I'm sure I'm late to the party on this one, but the Southfork looks absolutely stunning.
Southfork - Gorgeous!

I'm really looking forward to this one!
I see its almost exactly the same size as the Aqua Salt.
It will probably be the cheapest way to get hold of a Phil Wilson knife in S90V (even though its not a custom).

My first reaction was "wow thats pricey" and then after a few seconds contemplation "wow thats cheap." If you think about the amount of grinding and the amount of S90V which must go into a (I believe full tang) 10" knife that is a lot. This looks like a real winner here from Spyderco. I know I'm down for at least one. I'd like to get a look at the sheath. I'd really love it if this one came with a sheath and G-clip which facilitated inside the waistband carry. (just like most of spyderco's other fixed blades)
I actually plan on making a leather sheath for it. Considering what customs go for in this steel its a steal. Also its not easy finding someone willing to work with it. I found a custom maker but he was getting ready to stop using it. He also wouldn't make the exact knife I wanted. He would make knives and offer them but wouldnt do a full custom knife for me. I found out about Phil Wilson after but I can't afford customs right now I'm hoping to have a better job come 2012.

I would love to know how thin behind the edge it is. Phil trusts his custom customers not to abuse their knives and so he goes for a thin blade that slices incredibly well. I'd love it if this knife replicates that philosophy.

Not a sprint; it's in the 2012 catalog as a regular production item.
Of course it has to sell in order to have a 2nd production run.

Our reason is quite satisfied, in 999 cases out of every 1000 of us, if we can find a few arguments that will do to recite in case our credulity is criticized by someone else. Our faith is faith in someone else's faith, and in the greatest matters this is most the case.

Wow, that's an instant classic! Like the kind of knife that will be highly prized and sought after years from now. Just beautiful, and it has all of the best qualities, IMHO, of a perfect knife! American made I assume by the steel, full tang, micarta, flat ground, and a very gently curved sweep to the blade... I'll be wanting one of those...
