The Sage project is quite difficult as new engineering is required for every variation and sales figures may or may not support the effort depending on the model.
We also have to get permission from the "creator" of the "lock" before we can use their name. This is sometimes challenging as we do not pay a royalty for the use, we only give recognition.
Chris Reeve has given us the go ahead for the RIL (Reeve Integral Lock) version, so it's next.
As we get each one into the market, we will begin the next. Some may take longer than others due to the aforementioned engineering requirement.

I have protos of the large and small Chinese folders that Bob Made some time ago. (The current model is the medium sized model). I also have one of his Chinese Bowies (Darn Do), a large fixed blade.

The new Military will probably add a variation with a stop lock.

I'm an admirer of Spyderco's designs. Using them is like immersing yourself in music or studying a painting in a museum. I buy some "fine" art but my preference is for usable art.

Catamount,
I've read through the linked thread but could see no mention of timescales for the G-10 Dragonfly. Any ideas or seen any mention? Really liking the sound of a G-10n Dragonfly. :)

We made custom Foliage green, we'll be using digital cammo (a military coming out in a few weeks), we're negotiating with Strider for permission to use their Coyote brown, we're working on a dark midnight blue.

We are now considering additional runs in VG-10. We have one distributor that wants an exclusive run in a different color and we're considering additional runs in alternate colors.

What is he considering additional runs of?.....a specific knife...or lots of things?
