Ok folks, let's try this again. This is a thread for ACTUAL rumors, not your dream knife. Here's a list of what I've found over in the Spyderco forum thread "Sal's Casual Bombshell." Please, let's keep this thread accurate.

Slip joint Chaparral, I think in FRN
A large version of the Dragonfly
A large version of the Kiwi

Super Blue Dragonfly
Redesigned D'allara drop point
Jot Singh Khalsa Sprint in G10
Salsa Sprint, possibly without the cobra hood
Karambit, new inhouse design
 
Oh yeah, a folding mini cleaver. I've tried looking this one up again but can't find any info on it so I might be making it up! Anyone else heard of this?
 
Thanks for the link. That looks great. I wonder how far off that one is.
 
There has been lots of discussion on British Blades about a Native SlipIt. There are pictures floating around of a prototype in orange G10. No information on release dates...

Confession!
There will not be a chisel ground Spyderco folder.
But, there shud be!! :D
 
Kram115, I like this thread already!

I am very interested in the discussed plans for the Native series. There's the Native5 FRN, and also the Native Chief which is a bigger Native5 with a. 3.5+ inch blade. Im drooling over the Ti Native5 coming out soon also. Native5's an excellent platform for sprintruns in my opinion.

Yojimbo2 and Manix2XL is receiving the S90v carbon fiber treatment, it should be made official in january.

An upgraded steel Tenacious line has been discussed. An American made quality steel is desired, perhaps CTS-BD1. Im curious how this project is moving along.

I read that Sal would like to come out with "the mother of super blue sprints" where a number of models get the steel. Dfly, Stretch, Delica, Endura, and Caly3 are the candidates. It is a matter of how much of the steel they can get/have that would be the limiting factor. Caly3 SB was discussed at least since June and has come into fruition.
 
I'm very excited about the super blue sprints. I decided to get the Lum Tanto sprint instead of the SB Caly 3.5. I still regret it. The Dfly is becoming my "mule" folder. Have all the steel variations and can't wait to add the SB to them!
