Which knives would you like to see in XL size?
Re: Which knives would you like to see in XL size?
Dragonfly 2XL! If they could transfer the ergos to a larger blade then it would be a slicing beast...well, actually it already is a slicing beast. I could just have fun slicing bigger stuff.

Is it too soon to suggest a Rhino XL? :D

Re: Which knives would you like to see in XL size?
I have dreamed of a Dragon Fly Salt with a 3.5 inch blade but where the basic design is retained.
A larger Tasman Salt, ie, a reinstatement of the Spyder Hawk.
And a Tusk with 3.5-4 inch blade.
I consider the upcoming Caribbean to be an almost perfect knife. The blade is between 3 and 4 inches long, comes in plain edge and serrated edge, and I want the pointed model, and I would like to see a FRN handle version be made in the future. The lc200N blade steel is perfect.

Ladybug?! :D
Re: Which knives would you like to see in XL size?
I think the Shabaria and Kris would both make great sprint runs their historical fixed blade designs.
Re: Which knives would you like to see in XL size?
The KRIS model you mention is quite interesting>> but I would like to see it bigger but in a fixed blade format. Also I'm liking the idea of a fixed blade Shabaria as well. Some of those Recurves were overlooked from a "function" standpoint and I'm sure that in the fixed blade format those could really be better in a bigger and in fixed blade IMO.jdw wrote:I think the Shabaria and Kris would both make great sprint runs their historical fixed blade designs.
But I'm not giving up on the idea of a bigger Dodo model. But I would like it to remain as a folder.

Spydiechef for sure.
Re: Which knives would you like to see in XL size?
Manix 2 XL in a good, corrosion-resistant steel like S110V or LC200N. Carbon steels and tool steels just can't handle what I do with a knife and some superior options to those usual sprints would be nice. Maybe the Caribbean would make a good alternative?
I'd also love to see a 4" - 4.5" SpydieChef.
Dragonfly XL at around 2.75" - 3" would be great!

They're completely different designs overall, but the Szabo folder handle feels a lot like what I'd imagine an upscaled Dodo would.JD Spydo wrote:For years I've tried to imagine what a bigger scale DODO model would be like. I truly believe that if you took the DODO model and make it two to three times as large as it is that it would be an even better blade than it is.
Nope! The rhino would be on my radar if it were big enough to comfortably grip with four fingers. After viewing photos and specs I've concluded that won't be the case. It's a neat design otherwise.ZrowsN1s wrote:Is it too soon to suggest a Rhino XL? :D

Re: Which knives would you like to see in XL size?
I would like to see a largely version of the WolfSpyder. I love the current size, but a larger version would be sweet.

I am in the process of making a larger Rhino. It is nearly finished. If all goes well, maybe Spyderco will pick it up. :)Vivi wrote:They're completely different designs overall, but the Szabo folder handle feels a lot like what I'd imagine an upscaled Dodo would.JD Spydo wrote:For years I've tried to imagine what a bigger scale DODO model would be like.

That's awesome news! I hope when the first Rhino comes out you and Spyderco see a lot of success out of the model!SpyderNut wrote:I am in the process of making a larger Rhino. It is nearly finished.

Re: Which knives would you like to see in XL size?
I think it's obvious aftet reading these posts: Dragonfly XL is a must!
I think it needs to be longer but not necessarily any wider or thicker.
