The Dodo 2019
Re: The Dodo 2019
I couldn't resist some Dodo goodness! Would love to see just about any sprint for it! Would be cool to see some combos we've seen on other sprints too, Jade, Dark Green, etc. Blurple S110 would be awesome. Hard to go wrong. Probably a steel with the best possible edge retention since it's not an easy knife to sharpen.

Adding a matching Poliwog would be sweet too.
Re: The Dodo 2019
OK Spydernut I've thought about this and maybe you're on to something >> if they would also do a 600 lot of them in Spyderedge you can count me in. Because I want a Dodo in a blade steel different than S30V and I also want a new Spyderedged version of the Dodo as well. This idea of yours may indeed kill two birds with one stone>> metaphorically speaking of course :rolleyes:SpyderNut wrote:How about dark green canvas Micarta and stonewashed CTS-XHP? 600 in Plain Edge and 600 in SpyderEdge would be fantastic.

Because Cold Steel has done a serrated Hawkbill in that steel and I've heard nothing but good about it. We all need to get on the same page and maybe the Great Spyder Factory will hear our request :)
Oh I also like your idea of the canvas Micarta but I could settle for a high grade of G-10. OK let the show begin :cool:
Re: The Dodo 2019
The dark green micarta sounds good (green g-10 does too). As for steel my first choices would be ZDP, Hap 40, m4, Superblue, S90V, s110v, or maxamet. XHP wouldn't be a deal breaker for me though (looking forward to trying it out when I get my Rhino :D )

Re: The Dodo 2019
I'd be in for Micarta and XHP! Sounds awesome. Could even go for a spyderedge also!

Re: The Dodo 2019
I’d only be interested in a FRN Dodo in an affordable steel like BD1. Even at that, it makes for an expensive linoleum knife, IMO. The design seems to be meant for hard use and I cannot see myself buying it as a safe queen or thrashing a boutique knife. YMWLV*

Re: The Dodo 2019
I am extremely excited about any variation of this model.

Re: The Dodo 2019
I wouldn't mind having a plain edged Dodo in S110V but I'm not so sure how it would fare in Spyderedge. But in XHP with both edge types I could live with. I think it would satisfy a lot of people to see it return in both edge types and with some steel other than S30V :rolleyes:ZrowsN1s wrote:The dark green micarta sounds good (green g-10 does too).

But a PE Dodo in S110V is a really cool idea. Boy that would be a monster to keep sharp though :eek:

Re: The Dodo 2019
Is this real? I bloody hope so, that'd be a dream come true
Re: The Dodo 2019
It's still a dream at this point, but I hope it will be a dream come true. If enough people are interested (and vocal about it )Scoop-o-chips wrote:Is this real? I bloody hope so, that'd be a dream come true
It's a very unique design, when I first saw it, I must admit I didn't think it was for me... But over the last few years slowly but surely the design began to call my name. I see the utility and function in the design now, and would very much like to add it to the collection.FX sniper wrote:The Spyderco Dodo is not just a knife, it´s like Knife Art.

Re: The Dodo 2019
The Dodo model is not only Knife Art but it is without a doubt one of the most unique EDC folders I've ever encountered. When I got my very first Dodo all the way back in 2004 I really thought of it as only a unique "collector piece" or even a novelty type knife for that matter. But one week I decided to carry one every day for a week and I was absolutely blown away at how good the Dodo performed. And I was using my blue PE model.FX sniper wrote:The Spyderco Dodo is not just a knife, it´s like Knife Art.
If I were to use another Dodo model for EDC I would opt for the Spyderedged version this next go-around. But both edge types are extremely versatile for a blade as short as the blade on the Dodo is.
I'm still wondering what a larger scale, bigger overall sized Dodo model would be like. I just know in my gut that a Larger Dodo would even be better yet. The heck with 2019>> I want to see this happen in this year 2018>> the sooner the better and in both edge types this time :cool:
Re: The Dodo 2019
I'd love to see one in 2018 too, I'm just being realistic about the timeline. These things take time :D

Re: The Dodo 2019
Yeah you got a point there>> but with the Dodo model I do believe that you would get a lot more than just average support for a new rendition of that model. You wouldn't believe what a couple of guys have offered me for my "user blue PE Dodo". Of course I turned them down but I was astonished that both offers exceeded $150 :eek: Not to mention that some of those earlier Dodo models had decent heat treatments on them. And I'm not an S30V fan at all which is why I would like to see a new Dodo with a new blade steel>> and I know I'm not alone on that one.ZrowsN1s wrote:I'd love to see one in 2018 too, I'm just being realistic about the timeline.

But another Spyderedged Dodo is a MUST!! Because I'm just not going to pay $200+ for an older S30V SE Dodo. I'll wait to see if I can get lucky in the pawn shops before I cave in to that.
Re: The Dodo 2019
Well I heard more than one person mention the idea again this week so I thought I'd bump my old thread and ask, is it time for a Dodo Sprint? :D

Re: The Dodo 2019
BHQ in jade! Lol. I’m not over jade despite many feeling that way.
I’d probably go for green micarta/XHP though even more!

Re: The Dodo 2019
I would take one without a doubt! It would be incredible if the spyderco guys did it, definitely one would come home, on the materials S110v would not be bad for me but in reality I do not have a preference
Re: The Dodo 2019
I'll be in by then.
