Ah, but I remember some traditionals with screw pivots getting the traditional nod.
They just won't accept a Spyderco as traditional in that sub-forum...just the way it goes.
Oh boy, the sub forum will explode then. Sal and Eric are considering Traditional styled slip-its as requested by forumites.
It's an active new thread: https://www.spyderco.com/forumII/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=66191
Just an excerpt:
The Roadie is a test of the double-dent opening system. Eric is using small holes for opening the alternate blades on his designs. (He's created a few really nice designs. Many protos and much refinement. Very functional).
Let's suppoe that the double-dent is well received, do you think there would be interest in a Stockman folder with double-dents to pen the blades instead of nail nicks? I believe that they save space, but I really don't think nail nicks are a user friendly solution to opening a folding knife.

If it happens, get ready to see grown men cry... And if you like that sort of thing, get your popcorn ready.
If a Spyderco slip joint Stockman becomes a reality, the whole forum will suffer an irreversible meltdown.![]()

Ahhh..... but (and this is a thread tangent ) isn't almost 34 years of pocket clip, one-hand-opening, single blade, modern materials almost traditional? By definition?
Really, we have a couple of generations of kids knowing this type as Dad's and even Grandpa's knife.
I made that exact argument.
Probably part of the reason I am unofficially shunned.![]()

Ya, even I wouldn't mention that in that sub forum. I can respect boundries.

Oooooo..... yellow frn ,H1, with Spyder edge. I'll take two.I'd like to see Spyderco come up with a Barlow knife and call it a Sparlow![]()

I guess.... but it would be a great companion to my yellow delrin Schrade large stockman I bought new in the mid 80's.Aw gee...perhaps the yellow FRN and H1 steel would be acceptable, but a SpyderEdge would have the traditionalist's breaking out the Jonestown flavored Kool-Aid. How about we leave out the serrations?![]()
I like it, but whats the price point? That will determine if I buy it. Definitley cool looking though
