Those photos of the Paysan are pretty convincing!

Yes, this. So, so close. Bummer indeed.MichaelScott wrote: ↑Wed Mar 07, 2018 3:10 pmPhillips. Lovely. If the blade was 0.04” shorter it would be Colorado legal. Bummer.

Re: Spyderco Amsterdam Meet 2018 Report
I didn’t even know that you had blade length restrictions over there. I wonder how it would look with a stubby blade regrind. 1cm can make a big difference in the look of a knifeHank Scorpio wrote: ↑Wed Mar 07, 2018 3:50 pmYes, this. So, so close.

Edit: 1mm not 1cm should be very easy to regrind down to make it legal

Spyderco 2018 Production Sample - Marcin Slysz Techno 2
The Techno 1 is, to me, a wonderfully quirky design. That massive overbuilt little beast still cuts like many much more ‘dainty’ knife designs. The Techno 2, was noticeably thinner. Although I appreciate the new blade profile and bright green anodized stand-offs, I’m not sure yet I like the thinner profile. Since these changes come from customer requests, for the custom version mind you, so I’m in the minority here.
Specifications
Overall Length: 15,1 cm / inches

Re: Spyderco Amsterdam Meet 2018 Report
Fair point, might have to consider that.
On another note, as a Slysz afi, the Techno 2 is an auto buy for me. I actually like having a version with a thinner stock, and switching to green standoffs is a nice touch.

The contoured scale had me scratching my head, then I noticed the pivot.

Everything about the Techno2 is an improvement over Techno1 including thinner blade, grind, lighter, standoffs instead of backspacer and hardened steel lock bar insert.

That Alistair Phillips folder might be the sleekest, sexiest knife I’ve ever seen Spyderco make.
If I can get my hands on one, I will.

Re: Spyderco Amsterdam Meet 2018 Report
True. That is a small amount of material. My understanding is the state statutes define a knife as a concealed weapon if the blade length is over 3.5” and it is not visible when carried. If a knife is clipped to a pocket, for example, that might not apply. I will do some research on that. Certainly you will be legal in Colorado with a honking big sheath knife strapped to your belt. Might raise eyebrows in Boulder and clause a few people to faint from fear but I believe knives worn openly are state legal.Cubane wrote: ↑Wed Mar 07, 2018 3:58 pmI didn’t even know that you had blade length restrictions over there.

Liking smaller folding knives I’d say the Techno 2 would be an ideal heavier use EDC. I like it.
