New Spydies for 2008/2009 - Amsterdam Meet Report with pics

Rocklobster
CF Native4
G-10 Police
CPM-D2 Paramilitary

I don't think I've ever been more interested in so many designs at one time from any knife company... hats off to Sal and Company for releasing so many new/updated designs!
 
RockLobster, Police, and Native are all on my want list now. Any pics or info about the Tuff Folder?

Actually, I'm not that famliar with the Ayoob. This Khukri folder was surprisingly lightweight to me. It didn't point like an MBC knife to me, if that makes any sense, more like an ultra-ergonomic utility folder. THe handle doesn't lock in you grip as say a Native or Li'l Temp.

Thanks for the input, I supose I'll have to hold one myself to see. How long do you think the cutting edge is on this one?
 
I just keep going back and looking at the Sage!! Man that is a knife, and Now I've got one on pre-order, even if it isn't due 'til September!!:eek:

How does the BaliYo lock Closed / Open?
 
The native IV and Lum both look great, and spendy:):(

hopefully there will be an FRN version of that native.

It doesn't actually. The arms kind of fall in place when it's closed, so you can write with it without problems, but there are no actual detents or anything. Writing is done when the BaliYo is closed, you might slightly open the arms to twist the nib and expose the tip and write.

I'm saddened that there were no pics of the "Tuff Concept"... Maybe if I hold my breath until I turn blue, Sal will throw us a bone.
 
Is spyderco going to avoid getting fined this time for the smallfly?
And I've gotta say how much I love the native IV.

Two of those new Police(s) for me!! One to keep "stock," one to be waved. At long last, my dream for an ambi Police seems to be coming true.

This one's for you Carlos!

Despite the ideas some may have, after waiting for about 2,5 years, the Bob Lum ZDP Chinese Folder is still on track! Here's the evidence, a real deal living production prototype! It was a sad day when I heard of Bob Lum's passing, but this is a tiny fitting tribute to this gifted designer.

The blade is indeed full ZDP 189. The almite finish felt rougher than the previous Chinese Folders.

PLEASE let me know when the Chinese Folder is releasing again!!!
 
The barong, new Police (Police definitely!!!!) and baliyo are definitely on my list!
.....Spyderco is starting to take all my money...
 
The Jumpmaster looks very serviceable and it's great to see Spyderco working with the trigger pullers. I suspect a version with sharpened tip will come out soon for those who'd rather have/need it.

Jon, I thought I was the only one who was getting excited about that one:). It seems like an ideal size for the office/sheeple environment. Looks comfortable too.
