Mini Yojimbo
Dodo Wharncliffe
Stretch 2 XL
Military 2
Mini-Native Tanto
Schempp Priceless
Manix 2 XL Micarta
Mini P'Kal
There were a ton of other models I'm forgetting and I probably got the names wrong on a few. I went back 4x, I haven't been as excited about as many different models in a long time :D

Re: Bladeshow 2021
Very cool (https://youtu.be/huKGr1WFMeI&t=244s, linked before anyway already)
- FRN Chief: I´ve been asking and hoping for this one several times...
- 4 " Enuff" in thinner stock! :)
- Stretch in K390: Will hopefully finally make the Stretch sell as it should!
- Praise of the backlock and pushing of FRN: Really matching my taste!
Nothing to complain about, really...

Re: Bladeshow 2021
Nice talking with Sal, Eric and Lance today. Some great stuff in the pipeline and a factory expansion coming for Golden.
So many knives, so few pockets... :)

Re: Bladeshow 2021
Like a bigger, nicer Khukri without the large choil/ricasso. Handle was rounded wood/brass(?), blade shape closer to the Chinese Folder than the Khukri - maybe 3.6"-3.75" length. Knife felt a little more "prototype" than "production sample". As someone who loved the Khukri and Barong, I'm very excited for the Priceless.

Any idea what changed with the Techno 3 prototype compared to the current version?A.S. wrote: ↑Fri Jun 04, 2021 7:47 pmThe Spyderco booth was full of people today as usual. I got a cool poster of all the blade steels & models. My favorite prototype was the Paramilitary 2 plain edge Civilian type blade. There was Techno 3 and McNees Dixon. They even had a Spyderco canteen cup in the prototype case.
Re: Bladeshow 2021
The Techno 3 looked like Marcin’s own prototype he made. The blade is much thinner and had a slightly different shape; more of a point. The handle is relatively the same size, but had some groves in it. The knife felt smaller in my hand & definitely not as thick as the previous models.mikey177 wrote: ↑Sat Jun 05, 2021 6:16 amAny idea what changed with the Techno 3 prototype compared to the current version?A.S. wrote: ↑Fri Jun 04, 2021 7:47 pmThe Spyderco booth was full of people today as usual.

Re: Bladeshow 2021
Thank you for the information. I would be eager to try a Techno 3 with a more slicey blade. I hope the prototype makes it to production.A.S. wrote: ↑Sat Jun 05, 2021 7:44 amThe Techno 3 looked like Marcin’s own prototype he made.

Was the Military 2 photo the same stop lock proto that's been shown before, or a new compression lock model?spoonrobot wrote: ↑Fri Jun 04, 2021 11:54 amMini Yojimbo

Re: Bladeshow 2021
Man, I'm excited about a few of these featured in the Knife Center video.
The K390 Stretch is pre-ordered, and with some aftermarket Micarta scales it might be my new favorite EDC.
The Enuff XL looks great, but I was a bit disappointed that it'll be released in H1 first - I would've preferred VG-10. Maybe I'll just need to try a serrated fixed blade?
The Chief looks fantastic, and it's already on my list, but now I'll have to choose between the LW and the G-10. Hmm...
Finally, the Crucarta PM2 is a no-question buy. I've loved my Z-wear Shaman, and can't wait for Crucarta everything.
