What are we likely to see from Spyderco at Blade Show in June? Any product releases, perhaps?

Any hints?

Will video/photos be allowed at the Spyderco booth?

Talk about interesting timing, i was going to post up the exact same thing. The Galleria is less than 10 min down the road from me.

Probably not very much new that wasn't shown in Wouter's thread on the Amsterdam meet, but am sure there will be one or two surprises in the prototype case. And, given that Sal has mentioned they'll have some knives for sale at Blade Show this year, there's at least a chance one of them will be a new release. Not sure what the rules on photography will be, but in the past, they divided their display into three categories - knives already in production, prototypes which would be going into production in the near future, and concept models which may or may not ever see production. The first two could be photographed, the last could not. But that's probably gotten a lot harder to enforce in the four years since I last attended. Now every cell phone is a camera, and most have as good resolution as the average digital camera had back then. **** near impossible to tell if someone's just texting or snapping photos of everything in sight.

You might want to go to the Galleria instead, you'll probably find more knives there than at either the Atlanta or Cobb Civic Centers.

Haha, brought back many memories of Cobb county and thinking of old school trips... fun stuff. But yes, the centers official name is of course 'the Galleria'. :) I usually only call the mall in there the Galleria.

No one else has any thoughts on what might be at BLADE?...

The release of the Spyderco Tuff would be awesome :)
