Re: Blade HQ Jade/M4 Dodo SE coming
Really shocked theses are still available! Going through acceptance testing at work kept me away from being online today and I thought I would miss this. Can't wait to test out M4 with teeth!

Unless there's some sort of issue with the website, it seems Dodo demand is satisfied. In stock for a full day. Too bad I don't have the budget or I'd have bought another.

Is selling out in minutes or hours now the measure of the success of a knife? I sure hope not.
Because desolate places allow us to breathe. And most people don't even know they're out of breath.

Re: Blade HQ Jade/M4 Dodo SE coming
It's been that way for a decade and a half. This model will most likely follow the cult classic path like a lot of lower demand exclusives/sprints, but not selling out quickly on day one is a big Oof.Wandering_About wrote: ↑Wed May 04, 2022 9:43 amIs selling out in minutes or hours now the measure of the success of a knife?

The BHQ PE version sold out in under 10 minutes, but that feels like a lifetime ago. The SE model also has a lot less discussion on the forums. For whatever reasons (price/SE/handle color/steel), it's just not as in demand.

Perhaps some are holding out for a DLC version? Would have been my 1st choice, but you know, FOMO.

Re: Blade HQ Jade/M4 Dodo SE coming
I have wanted a Dodo for as long as I can remember. But I just can't pull the trigger on M4. Really hope one comes out in a steel that requires less maintenance like S30V.
Make time for the important things in life, and learn to enjoy the little things more.

Re: Blade HQ Jade/M4 Dodo SE coming
Don't hold your breath. I don't see this one coming out in any other steels any time soon. One release every few years if you are lucky.
M4 is fine if you aren't getting it sweaty or wet. Most people aren't going to EDC a Dodo, so not a huge concern. Mine is going to sit in my desk drawer as a box/package opener. I will do literally zero maintenance on it and sleep like a baby. :)

Which one might that be? I love the reverse-S shape.steelcity16 wrote: ↑Mon Apr 25, 2022 1:42 pmI wonder if another Dodo exclusive I know about will be soon? I feel like they make blades in batches.
Smaller ones, like this Dodo, or the Cricket for the budget minded, are absolute cardboard murderers and are super useful. I love them, I enjoy carrying and using them.

That is wild to me, "It isn't gone in a day, oof!" haha, that says good things about Spyderco though, that folks are like "Wow, it lasted 24 hours, 1200 people didn't instantly get it, it took TWO days to go?" haha. I bought two, the minute they dropped. I'm not usually too crazy for sprints, but this one I had to have. Any reverse-S sprint, is a mandatory one for me. Got a plainedge Dodo with beautiful Desert Ironwood scales.

Re: Blade HQ Jade/M4 Dodo SE coming
This is one of my favorite knife reviews on YouTube. Guy doing it is really laid back and casual and shows off his obviously well loved Gayle Bradley he claims to have used for 5 years. It’s about the most patina I’ve ever seen on M4 and it’s not bad at all. He’s right too, M4 doesn’t do much more than change to a dull grey with the same minimal maintenance I give S30V.
Re: Blade HQ Jade/M4 Dodo SE coming
I’m super excited to finally get my hands on a dodo, especially a serrated one! Haven’t been excited for an exclusive drop in a while. Oddball, yet functional, designs like this are a big reason I love Spyderco so much.
That said, I can’t stand the jade G10 - does anybody know any makers who will do Dodo scales? Or do I just have to bust out the Rit dye…

Re: Blade HQ Jade/M4 Dodo SE coming
I suspect RIT dye is your safest bet. Good news being you have a blank slate and can pick any color.Lumpy wrote: ↑Wed May 04, 2022 2:26 pmI’m super excited to finally get my hands on a dodo, especially a serrated one!

Re: Blade HQ Jade/M4 Dodo SE coming
Has anybody got a shipping notification yet? I ordered first minute of the sale and I'm still waiting. I saw the "Due to some unexpected shipping delays, this item will ship within 1-2 business days!" notification and it's been 2 days so just curious if anybody has any movement on their order.

Re: Blade HQ Jade/M4 Dodo SE coming
Does anyone know how many BHQ commissioned for the SE? Looking at the spyderwiki it doesn't mention SE yet and only that the PE sold out in about 5 minutes, but not how many were made.
500?
500?
