Spyderco Amsterdam Meet 2017 Report

[Liquid Cobra]

I'm giddy for that Jess Horn.

It strikes a very nice balance between classic and modern. These photos tipped me over the edge. I'll be getting one.

Me too. I'm thinking it will be the perfect second knife to carry daily. Prob clipless. Hopefully it fits in a coin pocket. I know it will on TAD jeans. Not sure about others.

LC I agree with your earlier post, I've been wondering he same thing?

I agree on the classic-modern thing. This one might be an impulse buy for me.

If the alphabetical order is the way they are going I can't wait to see the Manix 2 Backlock coming up!

[Liquid Cobra]

After K comes L. Hoping for a tanto from Mr. Lum :)

[KingRat]

Hoping we see the Chinook 4 at dealers soon now that the D'allara has dropped. This one has been many years coming.

Thanks Sal. Thanks for the nice tools.

The Lil’ Lum sprint run with blue nishijin was one of my favorite knives at the meet. The Chinese Folder design is one my longtime favorites in the Spyderco line-up and this small Lum is a really nice gent’s knife that’s even passably lefty-friendly. The blue nishijin is a nice accent for a gent’s knife like this. I’m happy to note that, as I write this, I already got my own blue nishijin Lil’ Lum. So this one can be crossed off the wish list!

The Lil’ Nilakka will be the first knife Spyderco will only make as a flashbatch, and I’m sure they’ll move fast. The little knife was a bit blocky in the hand, but by no means awkward to hold or operate. It is a hefty little folder though, which is similar –to me- like the full size Nilakka. Pekka seems to prefer hefty strong folders, even when they’re small and elegant like the lil’ Nilakka. I’m looking forward to the release of this cool little knife.

The regular Vallotton sub-hilt did not appeal to me at all; too big, too narrow, too heavy. The Lil’ Sub-Hilt however, felt just right in my hand. It reminds me of the vintage Al Mar folders I like so much.































Specifications
Overall Length: 19 cm / 7.48 inches
Blade Length: 8 cm / 3.14 inches

One of my favorite Spyderco knives from the time I really started to get into the brand was the Lil’ Temperance. So I was excited to see an updated concept model float by at the various Amsterdam Meets over the past 10 years. Finally, the Lil’ Temperance 3 has made it to production. As a purist I regret to see that the new Lil’ Temp does not sport that 3D handle anymore. However, I now can get a proper left-handed version. The grip and feel is very close to the original. Even if it comes in basic black, this is on the top of my wish list!



























Specifications
Overall Length: 18,3 cm / 7.19 inches
Blade Length: 7,4 cm / 2.90 inches
Blade Thickness: 4 mm / 0.15 inches
Weight: 113 grams / 4 ounces

Really like todays "Lil' Update!" All of these are on my wish list! Really hoping I can snag myself a Lil' Nilakka when they drop, and they don't go too fast!

[Mr Blonde]

I’m a sucker for Ladybugs, Jesters and the Manbug. So this salt version of the Manbug with a sheepfoot blade is a no-brainer. The tag at the meet said Manbug Sheepfoot, so I’m going with that, even though the catalog lists it as both the Manbug Salt and Manbug Rescue Salt. Whatever the name, this little folder is a must-have for me!
