What are you excited about from Amsterdam?

Post by gull wing »

Lots of exotic knives to see for sure.
*So far the only knife I'm exicited about is the Chaparral, a Sage like lockback with that wonderful carbon fiber for scales.
*I'm ok with the New Native with S35VN, FFG, & G10.
* OK with the little slip joint, black FRN scales, wire clip.(forgot the name)

You're thinking of the squeak.

Lum Tanto! Chaparral of course, and while they are a long ways off, the Lil Temp 2 and Large Manix 2 have been haunting my dreams since I heard about them. Too bad I have no idea what they look like

I'm interested in the SS Balance, lightweight Manix, Des Horn, Ayoob redux, and the H1 Dragonfly (as long as it can be had serrated). I really wish the Manix would've came out clear, but it still looks nice. And that SS Balance looks like a perfect watch pocket blade.

I also like the Squeak and Lum Tanto sprint a lot, but don't think I'll be springing for them. Squeak looks neat, but again, probably won't find a need for it. And to think, there's still a whole host of 2011 models we haven't seen. :D

Top two for me I think are the Native 5 w/fluted Ti and the Lum Tanto. The fluted, heat-colored Ti Military was very nice too.

Hmm, too many really to limit though. I'm a sucker that will take one of each, please! :eek: :D

Yohimbo 2...FRN Manix..FFG Native 5

So far, just the Chaparral and the Ladybug Tattoo, but am sure a couple more will be added before Wouter is finished posting pictures.

Dyad Jr. and Ayoob sprints, Des Horn and Chaparral. From the latest round of pictures: The Junior. Maybe the Tuff. I'm not sure about that fuller in the blade.
Newest :spyder: in hand: Halloween Handle Hap40 Endura and Delica.

I really liked the Chaparral, Native 5 and the H1 Dragonfly. A lot of other knives were very nice as well, but not the type of knives I would buy.

I was hoping to get a better picture of the Pukko as well. Hopefully Mr. Blonde will be tossing us a bone in this regard soon. :)

I am pretty excited about the Lum Tanto, SS Balance, Tuff, and the Navaja... Ed Shempp has pretty much called dibs on most of my 2011 salary, I think :p .

They all look good though, Spyderco has really outdone itself this year.

SS Balance for sure... and I'll probably pick up the H1 Dragonfly at some point.
