New Flipper - the Spyderco Dice

Is it just me, or is that wide blade look a little stubby being so short.
I think the domino is just right for that blade shape, but making it shorter without slimming down the blade looks odd to me.
 
It's not only you. I don't know what the idea is behind it. IMHO a wide blade shape has limited usability. I have a Ka-Bar Dozier Hunter folder. Wide 3" blade. It's stout for hell but is clumsy when to comes to delicate tasks like boning meat joints.

Do you mean wide or thick? To me, the Hunter has a thick blade, but I wouldn't consider it wide. I'm a newbie, so maybe I'm confusing the terminology.
 
No not stock thickness. Blade depth. It's too deep for say caping where a slim blade like a Leek will excel.
 
i could go for either larger or smaller. I have migrated an unhealthy infatuation with watches to an unhealthy infatuation of flipper knives...
 
I actually seem to prefer smaller knives, so I'll probably get this. Maybe I'll get the Domino at the same time and just keep my favorite. I agree with all of the people saying small Southard though. Man that would be sweet. I saw some of Brad Southards customs which are smaller knives, they looked fantastic. Perfect EDC is under 3 inches for me. I need to be able to use the knife in front of people who aren't knife knuts. Most of the time if you flick out a 4 inch blade, people tend to make comments.
 
The idea is growing on me. I love my domino's and I think the dragonfly2 is the perfect small knife. So I'm definitely going to be picking one of these up. Maybe two if there is going to be a blue weave CF like the domino.

I'd still like a larger domino though.
 
This would be good for staying legal in areas with length restrictions... Plus it seems like a perfect companion to the Domino
 
One of these days I will get a Spyderco flipper.
I really can't bring myself to do that right now because my mind tells me that Spydies are not meant to have flippers.

Maybe I will give the Dice a try when it comes out?
Then if I like it I will probably want a Southard and Domino too.
I am already at more than a dozen and can see no end in sight.
