Upcoming Spyderco Folders from Japan

[hank_rearden]

funny, i voted for the firefly and roc. that makes me a typical spyderco fan. confirmed.

 

[pomelly]

I voted Kiwi, because I love the return of the back-lock and VG10, ergonomics is indisputable, the new FFG blade... My perfect EDC, I'll take it certainly.
I also hope for new colors in the future

 

[rexromic]

Firefly looks great.

 

[narcoleptic]

Torn between the Kiwi and the Roc. The Roc just looks cool!

 

[mesoscopic]

I will be on the lookout for the Firefly if it hits the stores.

Orange handle and CF bolster provides for visibility and a touch of class to the design.

Besides, I think it's one of the Spydercos with its blade almost enclosed by the handle which I much prefer for aesthetic reasons.

 

[whetrock]

The profile of the Kiwi 4's Wharncliffe blade strike me as useful, also the G-10, while taken for granted by some in the midst of CF is a very practical scale material , I think it'd be a superb EDC.

 

[Spyderco_Sharp_S30v]

I wish that battlestation had a cpm 3v blade or s35vn, then it would be a beast

 

[Swigert]

Honestly none stand out to me as must haves.

 

[Cisco Kid]

The only sure one for me is the Kiwi 4, although the blue G-10 shown in the prototype looks much better than the choice of black for the final production. Perhaps I'll wait for a special edition in blue instead of jumping on the black version right away. As far as the other models, I'll have to see them in person before making a final judgement. Usually, pics alone simply do not do justice to the quality of the knives.

 

[Random Dan]

I'm not gonna lie, that Firefly looks sweet. If it's priced under $150 (street price) I'll probably wind up buying one.

 

[allyourblood]

I've been very excited for the new Kiwi, but the price just absolutely breaks my heart. I imagine it's potentially justified by all the costs involved, but the early price I'm seeing on them now means I probably won't buy one. Nowadays, a good portion of my Spyderco collection comes from clearances on discontinued models, and used knives bought from places like BFC. For better or for worse, I'll be patiently waiting for the Kiwi from one of the aforementioned sources.

The Roc looks cool but I can't tell how practical it will be. I'll probably have to try one in a couple years if/when the price better fits my budget.

 

[AddictedToGear]

The Bob Terzuola design stands out to me, but I think I rather see one of his designs from a different company like Benchmade. I rather see a titanium handle and no Spydie hole on his design, the double bevel is very attractive though.

[SolidState]

The next spyder I'm getting from Japan will probably be an introvert, but I will end up with a Kiwi once I can put the hump back on it.

 

[TDOG1]

Definitely get the Kiwi, if the Firefly isn't overpriced will be in for that as well.

 

[Heathen619]

Dont really like any of them...
HOW CAN YOU CALL SOMETHING WITH UNDER A 3" BLADE BATTLE ANYTHING!

 

[TouchOfRed]

Firefly, yummy !

 

[blame it on god]

I voted for the ROC. I like the design. It is different.

 

[Charlie Mike]

I'll take 2X of the Roc and Tatanka... and wave them.

 

[Invective]

I'll take 2X of the Roc and Tatanka... and wave them.

Waving the Roc? That seems like it'll be a challenge, you're gonna have to grind away a lot of blade to get a good wave placement Tatanka will look nice though, can't wait to see that one
