Very cool. It took me a few minutes of thinking to realize that the "sharpkeeper" wasn't a sharpening tool of some sort. For the life of me, I couldn't figure out how those worked until the lightbulb went off and I felt silly and laughed at myself.

The PM2 Salt is cool, but I’d be a lot more excited if it was a lightweight.

Agreed! When I first saw it I assumed it was FRN and would definitely buy it if it was a lightweight. I’ll probably pass since it is G10. Exciting to see magnacut come to a PM2 either way though. Thanks for the pictures!

That's likely an oversight on my part, I'm fighting a flu at the same time.

Well that was fun. Short, but fun.

Maybe my memory is playing tricks on me, but I recall these threads revealing a lot more knives, and different knives we'd never seen before, in the past.

You have that correct, unless my memory is playing the same trick on me.

After the reveal catalogs were implemented, it seems like what we see shared here on the forums from the Amsterdam meet is primarily what we’ve already been shown in some capacity before.

I kind of feel the same way.

Well that really is all of the knives we are allowed to talk about. They only thing i can say without breaking that rule is in comparison to the other meets i went to in the past there were almost the same amount of designs maybe a few less but not much.
So do not worry the pipe is still as full as it was in the past. But do remember all factorys are at capacity for a long time now so its not easy for spyderco to make new stuff...

Are all attendees briefed on what they can and can’t share from the meet? Is handwritten note taking allowed? Are you able to share names of designers they’re collaborating with or general ideas of new designs they’re working on?

The pipe may be full, but is it filled with anything that’s actually new? Or is it a pipe full of existing knives with different size and blade shape variations?

I wonder if the capacity issues they’re facing stem from constantly producing so many unnecessary variants of the same knives. Is it really necessary to have five different versions of Lil Native? That’s just one of the numerous examples of redundancies in their catalog. This whole production capacity issue really feels like a product of their own doing. They’re spread way too thin and can’t even keep up with their own catalog.
