Spyderco's next "it" Knife

[Joshua J.]

I'm pretty sure the Tuff will be it by a landslide, but my vote goes to the Szabo. I like big knives.

[speedcut]

Szabo for me- the compression lock, the complex stopping pin the overall strenght of this sd folder does it for me......

[Mr Blonde]

Unless the final production model somehow disappoints the ELU, it's definitely going to be the Southard. The stats on the prototype pics/video are off the charts. Online at least, the Southard already is the next "it" knife.

Mr Blonde, I hope that Spyderco truly appreciates your contribution towards the knife Knut epidemic. After reading your Amsterdam report, I was also hooked on the Tuff, Southard and Techno. Thanks again for the effort. I am not doin the fan boy thing. Just saying what's on my mind.

[Goeri]

For me it is definately the ulize. The other knives are more collectors knifes.
But, i handeled them all at the Amsterdam meet and the ulize is the one that is stuck in my mind. It does not look as flashy s the others, but once it is in your hand...

For me none of the 4 mentioned in the poll. I thing the next big thing is Southard flipper!! I would put the Techno on second and the Caly 3 damascus on third

I'm getting a Techno but you said "collectors" so I voted Szabo.

I voted Chaparral. The new Stealth Chaparral due to be released I think in July or afterwards. I love my CF Chaparral and the way it fits in my hand. For me, it is a great EDC size, shape, blade, etc. The new one will have ti scales and CPM-XHP blade steel. Really looking forward to it. The only thing I wonder about is the titanium handle and what kind of grip it will have. I don't care for the grip of SS and the bolsters on my Sage4 seem slick. However, a small knife with the choil and ergos of the Chaparral I think I will get a good grip.

I am not seeing a voting button for the Tuff.

Southfork

[Ankerson]

The South Fork will be the knife.....

[defenestrate]

Agree about the southfork for a fixed blade, but I think the Tuff and Southard are both up there for folders. All 4 on your poll have good buzz, but I don't know if they will generate as much demand. I guess the Chaparral has a good shot over the others, but that's just a guess.

[OldSarSwmr]

Well the Tuff has been my "it" knife for several years now :o but I have been thinking of the Southard since the moment I saw Mr. Blonde's pictures!

I do agree that the southard will be an it knife. The first of stuff usually is and spyderco finally doing a flipper will be an it for collecting.

I however find the tuff to be the it knife for me. I edced a kuhkri for a very long time. I finally retired it as I just found the handle to have little girth and the blade was not large enough for some tasks I wanted to do givin the blades angle. The tuff answeres all these needs of mine plus it has a no nonsense steel that will take a beating. Beafed up pivot and I know this is purely speculative at this point but either the added blade length is playing tricks on my eyes but I think the blade angle is less then its smaller brother. This would be a good thing in my book.

[Enkidude]

Out of those choices I think the Techno. Lot of buzz about that one. I'm really interested in the ROC that is in the works though.

[Pinetreebbs]

No Tuff, no vote,

It doesn't really matter to me though, I like them all.

Whats all this collector talk about the szabo? I'm hoping I might be able to replace my Millie with it as edc.

Southard and Centofante Memory for me.

[Benny90]

My guess:
1. Southard
2. Tuff
3. Szabo/Ulize
4. Techno/Chaparal

The fact that the Southard is the first flipper design for Spyderco, I think it will be a big hit with collectors and buyers alike. The Techno is very cool but I see the others being more 'collectible', same with the Chaparal since it is a version of a production knife already available unlike the others. The Tuff, Szabo, Ulize seem to be quite big knives though, which might not be everyones bag.
