I have zero practical use for the Mamba except to whip that sucker out and enjoy watching people's reaction to it. Definitely going to get one.

Good or bad reactions?

It's Texas :)

ATR!!! It looks amazing. Precisely like Sal had described it. Is it just me or did Eric give off the impression that it will be standard production?

I didn't take that away but it's just me. Would be cool if it is.

Where o where is the Nirvana...

At this point i have past crazyness in a few new levels.
Spyderco please break silence about this knife a simple update would do... Even a they are not ready but coming soon is good enough for me. But this silence is making me well... i love spyderco but this is making me feel a few things , and happyness is not one of them.

I know i am not the only person asking this...
Because this knife is just to expensive to let everyone in the dark about it. At the amsterdam meet last year you said in person to me that it would normally come out in december but now januari is on its last leggs and not a word has bin said about it again... Sal we need a bombshell before youre fans will be exploding them selfves from questionmadness ....

Spyderco doesn’t expect the Nirvana to ship until this summer at the earliest, but the Peter Rassenti-designed knife is a remarkable example of Spyderco’s engineering and manufacturing capabilities. The handle is machined from a single piece of titanium, and feels slim and sturdy in hand.

"Godfathers of Spyderco" could not be more true. That was only a couple hundred years worth of knife making experience represented at one table. They look like a bunch of pocket knife mafia with their badass black shirts on lol. I love how Sal is just sitting back watching his minions do his bidding.

I'm pretty excited about the ATR, definitely going to check that out. S30V coming from Seki is exciting, but honestly it wouldn't really bother me if this one was VG10 either, or ZDP, or Superblue..lol

I want to like the Positron so much but that plunge line is still bugging me.

I like how the GB2 and the Sprig both have thinner blade/edge grinds. Hopefully this is a sign of things to come. Knives have been overbuilt and overly thick for far too long.

The Lil' Lum was interesting. I like that it's Dfly size, but that clip..holy cow that clip is way too big for that knife.

Love the Mantras, will most likely own one of them real soon, probably the 2.

The Mamba...wow, what a monster of a knife. Totally not my style, but the blade coating is very interesting. I wonder if that's something we'll see more of?

And the Szabohawk...I would like to see that brought out with a more traditional hatchet style blade. I don't own a quality hatchet, but I could get a lot of use out of something like that if it had a more wood-chopper style blade.

[gbelleh]

Wow, I'm really liking the ATR! Glad to see they kept the cobra hood, handle holes, and original blade grind. Keeping what identifies it as an ATR, but giving G-10 traction and a more user friendly pocket clip. I'll be getting one for sure!

Yup. Looks like they nailed this one. The only way they could have improved it is if it was a Taichung or golden knife. Top of my list.

[RamZar]

Good to see the ATR coming back!

[swigert]

I wand around and into Spyderco for the first ATR. Does it need to be held and used to see the brilliance?

Video and pics aren't selling me.

Similar ergos to a Para 2 or maybe a Superleaf, the original was kind of epic because of the Ti frame compression lock. The cobra hood is usually a love it or hate it ordeal. I like it for variety, and it does enhance blade deployment and thumb comfort.

[farnorthdan]

Out of the three big pieces, Tighe Stick, Mamba and ATR, I definitely like the ATR the best, that thing is a beast. I think I will hold out for that one.

[v8r]

I'm down for the sprint run Rock Salt. I have kicked myself for not getting the original. Not to mention a handle with color this time!

[BTG]

Add the new version of the rubicon and the ATR to the already lengthy list....sage 5 looks good except for wire clip...got the Mantra and Positron...just can't warm to those clips...Hopefully the Shaman stays stamped like the PM2.

Please Spyderco make the ATR a regular production model. It should be popular enough for production and then future sprints in cool steels and handle materials!

[MechEng_5]

I also agree with you guys on the Sage 5. The Sage 1 was my first Spyderco and I fell in love with the brand after that. I like the shape of the blade and the size of the knife overall. Seeing the 5 really makes me want to complete a Sage collection. My only issue is I am not a fan of the Sage 4. Something about the split wood titanium just is not for me.

An even closer look at some of the new models, including the Nirvana:

Small Vollaton. Interesting.
