Dyad Prototype Pictures

James Mattis · Jul 9, 1999

Here are a full size Dyad and a lightweight Mini Dyad. On the latter, you should visualize serrations on the sheepfoot. No clip on the lightweight - true pocket knife.

Ahh the full size!

I have wanted one ever since I first laid eyes on the mini.

Veeery nice!
One question for Spyderco crew. What is
the purpose for the cresent cutouts on
the lock releases? Are they just something
that will exist only on this prototype?

Ahhh, they look very nice to me, thanks for the look, James.

How comfortable are these in hand assuming one blade is left in?

Does anyone know why no clips on the Lightweight? Other than that, WOW!

Thanx for the pics James.

Ken - the "David Boye" style cutout in the lock bar is to prevent accidental lock release. They will be the same on the production version.

Cliff - Grip is compromised. We paid a lot of attention to this, but it is a new area for us. I'm sure we'll refine as time goes on, but the blade that is left in the handle becomes the new handle.
