I went to check savsons site a couple minutes ago and to my surprise, there were four new spydercos on the spyderco page, the Captain, Lava, Micro dyad, and the ZDP Lum chinese folder. They are not on sale right know so i was just wondering if anyone knows when they will be available. I don't know about you guys but that captain is my favourite design from spyderco by far, but i has to be a major pain in the ass to sharpen i gotta have one of those. What do you think about em ?
 
I like the new Lum, but they can go pound sand on their asking price.
 
Love the micro dyad - wish it were in zdp-189 - heck, I wish all of their knives had a zdp-189 option.
 
Caly 3 - August
Lava - August
Captain - August
Lum ZDP - Around Christmas time
Lum Black Almite sprint run - February
Micro Dyad - October

No guarantees. These are Spyderco's estimates. Actually they estimated the Lava for July but that didn't happen. Take care.
 
Like the Lava, Love the Captain, and I'm intrigued by the Lum. I'd rather wait until the secondary market and let someone else take the retail hit, though. The new Kershaw knives are the only ones with a shot at me buying from a retailer at this point.
 
Spyderco has a lot of sprints coming soon as well. Theres a carbonfiber military coming soon with a BG42 blade.

$199 for the ZDP Lum actually sounds like a fair price to me. It is not a Delica and those are selling for about $100. I would say the Chinese is worth twice what the Delica is worth. When you consider that the old style PE VG-10 Chinese was going for nearly $200 on E-bay, I think it is a bargin.
 
The Lum is a super cool folder...I've always loved it but never could get my hands on one....I might go ahead and give it a shot. Too bad there's no compression lock variant in the works.

200 does seem a bit steep, but I don't think it's too far off the mark. 140 would have been ideal for me...but hey, a super knife with a super steel, and highly collectable. Can't complain too much.

I think the lava is going to be a real hit in the subtactical area. That just looks great and looks really ergonomic. I wish we could get it in G10/titanium framelock for thin and lightness, as I'm not a huge SS fan, but, hey, can't have everything.

I initially was repulsed by the captain, but it's been growing on me a lot. I actually think it's spyder beautiful now....rather doubt I'll buy it though.

Gotta get the CALY 3 ASAP!! HURRY UP!!
I agree but there is a part of me that wants it to not come out right away...That is because I just got a dodo. I LOVE IT, but dont want the Caly 3 to take away the spotlight for the time being.:D
