I recall Sal saying somewhere (possibly hidden away in this thread) that Eric was working on an upgraded version of the Dodo. Whether that makes it a Dodo 2 or Dodo 1.5, I'm not sure. But it seems that it isn't going to be just a sprint of the old knife in orange, but a new and improved version.

Based on this, plus past conversations of Eric revamping the model, it's not going to be a sprint of the old knife. Plus making a prototype of an existing model seems redundant.

I see it being a CBBL like the manix 2's instead of the old style bigger ball bearing lock
I hope you're wrong. I HATE the caged ball lock, the original big ball was much easier to actuate

I agree... plus, aesthetically, having plastic associated with the locking mechanism seems chincy somehow (I know this is irrational for the most part).

I have a little bit of trouble operating the non caged ball lock for some reason. But the caged ball lock is smooth and easy.

But I'd be happy with either lock type.

I second that. I didn't get the new matriarch because it just didn't appeal to me in a FFG Form :(

Normally I love FFG but on some knives it does NOTHING for me :o

I certainly prefer original hollow grind on Persians and Dodo.
