Dangit... now I have to pay Howe's. Darn preorders... Oh well, real food is for the weak, and the Army gives me MRE's for free! :p

[c.joe]

Holy smokes shes a beauty!

[justinl]

to be frank, not really my cup of tea, but I am quite intrigued by this hollow grind with convex ground tip! May I ask why you guys decided on this? Tip strengthening?

[DeathBySnooSnoo]

As soon as I have money....I will be buying this. Beauty!!

[Dr. Snubnose]

Beautiful Knife, but where is the Sub-hilt?:confused:...Doc

[dmon]

Sorry, but to my eyes that's probably only :spyder: knife where trademark round hole just doesn't seem to belong at all. I am a big fan of hollow ground blades though. Hope experiment goes on. I see great potential, and hate to say this here, but this knife makes me wish that Buck comes with something like that. It would not have this hole, it would be made of SS, G-10 and S30V, and at same time probably cost less. But even if it wouldn't cost less i would still buy it.

I love the handle and bolsters ... but I am not convinced about the way the blade bulges around the Spydie-hole. But I am sure I'd be converted if I held one :D

[DiKa]

Finally, I think I'm in love.:D

[Blerv]

Love it! Plz make a slightly smaller one. I have this pesky 3.5" blade law :(.

[Dagon]

I examined it during the SPyderco meeting in Amsterdam. In general I liked it quite a bit, even if it's rather bulky for EDC.
The one thing I didn't like were the screw holes in the bolsters. Yes this allows the clip to be positioned everywhere, but clean undamaged bolsters look so much nicer !

[jschonfarber]

beautiful except for the spyderhole, it sticks outn too much

[LorenzoL]

Is it me or the way that lock is exposed could make it really dangerous?
Otherwise it looks great.

[SpydieZ]

The position of the hole makes it extremely easy to open I love it!!!!

[grumpyphil]

Handled it today at Blade. Loved it, gotta have it.

This was my awesome Fathers day present!! I think I was supose to buy sneakers?.. but this workhorse will be beautiful and functional much much longer.

[defenestrate]

Beautiful Knife, but where is the Sub-hilt?:confused:...Doc

The sub-hilt is cosmetic rather than functional. I get what you're saying, but I guess aesthetics won out this time. Still a darn good-looking knife.

Got my hands on one the other day. It looks and feels in hand like a Spyderco Bushcraft folder. Bear with me. The blade thickness and overall length of the Vallotton is very similar to the Bushcraft. It's also similar in weight and the black polished G10 looks the same to me. Good feel in hand and smooth action. Winner.

[spyder_guy]

Finally got my sub hilt yesterday, been waiting for it.... Tell you guys this folder will destines to be a collecter classic, the workmanship is superb and the fit are tight. Just a little heavy though, but i guess thats all good with me.Keep it up guys.
