What are the specs on the Chinook II?

[shootist16]

I just saw a Chinook II mentioned in the general forum. What are the differences between it and the first Chinook?

 

[Carlos]

The primary change is a new blade profile which is closer to the profile of the original Chinook proto. Also, it comes with two clips and will be tip-up/down ambidextrous.

Despite my efforts to avoid buying more Spydies, I can see that this will be another "must buy!"

I second that.
Carlos, any specs on the weight, size, blade length?
I've forgotten whether the blade is longer or shorter. I know that Sal had put it on a diet though. I hope it's a lot of G10 goodness with the Chinook II

 

[glockman99]

Are there any pictures of this new Chinook II that can be posted here?

 

[Carlos]

Not until after January 1.

 

[Sal Glesser]

The new Chinook is about 2 oz lighter than the original.

Sal,

How about the blade steel...is it to be changed to VG-10? Did I just imagine that I had heard that?

Thanks, and Happy New Year - Jeff/1911.

Yes. It will come with two different clips for this.

Ok, I don't mind brown-nosing (SP.?) multiple Spydiepersons.

Can someone that has the 2003 catalog post a pic? I haven't gotten my catalog yet and I/m dying to know what she looks like.

 

[Rorschach]

Ask and ye shall receive.

 

[shootist16]

Holy cow!!!!

I think I'm in love.

That looks so much better than the original. I've gotta get one of these.

 

[shootist16]

I guess the next question will be what is the projected release date? Are we going to see these sooner or later?

Hmmm tough decisons ahead.
