The silence is deafening. I'm thinking this one is a ways off.

Re: Advocate release?
There's a pic of the Advocate on the new Spyderco website under the NEW section. It's not actually listed as a new model. It's a banner display.
Re: Advocate release?
I am ready but I doubt it happens this year.
Re: Advocate release?
Yay! Just saw the November Byte and the Advocate is featured. Won't be long now.

The all-new Spyderco Advocate represents a new direction in folding knife design from Gayle Bradley. It reflects his recent focus on more tactically oriented knives while maintaining all the key qualities and attributes that make his designs so special.
Like many of Bradley’s coveted custom knives, the Advocate's blade is precision machined from CPM® M4—a high-performance particle metallurgy tool steel renowned for its extreme edge-holding ability. The full-flat-ground, PlainEdged™ blade includes a fully functional Trademark Round Hole™ for traditional one-handed opening methods, as well as a prominent index-finger flipper that also functions as a lower guard when the blade is open. Special friction-reducing ball-bearing washers on each side of the blade’s pivot ensure an ultra-smooth action and lightning-quick deployment regardless of the opening method used.
The Advocate’s distinctive handle consists of two painstakingly machined solid titanium scales. Their outer surfaces are carefully radiused to provide a comfortable, ergonomic grip and treated with a stunning “orange peel” texture that is both visually appealing and provides a subtle non-slip texture. The reverse-side scale is machined to create a high-strength Reeve Integral Lock (R.I.L.) mechanism that is complemented by a hardened stainless steel interface. The interface ensures long-wearing, steel-on-steel contact between the lock face and blade ramp and also serves as an overtravel stop to preserve the lock bar’s proper spring tension. To minimize weight, the handle boasts an open-backed construction style that also simplifies cleaning and maintenance. A reversible hourglass clip provides convenient left or right-side tip-up carry and guarantees that the Advocate is always poised and ready for action.
A spectacular reflection of Gayle Bradley’s latest design and knifemaking efforts, the Advocate is also a proud new addition to the Spyderco family of flipper-opening folders.

Re: Advocate release?
I didn't realize the lockbar has a steel interface so that's more good news.
