Any news on a Ti PM2 fluted or non? Or the mystical fluted CF PM2?

Nope neither were there and due to the ton of knives to discuss about I forgot all about it.

[Johnnie1801]

Can't wait for Wouter's photo's and comments from everyone who attended. Did you happen to see the mystical Shamen? :D

That's a huge bummer

Pretty sure it's spelled Shaman, although perhaps the plural is "Shamen"? . This comp lock RIL Native XL, the Nirvana and the new Southard Ion are the ones I really want to know about. Too bad there's no news yet of new Para 2 models...

Your rapid reply is greatly appreciated.
I am sure there were plenty of other fantastic items to keep us busy reading updates for several days.

I'm sure news will start to filter out in the next few hours. It's just past 20:00pm over here so once people get home I'm sure they'll start posting.

I think I inhaled a little bit too much from the old peace pipe (re. Shamen), I hope there will be at least 1 Shaman in my future and hopefully more in different varieties :p

Hey brother do you know the size of Southard Ion blade ?

Absolutely superb- My first meeting, but hopefully not my last....Here's what I got all hot and bothered about as the pass around occurred*:
~Some very sexy handle materials for the Chapparal that I hope meet the light of day. "Jewel-like" was the word I used.
~Got to handle the Nirvana....Yes it's totally worth the wait.
~The fixed Pikal has just made my 'must buy list'....It's a serious piece of kit.
~The Shaman was a real heart-winner- and that's from someone (me) who isn't a massive fan of the Native
~Slyz Swayback made an impression too.
~Cueball definitely on the radar.....
~Viking was awesome in so many different ways- And I will buy one when ever it comes out.
~Little Lum was as cute as button.
~The Roc is a for sure add to the box when it does come out
~Handling of the semi-mythical C100 Samaritan.....Oh yes.
~Some redesigned, releases of some seriously iconic models coming up in the near future....I won't say more.
....Seriously guys- Wouter's photo thread is going to blow your socks off!

*Note- these are as I wrote them and your mileage/experience/name thereof/release may vary. :D

More than that- Sal and Eric a total gentlemen and we had some excellent talks not so much about knives but more about the philosophy of the way that a professional should deal with the world and other people.

As I said more than once during the day- How many other companies with Spyderco's profile do you find the senior management team willing to sit in a room with their customer and talk turkey about their product?.....I can't think of one.

Highlight of my year so far!

Can't wait for pics. Especially the Lil' Lum, Swayback, Shaman and the Chap scales. I am dying to see the bronze Chap scales to see what the machining is like and I also heard Sheep horn was in the works and would love to see how that came out ( hopefully with bolsters :) ). I heard there was a third material as well but have no idea what it is. Hopefully all three were there.

Shaman with compression lock is real heart-winner :)
Chaparral with horn scales has no bolsters, as I remember. 3rd material was a some kind of composite made of mammoth bone dust
