Spyderco Dodo

[trane fan]

Is it true that Spyderco is coming out with a model called the Dodo? If so, what are the stats? Does anyone have pictures? What is the release date?

According to this thread, it will have the new ball bearing lock.

They say it has quite an unusual shape, but the knife is great. And I tend to believe it

Its hard to discribe.Very strange shape.reverse s blade.IMO it almost looks like a folding spot.

Sounds interesting. What is the projected date of release?

The blade does resemble the SPOT blade, but the handle is large, and it uses a new locking system. I handled one at the Spirit of Steel Show, and am glad to hear the handle will be G-10. I plan to order one as soon as they are available.
