This post seriously just made my night. God bless you and this golden post.It's one of those "only Spyderco" types of knives.
Some dude in Taiwan was like, "I want to make a folding knife version of my favorite local pit viper." And Spyderco was like:

yea it really bothers me when they go out of their way to use a hole as the opening method. the tighe stick would be beautiful without that stupid hump. I get that the hole is their thing, but seriously its kind of petty the way they choose to put it on al their knives. It makes a lot of knives ugly and difficult to carry.I think the ugliest Spydercos are the ones where the Spyderhole creates a massive hump on the blade. Especially when the model is based on a custom that was attractive in its original form. I'm thinking of knives like the Tighe Stick and the Vallotton.
And while I'm picking on Spyderco, I also don't like many of their shrunken designs because they don't seem to make them narrower proportionally. They start with a wide blade and then shorten it so it becomes very stubby looking. I'm thinking of knives like the Dice, Lil' Lum and Para3.
@panoz77 I don't want to click and enlarge that ... does that even have an edge on it?
You gotta add his 2018 SHOT Show editions embellished with the actually meshing gears!!!!Lol it looks like some cheap dinosaur themed TacForce. Actually its a Hinderer Jurassic, oooooooooh!!!!
I think this simpler one turned out better.

Im posting way too many times in a row, but I feel i need to share, This is actually a knife I made. I shamelessly admit that it came out ugly as hell but I thought it looked cool and is very functional. (The guy that bought also seemed to really love the looks of it.) Im also going to post the first knife I ever made because it was Really REALLY UGLY.

And almost a year ago this little gem was borne XD XD (also behind it, that is the sheath. two pieces of a leather belt that I wrapped in duck tape![]()
I was told that before that it looked like the ronin!I actually think the first knife you posted is kinda cool. I think with a little polish and love it would look even better. Kind of reminds me of a mini Spyderco Ronin.
A slipjoint with a wave? That's gonna work great...

Eh ... No worse than the "One Arm" blade that's been around since the 1860's.A slipjoint with a wave? That's gonna work great...
~Chip
True.Yeah, but you have WAY more leverage on a "One arm" knife...this one would have to have a pull around 1-2 for it to be waveable.

I was trying to determine if it was a lockback with some sort of hidden lock. I think not. It might be built for some European country with weird laws?

Huh? How do you depress the lockbar with no cutout in the liners or scales?
