I managed to snag a spare the last time they made a run, but wouldn't mind one or two more if they made a sprint

No walker's planned for 2018, but I'll put in a request for '19.

nov/dec 2015 we saw hap40 sprints of the Japanese frn lineup start rolling out. It was a very fun time pouncing on those sprints... wonder if we will be lucky enough for this new round of sprints of unnamed steel to be released so soon??

Any speculation on what color FRN these may be? I’m probably only in for an Endura, I really have fallen in love with the Endura after I got the Pakkawood, and knife budgets you know. Can’t wait to see what steel!

It is going to be a long wait until 2019. But I'm super stoked to hear this.

The clip is the only thing that isn't perfect on the C22 so that would be awesome :D

I hope the Japan/frn run is a stainless steel this time. I love carbon steels but stainless needs love too.
Lord knows I don’t need more knives but this will be a perfect excuse to finally pick up a Stretch 2. (In a fancy new steel no less) :D

yes lots of nice sprints but we are spoiled and need some steel that is new to us/spyderco. those that you listed are s30v, vg10, hap40. great steels but we are hungry for new steel
