What's this knife made for? What's the utility of this special design? :confused:
Hunting? fishing? SD? :rolleyes:

Thanks,

Those are some great questions, and ones I'd like answered as well. Can we have a pic of the Captain, or is it still under :spyder: -wraps?
Ask me where I got my awesome SUPERHAWK!

More like Mid-Cal now

The G10, screws and screw holes, and general handle shape give it a really beefy look. I like it. :D

Though I'm having issues with the lock. I'd really like it to be more exposed, like the Cricket's or, to a further extent, the Military's. I like liner locks, but I don't like when you have to really mash your thumb into it to get a grip on it.

Anybody know what the screw right in the middle of the handle is for? :confused:

Moonlight -

The purpose of this knife is to cut the little personal parts off of people that set cars on fire...... :cool:

And I like it! :D

Love the blade. Love the handle. Please tell me it's a compression lock, not a liner lock.

It's a stubby knife, but I'm willing to bet it's d*** near indestructible. It's got a very industrial look to it. :cool:

But it's a liner lock, so it won't be on my "to buy" list.

A complete guess:

MBC: Looks comfy in Reverse Grip Edge Out
Check out the triangular set of screws for the clip mount like a millie or a para.

Wish it were tip up and not a liner lock.

Still, looks pretty interesting. Wonder who the designer is. Another little big knife.

I guess I will be the first to say that I do not like it.
I can't think of any use I would have for that blade shape.

It strikes me as great and wrong , I dont get the front point . I`d prefer more an obvious s curve .

Looks like one that`ll need to be handled to be understood .

Cool pic, and I like the blade shape. Yes, it should be tip up compatable, and I think everybody would like to see a comp. lock. The blade reminds me of one of these Bali's: http://www.edcknives.com/vcom/product_i ... cts_id=654

Is this a Strider Collab.?

Interesting... The first thing that came to my mind when I saw it was the Tracker from Tom Brown:

Now I do like that! And for me, G10, tip down and a liner lock, it will be on my wants list! :cool:

Anyone know who designed it? In house Spydie crew or another up and coming designer being given a chance? :cool: :D

Kristi posted in an other thread that it's a Jason Breeden collab. To be honest: I've never heard of that guy before :o
