[Simple Man]

Sal Eric, Ed, thanks for sharing, Wouter, thanks for the awesome pics and the time invested. Gotta get a Stretch 2.......

[Vincent]

[redhawk44p]

Mercy mercy!!! Those pics are killing me. I hope they get on the market soon. They hit some massive home runs with those designs.

[jaislandboy]

I think the ETCH modeles are gonna be huge. :p

Thanks for the pics!!

[uhiforgot]

Whoa... wait a minute, this just hit me:

Will there be any serrations on the dive knives? That's gonna be a make-or-break feature in the future :confused:

Since I know Sal is in to diving, I would assume it has been thought of; but will the Perrin finger holes allow a diving gloved finger to fit in the hole?

Yes, the diving knives are somewhat unusual - I have never seen, neither in reality nor in movies, so curved knives (blade/handle). The Perrin hole is a new feature in diving knives, or is that a trick to make knife lighter? Spyderco tends to make light fixed blades and heavy folders (cf. a Perrin Street Bowie with a Chinook folder). I bet, the thickness in H1 Dive is 3 mm, not more. And, I bet, the H1 Utility is not a full tang construction.

Ted, is a H1 Utility also in the 4" range? Thickness?

Just to clear up the names a bit for the new Salt models...

Shown in Wouter's picture here are the Aqua Salts. Utility Blades, FRN Scales. SKU will be FB23SBK/SYL & FB23PBK/PYL.

Yet more H1, the (Caspian?) H1 Utility knives. The Vagabond roots are clearly visible, but that’s where it ends. The blades were slightly blade-heavy and balanced very nice. I want one!



Wouter

These are the Caspian Salts. SKUs FB21P Caspian Salt and FB22P Blunt Tip Caspian Salt

The H1 Dive Knives, with and without a tip. These were a bit bigger than I expected. They felt like real work knives in the hand.









Wouter

And of course these are the Saver Salts, C118SYL / C118SBK.

More H1, the Saver Salts! I hoped for a Salted Rescue 79mm and now we’re going to get one. I’m really looking forward to this one….as well ….. I know. :D

[surawut]

The Ladybug 3 in both FRN and SS versions. These will be mandatory items for me. I hope we can convince the Spydercrew to make a special run or two in the future, I like to see some colors in this model.




Wouter

I thought that Ladybug 3 in the Catalog has only 4 teeth. But the proto has 5 teeth. Anyone notice this?

I would love to see various handle of Ladybug in the market soon, Micarta, G-10, would be cool.

Hi Wouter, thank you for the great pics and for the comments. Looks like you had some fun there... I love Ed's knife. And the Byrd Robin and Flight, and... :cool:
I wonder if there was also any "secret" stuff. You know, new models you're not supposed to take pics of.

[slick228]

Based on the pictures provide by Mr Blonde, the CF Caly 3 has a laminated ZDP-189 blade. Will the production pieces have a LAMINATED or SOLID ZDP-189 blade?

:spyder:

[Halfneck]

Any idea what the projected prices will be on the Aqua Salts & the Schempp Camp Knife?

[Harry White]

i really want a blunt tip caspian (dive) knife -- that tip just begs to be used as a light-use pry tool!

[Mr Blonde]

Ah thanks for clearing that up Kristi!

I also collected all the pics here, on my website. I'll change the names there as well.

Sure, there were plenty of those. I can tell you that the ethnic series by Ed Schempp still have a long way to go before inspiration is lost.

Man I picked a bad year to get completly(cept the house) out of debt! Already asked around on the Caly 3 CF/ZDP.

Hmm why the frown? The laminate line looks nice, makes the steel less brittle, and gives the blade extra corrosion resistance. you are still cutting with ZDP-189, not the 420J.
