
It has all my favorite things, Ti, framelock, good blade steel, and a lanyard hole. I can't wait until someone mods one and puts moonglow in the holes...I'll be trying my hand at that.
Dogtag looks awesome. Kudos to Spyderco for teaming up with such innovative makers. I've never seen anything like it, and can't wait to try it out around my neck and on my keychain. (I never thought I would remove my ladybug...It's OK to have two knives on your keychain right? :D )
Finally is the ARK, I'm a big fan of H1 already. This one looks great, the aftermarket should have a field day with other scale options.
Thanks to Mr. Blonde for the photos and info. His yearly thread is always my favorite!
What are your favorite(s) from the meet?

Hi Mr gdwtvb!
- So far my clear favorite is the Chubby. By Far. I've known for a long time that the Techno-like Specs are simply the best for an EDC knife.
- The ARK seems a very handy little EDC fixed blade. Giving it's size and weight you can take it anywhere with you, and not only as a neck knife.
- The Dog Tag looks simply amazing. It's one of those that you just have to include in your collection, just for what it means as a knife design.
But keep in mind that Mr Blonde said that he still has like a dozen more knives to show next. :) And I really want to see the Spyderco version of the Marcin Slysz Bowie Folder! :cool:

The Gayle Bradley fixed blade in PSF-27 really caught my eye, and the dog tag looks sweet as well.

PSF27 hmmm... better than D2? less than CPM M4? PSF- Spray Forming Process?
If the ARK is only 2mm I will take one. I have soft spot for small fixed blades and neck knives.

PSF27 is like D2 on steroids. Slightly better toughness than M4, but with a little less edge retention (significantly better than D2, though!). I had a discussion with Gayle about it at Blade, and he was a big fan of the steel.bearfacedkiller wrote:http://sb-specialty-metals.com/grades/psf27

I wonder how it compares to CPM?

Like the chubby even though its ugly as sin. LOL
I really like the Schempp Bowie.. I think I am turning into a schempp fanboy ( man i want a khukuri)
That knife that looks like a folding swick i thought would have a wider blade..... so the edge starts mid finger if you get what I mean... I dont know its not what I hoped;

Picking the most anticipated knife is always difficult. It is hard to compare rough ideas that still need a lot of refining to full customs and to everything in between.
As I always fail to remember which models are in which stage of production I am also not quite sure which models can be discussed freely before Wouter shows the pictures.
For now my most anticipated knife is just another collaboration with a well known maker that has not been shown yet.

So far, the only one that's on my "will buy" list is the Kiwi 4, and that only because I have every other Kiwi variant. The clip and non-removable G-10 scales will probably keep me from wanting more than one.
