Domino dropping!
"Pretty let down" by a knife you haven't handled or even seen.......?
Yeah? Why is that so hard to believe? When you get the impression that a knife is going to be a certain size and it comes in smaller than you had hoped, then you get let down. I'm not saying the knife sucks, it's just not what I expected. What's wrong with that?flash900 wrote:"Pretty let down" by a knife you haven't handled or even seen.......?

I am waiting for mine to come in, I'm sure its an amazing knife but I can't help but wonder if they could have made the blade a little less tall so it doesn't take up unnecessary pocket room. However it has two cool ways to open it.... thumb hole & flipper.Evil D wrote:I gotta say, I'm pretty let down with this knife. Don't get me wrong, it's a sweet knife, I just really expected more blade length from the prototype pics that went around. I'll have to wait and hopefully handle one in person someday before I have a final opinion. It does look bigger than I thought it was going to end up being, it's almost Para 2 sized. Maybe it's just the height of the blade that makes it look so stubby.
We will see what I think when it arrives tuesday!
Spyderco please make a wire clip version of the Manbug/Ladybug!
^ Oops einstein, how did that happen? Mine hasn't bit me yet... :) though I played with it during most of a 45 minute drive yesterday.einstein2001 wrote:
I have some other flippers - Southard, ZT 0350, etc but this is the only one that has a choil that allows placement of the finger in *front* of the "flipper nub" when open, and I *really* am liking that feature. Just how my fingers tend to fall I guess, and on my other flippers I have to make a conscious effort to place my finger *behind* the nub when open.
Sure the steel isn't CTS-204P or S110 etc., but I do really like CTS-XHP. I have a lot of nice Spydies in competition for pocket time, but this one is definitely going in the mix (I need more pockets! :D ).
Which Knife, A or B? get Both! (and C, D and E) :)
"Sage on steroids" -- perfect description.
I thought the Sage 2 was a bargain but the Domino is at another level altogether, at not a lot higher street price.
The Domino is smooooth. F&f is excellent. A top-drawer Spydie and one of the nicest production models I have owned.
This isn't my favorite Spydie clip, but it looks and works just fine.
Congratulations, Eric and the rest of the Spyderco team!

The Brad Southard is a super fine knife though, I love it.-

Mine will be here tomorrow sometime and after reading some of the posts here I am really looking forward to getting it. A few of you seemed a little disappointed in the knife but over all I think it should be a nice knife, I just hope the lock up is on the early side, its just the way I like them but really has no affect of the lock up unless its really late then I might be more concerned since its a new knife, but that's why I like the insert its a easy fix for them.
