Spyderco Forums

A few days after the Amsterdam Meet, I had to take a break from the photo selection, editing and posting process, to attend the IWA Show in Germany. It’s like a ‘mini-SHOT Show’ but a lot less ‘tactical’. At the IWA Show, Eric Glesser was kind enough to (allow and) help me shoot a few videos of some of the upcoming prototypes. I should be able to have them all finished this week. On to the first Spyderco 2014 prototype video.

One of the prototypes Spyderco showed this year at the IWA show in Germany, was the Dog Tag Folder designed by Serge Panchenko. Eric Glesser gives a quick overview of this new upcoming folder. There might have been a little mistake in this video, I overheard Eric explaining elsewhere during the show that the blade is stonewashed and not coated.

Very cool. The dog tag is a must buy for me. I love neck knives.

Thanks for posting. It's always good to see video. Looking forward to more!

Great stuff! Thanks for sharing these with us. :)

This upcoming Bowie folder, designed by Marcin Slysz, was one of my top three favorite Spyderco prototypes this year.

Most excellent. Nothing beats video for a 3d understanding of the shape (other than holding it in person).

Thx Wouter! Nice vids! 3 times a stike in my wallet :)

Its a shame there arent plastic dummies we could order to get a sense of fit, im about sick of this internet guessing game in terms of having to put in hours of speculation for what 5 seconds in hand would reveal.

Finally, a slipit folder design that looks like it could take some hard use! I am very anxious to see this PITS folder, designed by Mike Read, in production.

I like the PITS a lot more after seeing it in action. I think I'd prefer a more subdued handle, like the Techno, but otherwise it's really nice!

The Bowie looks really awesome in hand. Want that one.

I like PITS and can only wish that the knife had a lock. Any lock.

Pie In The Sky looks SMOOOOOOTH in deployment @ :37...I'm in!

PITS look like it's TOPS for me. I have no need for a non-locking knife, but this actually appeals to me more than the Slysz Bowie. Go figure right.

Video is great...thanks for these Wouter!

I really really really wish that they push the grind on the PITS back to the "guard". They way it is now just seems like someone forgot to grind it all the way back...its seriously annoying even to look at.

Other than that seems a very cool little knife.

You, me, and my wife. I hope this prototype makes it to market.

I agree it does look a little out of place for my tastes too...however at least it makes a good base for those of us who use the EdgePro.

That you are seeing it here means it is or will very shortly go into production.

That you for the video's Wouter!
