The Neck Needle is non-metallic w/ a diamond cross-section & was available at the NYC show. When I spoke to Newt in re: the Zipper, he told me that it was not in "production" yet. The Zipper is made from the leftover steel when the new Woo (w/ the thumb ridges on the spine) is produced. (note: the G-45 was a result of the old Woo production process- the little "lobe" or guard fits perfectly the finger cutout on the Woo- check it out yourself if you own both.) Waste not, want not- it's nice to see that kind of innovation. The G-45 turned out to be a nice little knife- made from scrap- so let's see how the Zipper works out.
