This is an odd one. I never hear anybody talk about their Rock Lobster?

It was an odd model that didn't seem to get much attention until it started getting modded, then it turns into a whole different beast.

I heard about it quite a bit when I first joined the forum a few years ago. I remember because I got a kick out of the name. It never really looked like something I need to have. So I never bought one. Taking a hard look at it again I'm sure I'd like it but it's longer than I'd prefer. So I'll pass on this one too

It was the Slysz Bowie of 2009. Meh response till it was discontinued and then super hot.

Now this is one I like! I like the knife, I like M4 and I like the scale colour.

A very cool and weird design, I want to want it...but most likely will pass. Sure would make sense to RIT dye this thing red though :)

I love the blade shape, and I love that these oldies-but-goodies are being brought back! But man I don't like jade g10 and satin blades. I've gotta think on this one - as others have said, it'd be a great RIT project.

This is one of those models that I passed on when first getting into collecting and have regretted since. I am definitely getting one of these!

I like seeing them bring back the hits even though this one isn't for me. Maybe a C95 Manix with Dino Jimping will eventually be on the list!

Yep. Just a bit of cutting and grinding, not too hard really.

Anso just showed off a new custom with a spyderhole and now this returns!
Never thought this would be back!

I agree with others, a rock lobster should be lc200n, but I'm just happy Spyderco/anso is still on the table

Whoa.. there's one out of left field! Hah, I wouldn't have guessed that would be their next exclusive in a million years..

Have there ever been any M4 models out of Japan? Hmm interesting..

This one looks old school cool.. I like it. But I don't think I like it enough to actually buy it hahah.. 8.5 in OAL is not small..

I've been fascinated by this model for a while now. I don't like liner locks, I'm not a huge M4 fan, I don't mind the natural g10. But Rock Lobster? I'm in. :)
