The Roadie has proven itself a very capable little knife to me. I really like the colors. The gray is kinda classy looking. :cool:

The "Rhino" would have been a cool name for the Stick imo.

Man I love that Vrango! I just noticed that it's tip down only though. That's a bit of a bummer.
Re: Amsterdam Meet 2015 report of upcoming Spyderco prototypes
When I clicked to page 21 I thought I was about to see a Titanium Jot Singh Khalsa. As I scrolled down, the next thing that popped into my head was a Ti, Jot Singh/Szabo hybrid.

It's not just in my head, it's in my heart.

That high hump reminded me of the Jot Singh Khalsa too.

beautiful pictures Wouter, as always, which will cost me a lot of money.

Vrango blade reminds me of the Captain, gonna keep an eye out on that one. Lots of collabs this year.

Re: Amsterdam Meet 2015 report of upcoming Spyderco prototypes
I am looking forward to news for both but hey, at least there has been ATR's in production in years past. The Shaman/Chief has been a unicorn myth for over a decade. Would like to see it finally come into fruition.Liquid Cobra wrote:No Shaman? You mean no ATR :eek:bh49 wrote:beautiful pictures Wouter, as always, which will cost me a lot of money.

Re: Amsterdam Meet 2015 report of upcoming Spyderco prototypes
The Vrango looks great, but who takes a Ti and CF knife fishing? Sounds like a utility knife that the working man can't really afford... Overall it seems like the entire line is going higher end. It seems curious that they don't use Taichung to bring a more affordable knife or 2 to the market. Ti and CF seem to be the standard options for future Spydies. I am waiting for more G-10 and FRN...
Re: Amsterdam Meet 2015 report of upcoming Spyderco prototypes
I guess when you have craftsmen as capable as those at Taichung, you put them to good use making high end, custom quality knives no one else can. It would be a shame to have them building Byrds. Like having Michelangelo paint a garage.
There was mention of some of the new models eventually being FRN, like the Lil Temp 2.

Re: Amsterdam Meet 2015 report of upcoming Spyderco prototypes
I had the exact same thoughts with this one, it seemed to fill a niche I wouldn't think would be there. It is super nice though. As for the rest, see below.araneae wrote:The Vrango looks great, but who takes a Ti and CF knife fishing? Sounds like a utility knife that the working man can't really afford...

This is absolutely correct. Spyderco is pushing the envelope of what a production knife company can do, and you can't hold back your talent.gbelleh wrote:I guess when you have craftsmen as capable as those at Taichung, you put them to good use making high end, custom quality knives no one else can.

You're also correct about the lil temp and other models. They need to be vetted first in "slab" before they go to FRN. It's the unfortunate truth that variety in "affordable" FRN will take a while to grow, since the up front cost is very high. It's my understanding that this is also the plan for the new D'allara.
Rest assured, though, that while Spyderco is pushing their limits on the high end, they're also taking time to grow their "value" producers as well. They showed off some Ti Byrds (which I thought would be pictured for us) that felt very high quality but were meant to be priced VERY reasonably.
Re: Amsterdam Meet 2015 report of upcoming Spyderco prototypes
Ugh, looks like I'll need to pick up a Vrango now as well. I just can't say no to fun collabs!
