That’s great news. I can’t wait to see what you’ve come up with.

Dear Sal and Dear Doc,

i bought a rare Baby Horn Sprint Run these days.
It's different from the other Spydercos i own but also the Roadie is.
Supposing it whouldn't have a lock and a more Wharnie blade.......

What do you think?

[Doc Dan]

ASF, that might be interesting. I like the narrower pointy blade in that knife. Just the thing for carving fall pumpkins.

a classic slipjoint blade profile with spyderco twist which is very fitting in my opinion. I like that too.

Thanks! that is a great looking model. How is the fit and finish on yours?

I would buy a slipjoint in that pattern in a heart beat.

Hi Doc,

the finish is very good.
It also fits good for a small knife, but one hand opening is a little tricky because its so slim i think.
A DFY or Lil'Native performs better whith one hand.

I also whould prefer a less pointed tip.
A roadie styled blade whould be nice.

But this whould be another knife, maybe the Roadie 2.
I love the Baby Horn too.

I would also be very curious :spyder:

Very interesting thread. I'll have to pick up a roadie now thanks guys. I love the slipit designs so far and think this is moving in the right direction.

You will not regret it.
Great design from Sal and good work from Italy with Austrian Steel :D

I’m very interested in this topic, I’ve grown more fond of slippeies, I also love that we get to interact with the company and it’s employees on this level. Very cool to see. I would certainly be interested in something from Spyderco along these lines. I like the idea of a sub 3” blade, 2.6+ seems right as stated, a wire clip fits well. I don’t have a blade shape preference per say. I will be watching this. Very cool to see the conversation unfold.

[Doc Dan]

The Roadie is my favorite small knife.

[Stoney87]

A quick sketch. I like a little shape to the top of a sheep’s footie type blade.

[Doc Dan]

Bumping this up----Sal, any news on your Roadie 2/XL design?

[austrian_spyder_fan]

Stoney i love your draft.
The straight back line and the blade shape are awesome.

[Doc Dan]

Sal must be on vacation. I've not seen him here for a while.

Sal, when you surface, let us know if there are any updates on this knife, please.

Hi Doc,

I have a few drawings. I'm working remote right now. Thanx for the tickle, I'll pull them out.
