Blade HQ M4/Jade Rock Lobster
Re: Blade HQ M4/Jade Rock Lobster
Did these have super thick blade stock, which was popular Anso (or was it Voxnaes) at the time?
Re: Blade HQ M4/Jade Rock Lobster
Nope, is say probably 2.5mm.

I wish they’d do a Pingo in this set up, Anso’s best design IMO

Re: Blade HQ M4/Jade Rock Lobster
Interestingly, I just got a notification from the Spyderco App about when these were dropping. I don't ever remember getting notifications about exclusives before.

Cool, but I’m not a fan of liner locks, so more for the rest of youns.

Earlier today they announced on Instagram that due to social media policy changes, all dealer exclusives will now be announced on the app.The Meat man wrote: ↑Wed May 12, 2021 3:19 pmInterestingly, I just got a notification from the Spyderco App about when these were dropping.

"Dealer exclusive announcements are moving to the Spyderco app! Free to download on Android and iOS, it’s a go-to resource for all things Spyderco. #spyderco #spydercoknives #spydercoapp"
Some further information was provided in comments section of that post
@spyderco_inc via Instagram wrote:"Unfortunately, due to recent changes in the branded content partnership policies of major social media platforms we've been left with no choice but to move these announcements. It's new policies and stricter enforcement from IG and FB. They've flagged our Exclusive Posts as being a branded partnership and they have some strict rules about what those kinds of posts can include. Unfortunately, knives (with the exception of culinary), are against their rules. We discovered that our last several exclusive posts were essentially shadow banned by IG. So rather than risk our entire profile being removed, we're moving this one piece of our social media posts to our app - where we have no restrictions."

And the noose tightens. Unbelievable.

Re: Blade HQ M4/Jade Rock Lobster
I actually like the idea of all the dealer exclusives coming to me via the app instead of me having to watch however many other social median accounts across twitter, FB, IG and whatever else.
Re: Blade HQ M4/Jade Rock Lobster
I really liked getting that spyderco app exclusive notification. I don't have any social media apps anymore. I check the Instagram website infrequently.

Re: Blade HQ M4/Jade Rock Lobster
This is how i feel about it also.
I wonder if we'll get notifications for exclusives from the non-authorized dealers though?

Re: Blade HQ M4/Jade Rock Lobster
Wow, I didn’t think they would ever bring this back.
Not wild about the scales. Wonder if they will do a regular run later? Would love to see the original color with whatever steel (VG-10 is just fine, though this screams LC200N) at a lower price point. $230 isn’t a surprising price, but I dunno if I’ll pull the trigger at that price. Probably rather get a Native Chief if I’m buying a new big knife.

Re: Blade HQ M4/Jade Rock Lobster
Rit Dye will take care of the scales, but M4 is too rust prone for me in my climate. However, I do look forward to others posting when they get theirs.

This is one of the only liner lock knives I've considered purchasing.

Re: Blade HQ M4/Jade Rock Lobster
It's almost as if they're looking at the catalog trying to hand pick models that have come and gone and secondary prices have gone up.
I was set on ordering until that reveal dropped. Now I may need to do some harder prioritizing.

Re: Blade HQ M4/Jade Rock Lobster
I think I'm going to have to pass on this today, which really is surprising to say. It's a model I've wanted to see in some kind of production again for years, but I just have almost no interest in plain edge at all anymore and I know if I buy one it'll just sit in the box. I haven't used my original in years

This is how I feel about G10 anymore. I rarely carry anything other FRN, and if I do I'd rather it be Micarta.
This one is also a pass for me

Re: Blade HQ M4/Jade Rock Lobster
I hope this release is a success. We've seen the Phoenix, Slysz Bowie, and now the Rock Lobster come back from the dead. If this goes well, we may see more dormant releases make an appearance in the future.
