Yojimbo 2 Video

Curious as to what the price will be, but that's never stopped me.

Looks like a helluva slicer with that clean Hollow Grind/wharncliffe blade!

Oh. My. God.

When I started the thread of which 3 knives I'd like Spyderco to bring back, the Yojimbo was my #3. And the Yojimbo 2 is looks even better than the original! I can't wait for this one to come out so that I can buy one (or two...).

And now Spyderco, on to remaking the Ayoob and the Kris and I'll be as happy as I can be! :)
 
Put me down for 2.The original and a sprint.

It's right up my alley.It has the deep high hollow grind like the gayle
bradley.Great slicer/ cutter.

ETA???

Michael Janich had the prototype at his annual MBC Camp last summer. Back then he told us they were hoping for Spring or Summer 2011. I read on Bluesheepdog.com (they posted the video on Youtube) the following:

.The Spyderco Yojimbo 2 is a new self defense knife designed by martial artist and Martial Blade Concepts innovator Michael Janich. The knife debuted at SHOT Show 2011, with Spyderco founder Sal Glesser delivering a prototype the day before the show. Mr. Janich gave us an in-depth look at the design changes he made to the original Yojimbo to improve the new knife’s performance.



The Yojimbo 2 has a 3 ¼” wharncliff blade of CPM-S30V stainless steel, which is hollow ground. It wears black, textured G-10 scales and has torx screw construction. The blade is well secured via Spyderco’s compression lock. No MSRP was available at the show, but we were told the much anticipated knife should begin shipping in the 4th Quarter of 2011.

i would guess a pricepoint around what the previous one sold for...

did you get to handle it at all? 4th Q 2011 sucks, but ill be patient.

it looks almost like a Snody folder
 
Oh yeah, I got to handle it! Mike let us examine it several times last summer. It is built much stronger than the original and in a word it is just SOLID.
 
Thanks for the link. I love the first one, though sadly don't own it. Every time I see one for sale, it is too much for me to spend. Depending on how much this one is, I'll be being a few lol. They seem to sold their value very well.
 
Will these be a regular production piece? I just bought a Black Yo and can't wait for this one to come out.
 
Thats freaking awsome.. I have wanted a yojimbo for some time and it looks like I will be able to get one now. Thanks for the link
