Passing on some Spyderco Tuff Release info...

[KBar666]

If anyone else here is interested in the Spyderco Tuff I recently found out from spyderco that it will not be released until 2012, so Just fiqured I'd pass it on and save some guys the trouble of searching.

Cool. I figured it wouldn't be out this year.

 

[The Mastiff]

Not a problem for me. I'm about spent out for this year. Finn the mastiff has had an expensive year health wise. Besides, it will give you time to increase the pivot size to double extra strong. I can only imagine the you tube "tests" this one will inspire.

Cool, thanks for the info.

Can that frame lock really be stronger than a BBL? I have immense respect for Ed, and he's just a great guy in general, but it's hard to imagine a stronger lock than the ball bearing.

 

[hardheart]

No, the frame lock is not stronger. Sal has already stated the findings from their lock testing in that the frame lock and liner lock don't reach the same rating as the BBL, lockback, or compression lock (very heavy duty). The Tuff is now a frame lock because an integral compression lock is hard to manufacture. Here's hoping that's why it isn't coming out til 2012, because they're going to give us a very heavy duty lock and then the Tuff will have a lock stronger than the Military and Endura.

 

[dcycleman]

I'll take the frame lock

 

[Popsickle]

Ill take the framelock all day long. My strider smf hs it and its tough as nails

 

[Charlie Mike]

I'd buy a folder that size with an integral compression lock (ATR).

 

[Burke]

I'm excited for Spyderco's take on a beefy folder but this design doesn't really excite me. Will have to wait and see what the final draft looks like.

You called it CM.

I like the design but the angle of the handle has proven to be a problem for me in the past.
