I need to know : WHO designed this one ?! The blade looks like a mini Barong ! LOVE IT !

Love the design but not the size. I'm hoping it's popular enough to justify other sizes.

Wouldn't be too surprised if Ed Schempp and Eric Glesser co-designed it, as with the Efficient family.

Handle reminds me of the Persian.

That design looks like Ed Schempp might have had something to do with it.

Nearly certain I handled and liked it at Blade Show. Certainly looks like Ed's influence, but I can't recall

Reminds me of a Kershaw Leek with a bigger belly.

This design deserves better materials ... they did the same with the Efficient

And with the Polestar / Alcyone https://www.spyderco.com/catalog/detail ... -Grey/1023:
Beautifull knives, I think even a change from BD1 to BD1N would make these more popular, and they´d deserve it!

G-10 is fine. 8Cr takes a wicked edge. 2.5mm blade thickness, good ergos, and a cheap street price -- what's not to like?

The blade thickness ("thinness") is the best amongst several good features. Hope it sets a trend away again from the "little fatties".. Can't see NO advantages in those despite maybe that it's a bit more comfortable to put a finger on a wider spine...

I am not picky but CPM-S45VN or even CPM-S35VN instead of 8Cr would make me a happy camper :p :D That's a sweet design and it deserves any better steel you want to throw in the mix I would say !

Out of all the knives in the Reveal, that's the one that's sticking with me the most.

Anyone have thoughts on the performance of Spyderco's 8Cr compared to other brands that use it?

The silhouette reminds me of a Kershaw Ener-G

Oooh..you've got something there. Might be why I like the look of it so much.

I like the design...but it's so smoooool

It speaks to me.

Probably going to get this one. Looks great

Love the size and design. Hope it becomes available in better steels.

I like the design of this one as well. It kind of reminds me of the Rookie because of the blade to handle ratio.
