Question for the Spyderco Gurus
- Thread starter Miketm
- Start date
Due dates are always final with Spyderco.....once you see them at your dealers.
The Captain I saw at the A'dam and IWA shows was definitely presented as a pre-production proto, so they will go into production. It could very well take a few more months, but that's always done to make sure the knife comes out good.

Wow, kinda interesting looking .. I was thinking (once my money is straight) of getting a spyderco Manix . but myabe this guy might be the one.
Is that an edge on the top? I like it there, but when it folds in, I can't see how it could be safely covered by the handle. Dose anyone have experience hadling this thing?
What are the specs?

The edge 'on top', is a false edge and non-sharpened. The blade is about 3 to 3,5 inches long and it's a linerlock design with left/right tip-down clip mount options. I remember it as a much lighter knife as my favorite Mini Manix. Other than that, and the blade design, it's the same overall dimensions as the mini Manix.

A quote from Joyce's press release on the Spyderco Forum here.
-------------
"All eyes were on knife designer Jason Breedens knives at a recent knife show; hypnotically drawn to a folder with a blade shape unlike anything knife enthusiasts has previously seen. The lower half of the blade was curved like a Hawkbill blade but its tip was bulb-like, perched on top the curved portion like a head on a neck. When someone asked the designer about it, he replied, My designs are born from need I have experienced. I live in the Appalachian Mountains and am regularly outdoors or in water. A recurve blade has cutting advantages in water but I also wanted a strong tip for outdoor applications. A Spyderco Round Hole was added and the Spyderco/Jason Breeden Captain came to be. The blades unusual shape in effect creates two opposing cutting angles one curving inward, one out. The inward curve holds onto what is being cut keeping it in contact with the sharp edge, ideal for downward and pulling cuts such as rope and line. The outward curved cutting edge bulges out at the blades tip for close in controlled cutting like skinning, whittling and horizontal slicing moving the wrist."
