Kershaw 1630TIZDP

Love the idea of a high end cyclone, though I would prefer a high end Junk Yard Dawg with speed-safe.

Are we the only two with a vision?!?!?!? Now seriously.... lets have a high end Junk Yard Dawg!!!! Ti frame lock, laminated ZDP, milled graphics.... c'mon!!!!

:thumbup:

I'd even be happy with a S30V, speed-safe, and frame or studlock

But ZDP and Ti would sure be nice... The shape of that dawg is by far my favorite Kershaw.

Why not studlock, really? It is way better then framelock! ZDP+Titanium+Studlock, will be winner for sure.

Thanks, Vassili.

I say Thomas, you struck gold with the ZDP Ti Framelock leek, My girlfriend bought this for me this time and I love it!!

Why do it again with this knife? Either way, it's gotta be a framelock.

Stronger, slimmer, lighter right?

Keep up the great work!

Unknownroad, Robert, I think the flipper on the JYD will be very smooth, like the Seagal. My Seagal is as fast as my AOs, but I do LOVE the SpeedSafe and wish the Seagal had it.

I look forward to the ZDP Cyclone and maybe Thomas W could let us do a knife pass around with one of the prototypes.? I'll go make a thread in that forum...

I think carbon fiber and a studlock would be very nice!

If we’re going to talk about up and coming knives what about the Groove?

I think this design is way too fancy to leave alone, an S30V SS handle or ZDP-189 Ti version would be awesome.

I agree Joshua, I prefer looks of the the JYD and the Groove to the Cyclone. Hoping the high-end versions come with speed-safe The groove would look great with carbon fiber scales as well.

ThomasW,
I'd buy the textured G10 version because a textured G10 handle simply feels great and very secure in the hand. This would be a user for me so i'd rate the G10 higher than the titanium handle. A textured G10/textured titanium handle like on the ZT framelock would be great too but I never had any problems with my Blur's liner lock so i'd choose the more afordable G10 liner lock version over the Ti/G10-framelock version if there is a real price difference ($100 is real enough). The only reason why i didn't buy a Mini Cyclone yet is the slick aluminium handle without any inlays so i doubt i'd buy an untextured titanium handle eighter.

To blade steel i'd say 154CM, but any good steel would do, it should be a user steel though and nothing too hard and brittle.

The Cyclone is only available eighter way larger or a little smaller than my Blur which i consider to have the perfect EDC size for me, so i'd go with the smaller Mini Cyclone for EDC. If i would also buy a large G10 Cyclone would probably depend on how the textured G10 Cyclone handle compares with the ergonomics of the Spec Bump.

Thank you for listening to us customers! I hope your prototypes are working out good and we'll be able to see pictures soon.

I agree! If its over $200, I'll never own it anyway, so I would prefer to sacrifice the frame-lock for the great steel and actually afford the knife.

why not a SS-framelock as the vapor?
would stay in a reasonable pricerange.
Just my 2 Swiss cents.

best, Patrick

Ti framelock and zdp blade for the mini cyclone, colored G10 for the large. I don't know exactly what's being 'compromised' by any combination.
