Yup.
Sprint Vallotton?
Re: Sprint Vallotton?
So, I thought the Vallotton was discontinued but I see it in the catalogue?
Re: Sprint Vallotton?
I hate to say it, because I'd rather have a nice stainless, but 4V makes a lot of sense for a Vallotton...
Vallotton Vivacious(Vivacity?) in Ivory micarta...
There are even four Vs in there!
I think it is the perfect name for a sleek and sexy auto, with a hidden switch.
Vivacious: (especially of a woman) attractively lively and animated.
It's just too perfect.

Re: Sprint Vallotton?
The Vallotton is a great design. I would love to see a white polished g10 or something similar/better as long as it looks great and keeps price about where it is now. :spyder:

Re: Sprint Vallotton?
That's great news!
Wish you'd consider a Wayne Goddard "homage sprint" as well, although i fully understand and know that your/Spyderco's plate is always pretty full.

Re: Sprint Vallotton?
It doesn't bother me on the full size model, but i have always thought the li'l one look wonky..

Since you mentioned it, the Mini also has an aesthetic problem with an abrupt drop in the spine. I had one that I reprofiled into a smoother arc.Larry_Mott wrote: ↑Tue May 26, 2020 3:25 pmIt doesn't bother me on the full size model, but i have always thought the li'l one look wonky..

I never knew of the original Vallotton being discontinued.

Gotta keep this one on the front page...

Hehe. I can dream, can't I?

Re: Sprint Vallotton?
My only request is make it less thick than the SubHilt. Don't get me wrong, it felt great. But wow, it was heavy.
Or... Titanium liners and bolsters. Keep the comfort, with a bit less weight.
(I wonder what it will actually looks like, haha)
I was going to say maybe it will be in the proto case at BladeShow, but then I wondered if Spyderco was going to be there at the rescheduled time.
