A few spyderco prototype videos from IWA

I thought you did a Vid of the Dyad at Shot as well, or were those just pictures?

Those were just pictures from the Amsterdam Meet. At SHOT I filmed the Karahawk, Domino, Equilibrium, Jot Singh Khalsa and the Matriarch with Emerson Opener.

I saved the Chaparral 3 for the last video I shot at the IWA show. This knife is one of my favorites and Eric Glesser was kind enough to help me shoot this video. Although I have no concrete info, I'm guessing this won't be a cheap knife. I suspect the handle on this Chaparral 3 takes a lot of machining time, and with those close tolerances, it can't be cheap. In my opinion, the stepped titanium pattern is even nicer in persan than in video or pictures. The ergos were great too, no sharp edges where they shouldn't be.

I got some extra info from Spyderco on this knife. The Serrata will feature a full flat grind in production, not the appleseed grind Eric discusses on this prototype. I added this comment to the video.

That saved me some money. Usually only use convex ground knives outdoors
