Spyderco Air Suspense Building! Any Updates?

Another clipless here.

The clip is a non-issue to me. For this size knife, I'd remove the clip anyway.
The one reason I'll have to pass on the Air is that it's very right-hand oriented, blocking the Spyder hole from left-hand use.
I'm fairly ambidextrous, but it does appear to be an anti-left-handed design.

I do agree that it is a VERY right handed design...but I love Gayle Bradley's designs and materials...especially M4. And having used a lot of right handed knives I have become pretty good at opening using the hole with the middle finger of my left hand, reaching under and "flicking".

I wouldn't mind the semi circle type clip that is on the nishijin lum chinese, seems like a classy "light" fit for the air.

Go Clipless.

Don't worry I'm right there with you on the no clip for this knife. But I am excited for the pouch...though I think that a black version of what they did for the Kiwi would be just fine.

YES! +1 I too am looking forward to it. However, I wonder if Spyderco has ever considered a clip pouch? Especially since they brought the clip to the whole game in the first place.

That looks pretty nice!

A clipped pouch could be interesting if it was done right...something that kept the lip of the pouch right at pocket height so that you just had to reach in and pull it out...I like it.

Though something like that could end up adding a fair amount to the cost as it would require probably better leather, more of it, and a clip....the kiwi pouch was just suede, 2 small pieces stitched together. I figure dye it black, and it will do the job nicely...plus keep costs to a minimum.

I would be good either way really.

Sorry to sidetrack the thread. I am on a clipless knife kick lately, however I am not liking the SAK and Kiwi taking over my 5th pocket and moving my Mini-tool to another pocket to clang around with change and misc. I think I am going to continue to hunt for a multi-purpose WH clip pouch on the secondary market to use on all my clipless blades.

Bump

Any updates? I'm really looking forward to this little companion for my GB!

Let me know if you find anything...

In what appears to be a Sign from The Gods, my new jeans once again have a watch pocket that can hold a knife just the Air's size...

Yet like one of the classical Greek tortures, there is no Air to put in there.
