Quite an interesting knife. Automatic, designed at the request of the US Coast Guard to be easy to operate with gloved hands and to be rust proof. To accomplish the later, it will be the first Spyderco made in Golden to use H-1 steel. Even more interesting for those of us the Feds fear might turn into crazed anarchists, or worse, if allowed to own automatics, the amount of H-1 Spyderco has to purchase to produce this knife virtually insures we'll be seeing other, more conventional, H-1 knives stamped Golden CO, USA, Earth. :)

I am not a huge H-1 fan either, so I am not sure if intrigue is exactlyEvil D wrote:I haven't been a huge H1 fan thus far but the thought of some current Golden models in H1 is intriguing to say the least.
the word that I would use. Maybe relief, because it will be fewer knives
that I have to have.
For me, if it came in a knife i liked more like a Para 2, i may be inclined to buy one just for fishing duty or something like that. Really though, more than that if it could be done in FFG i'd learn to love it.BAL wrote:I am not a huge H-1 fan either, so I am not sure if intrigue is exactly

Being an old Coast Guard Rescue Swimmer, I'm really interested to see what they came up with? I remember when we went to the Benchmade AFO, worn in our lifting harness, and our biggest complaint was that it was extremely difficult to depress the button with gloves on. We were also issued Rescue Clip-its to carry in our flight suits and a lot of us would tie one off to our harness instead of the AFO. You could still deploy it with gloves and the serrations would rip through anything, wet or dry. The AFO was/is a good knife and it served me well but Alaskan water, 5mm gloves and frozen hands made it tough (not impossible) to open.

Sorry I derailed this thread a bit, I'm fine now, just a combination of unfortunate events. As for the Autonomy, only things I can add are that it had a yellow handle, probably G-10, a firing button about 3/8" in diameter that stands about 1/8 to 3/16" above the scales, and what I'd call a semi-sheepsfoot blade.
