Prototypes and pictures

Generally there should be no pictures of prototypes as it is against company policy. Check out Mr Blond's threads from the Amsterdam meet.

While working at the Blade show at the prototype display I kept looking over my shoulder at this ominous figure of Sal's face photo chopped onto this Arnold Govenators physic, with the the caption "NO PHOTOS"....Take Care...Ed

"Tuff" is one that I've been waiting years for.

Ed, one of the biggest draws for me is the thought of you using 3V on it. It would really make it stand apart.

You've probably seen me bugging Sal for Vascowear for years now. Mostly as a joke, to be honest. 3V would be a pretty good substitute and it really performs much like it too.

Hopefully you and Sal can get around to getting a version into production.

There's quite a few of us looking forward to it.

Thanks Ed.

Very thick titanium integral compression lock.
Thick blade with a milled out part for weight reduction.
Overall size and schape comparable to the original Manix if I remember correctly, but a bit more angled like all Ed's designs.

Now, that's one I would go for. I'm not liking this trend toward smaller and less heavily built folders.

Then you for sure won't be disappointed with this one, if it makes it to production ...

Ive learned it is much cheaper to buy it when its new than to wait until it long out of production. I saw a Dodo go for $495, that is not a typo, on Ebay a couple months back.

One I've been looking forward to for some time. Glad to hear that at least it's still in the works.
