Orange Dodo sprint! Please

[brj]

I'm in :)

[jabba359]

I thought that it would be fun to come up with other Dodo colors, so here's a few that I came up with. Please excuse me if any of these have actually seen production.

[jabba359]

And here's a few more...

[mark greenman]

I'd be down. I've wanted an orange, locking :spyder: for a while, and I've wanted a dodo, sounds like a win!

[STR]

I'm in for two PE yes!

[Killdozer]

Yes SIR!

[boboakalfb]

Yes, please.

I can't believe the attention this thread has gotten in about 24 hours time, I have never handled a dodo and they are very odd looking. I can see why they bring so much money though, just look at all the interest! I would have to try at least one to see what all the fuss is about if they are re-made!

[WhiteWillie]

I would gladly exchange one of my favorite bodily organs for a new Dodo.

I thought the same thing before I bought one but have been hooked ever since! there's something about the ergo's of the handle, the hawkbill type blade and the ball-lock that's just altogether awesomeness!

[markg]

Sure, why not... It is only money.

I hears many time that Dodo is ugly, but I love this knife since I saw it fist time.
I strongly believe that dealers would be able to sell Sprint run within a week, may be even less. Golden Sprints are only 600. I will buy even foliage green :eek: :eek: :eek: , but orange sound much better. :p , as well as "Lil T green", yellow, cranberry, deep blue and many others. Lets keep it simple, change nothing, just color of G10.

[araneae]

We all knew we wanted another Dodo. Why didn't' we start this thread before? The response is impressive and hopefully hard to ignore.

[bh49]

All right,
Let's get really wild.

What about SPYDERCO FORUM Knife 2009 Dodo. , Orange G10, S30V.

May be it is time to resurrect Forum knife idea. Forum knife became a legend: everybody heard about it, but most member never saw them, only pictures. :eek:

[MCM]

+1. But s90V & black............. :spyder:

[nuubee]

I'm really impressed with the quality of the graphics posted by some of you.
Another dodo in a bright color would be fantastic.

I'm normally a plain edge guy, but this is one model I'd like to have in SE.

And with all due respect to everyone, I would timidly suggest one change. A 'caged' ball lock would be a little bit easier to engage with sweaty hands, I think, for me.

[FLYBYU44]

I don't really like the Dodo to be honest. However I would buy an orange ball lock Dodo for sure. It would make an awesome work knife.

I don't think very many people would actually buy a sprint if it came out. Like most response rates I would presume it would be significantly lower than what is represented in this thread.

Think about it. The original was S30V, made in Golden and had a street price of $80-90$. It didn't sell well enough to last more than a 2-3 years.

If a sprint came out and with XXX steel, made in Golden I would expect the street price to be in line with current offerings; @$120-$140 depending on the steel and handle material/style.

If people won't buy an original Dodo for more than $100-$110 anywhere else but eBay how many can be expected to buy a new one for $20-$40 more?

Of course there are a ton of extraneous factors at play but even if they all could be identified and analyzed I think they would show it is still too early for a revisit to the concept.

I would much rather see an entirely new LBK similar in pattern and concept to the Dodo but more user friendly. When you get right down to it the Dodo was an edge maintenance nightmare, was too wide in the pocket and desperately needed a small but important upgrade to the lock.

Good point, I might hesitate to buy one at 120+ price range.
unless it is a SE S90V :D

BTW, all those color looks awesome, though red/orange are my top choices

OK, if Spyderco will make Orange S30V, I would buy yours :D
three total, I hope will be under $135 street.
