Orange dodo?! Tell me more!

 

[berserk87]

Is this a sure thing? I can't recall having heard if the orange Dodo was going to be produced. If it is, then I'm in line for one.

I dont know where you guys have been......

Orange dodo has been sold out for the past 3 weeks! They went QUICK!















Just joking, I recall Sal saying that Eric was working on a new model. No ETA though.

they were released but I had pre-ordered the entire batch. Sorry

Dang urban legend Spydie threads are always getting my hopes up.

I'm fine with just a re-release of the Dodo. Don't wanna pay secondary market prices on it. However I would so love stainless or titanium handles ala Poliwog

How 'bout an orange Poliwog??? :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Any possibility that this one will feature the CBBL instead of the regular ball bearing lock?

Orange Spydercos are always cool by me

Orange Poliwog would definitely be a whole lot better than the black G10 of current. But I ain't gonna lie, shiny Poliwog (stainless handle or better yet... titanium) makes me happy every time I use/play it

Don't wanna sound like an ignoramus, whats a CBBL? BBL is ball bearing lock but what's the C inna front?

Caged Ball Bearing Lock, like on the Manix-2, instead of the ball bearing lock that just has the bare bearing.

Ah, should have guessed but mind kept thinking composite instead of caged

Me I prefer big balls Never did quite fell in love with the current itty bitty balls. I personally enjoy opening and closing my D'Allara, Phoenix and Poliwog one handed while doing stuff, never could manage with my Manix 2.

But the CBBL has the advantage where since the ball's smaller then the space taken is less therefore the blade/handle design is not so dependent in fitting the huge ball bearing. What I'm saying is that the CBBL gives more options for Spyderco to play with the designing the ergos for example.

As I said before, if Spyderco replaced the small bb of the CBBL with a rod ala Axis then the liners and backspacer can contribute to the strength as well. With the rod design if under combination loads where there is a force trying to defeat the lock and some lateral flex force, the blade tang will still be under the rod. The CBBL of the Manix 2 under Ankerson's testing went sideways so the bb went to the side of the blade tang.

Imagine, a helical spring powered Axis type lock. I'll buy it.

Man can't wait to see the new Dodo with it's refinements!

Count me in on this one!
