I have held the Orange Dodo!!!

[bammann45]

I went to the USN Network gathering in Las Vegas this past week. I had the pleasure to meet Eric Glesser at the Spyderco table. Amongst the prototypes, future releases and other goodies was a shiny new Orange Dodo. The run will be limited to 1000 pieces -- I am not sure when they are coming out.

The LionSpy is quite the knife -- definitely going to need one when it comes out. Having held it and the original, I actually think I prefer the Spyderco rendition.

Gayle Bradley has some great new stuff in the works....

The Tuff won't be out until next year -- the scale texture will be changing as well. They didn't have one on hand to look at.

The mega persian concept was amusing -- a huge blade.

I also got to handle a variety of the other up and comings... The show knife was a black and green H1 catcherman -- I didn't pick one up but it was pretty sweet.

I wish I could've taken pictures :)

So excited for the orange dodo, 500 se 500 pe??

[bammann45]

Good question! I didn't ask. The one I saw was PE so I am not sure.

[Bradley]

I hope it's half and half. I'd love to have one of each.

I didn't know the Dodo was making a comeback! What's the steel?

I bought a black SE Dodo quite a while after it was discontinued and the lock seems to be defective. I never bothered to send it in since the model was already discontinued and because it was really just a collector piece to me. (I know it's not real popular among a lot of Spyderco fans to have "safe queens", but I have a tough time using more expensive AND discontinued models. :) )

Anyway, long story short, I might be interested in this one as a user. :D I love the reverse S blade shape.

That is some very good news!

I sure hope that they offer them in PE & SE. Also what blade steel were they made with?

It's gonna be great to see the Dodo again back in action :cool:

I hope it's something like M-4 or S90V maybe

I don't suppose you got any pictures.

The day the Orange Dodo is released, that will be the signal for the Apocalypse. :eek:

[Bradley]

I don't believe pics are allowed.

I'm really looking forward to this sprint, since I have yet to find a good deal on an original.

Can you elaborate on the mega persians blade length? Give us a rough estimate. I was thinking S90V for the dodo too jd. I would kill for some SE S90V. It has to be possible. It has to be done.

Is it hollow grind with bolsters or no bolsters FFG?

[D1omedes]

I'm eager to see the new Gayle Bradley designs. I'm curious to see what steels will be used.

[bammann45]

Is it hollow grind with bolsters or no bolsters FFG?

Was no bolsters, ffg - but I believe it was a concept model -- not a proto -- so I imagine it could change. The blade length was about 5 inches or a bit more.

There was also another concept model based on the Police by a German policemen - it was police sized with a slightly curved handle and recurved blade -- was intended to be a German police knife.

I don't know what steel the Dodo was -- I forgot to look :) I would guess S30V.

There were also two Caly Jr concept models -- one with woven carbon fiber scales and the other with rounded blue and white micarta -- I really liked the micarta model. Eric was soliciting opinions as to which was the preferred material -- I liked the micarta best as it was a real departure from the usual.
