If not, I have a suggestion for the next flash batch : a "large Dragonfly" with a 2,75-3 inch blade lenght :) :spyder:

I was wondering this aswell. I hope the next one will be something up my alley(and budget).

As originally defined, Flash Batches are brand new designs and not like Sprint Runs which are based on current or old models.

If we end up seeing a Lil' Chokwe, I would guess that will be a Flash Batch. Purely speculation though.

I hope they're not done. I really like the concept.

I too really like the concept and hope there’s more to come. I have the lil nilakka already, and would love the next to be the lil chokwe mentioned. Call it the Chok-wee!

So, the Lil Nilaka is based on thin air?

Nope. But the flashback concept is a great way to introduce a completely new or reimagined/tweaked oldie without spyderco having to make it full production status. I believe flashbatch is around 1500 pcs? I wish more of the collaborations were flashbatches.

The Lil Nilakka seemed like it was a little popular, I’m not so sure about the Darn Dao, they are still widely available, but come with a hefty price tag as well and it’s a LARGE fixed blade. Be curious to see what the next one will be or if their even will be a next flash batch..

It's derived from the full size Nilakka, obviously, but it is was a brand new design for Spyderco.

Flash Batches are different from Sprint Runs because they're completely new designs never previously produced AND are one time only productions never to be made again. :spyder:
