BladeHQ G10 Poliwog

[infinkc]

Saw on FB that a Jade G10 M4 Poliwog is coming. Really surprised they brought back this model, but interested to see how it looks with natural g10.

and I thought the Dodo and Phoenix were ugly...yowza!! This thing is something else.

[VooDooChild]

Neat.

Wow, they're taking a chance with that one.

I'm definitely in on this one though, I've always thought it was an interesting model.

[Nice marmot]

I still have one of the original ss poliwogs. In fact it was one of the first spydercos I bought. It’s a neat design, but in the end I find it too heavy, too thick blade stock and too short of a blade. Oh, also it’s too wide in the pocket. At one time I thought I needed all of the weird spyderco designs that were made. So I bought a dodo, captain, civilian, and poliwog. The poliwog is the only one I still own so I guess that does say something though.

I applaud them for thinking outside the box and trying models other than PM2s or para3s. I generally avoid these runs because I prefer stainless though.

I bet they have an Ayoob in the works.

If they wanted to go weird they could have done a GITD M4 Dody-fly! :)

Ugly, maybe, weird for sure, but put it in your hand and you won’t care.

That's my guess, along with KS with a P-wood version.

That is so cool. I gave one of the originals in stainless steel to a friend when they were in production.

neat. this is one of those models that always looked cool but I never bought because it's on the smaller side. might have to check one out.

I emailed them this and a Lava request a few months ago. Received response but just a “we’ll keep that in mind” type

[Airlsee]

The Poliwog is a cool design and looks like a very heavy-duty small folder. I don't know if I will get one though, the pocket footprint looks huge, and the ball-bearing locks on the Q-ball & D'Allara 3 were not my favorites in actual use.

I'm undecided on this one.

Ill be honest I would much rather have boring old vg10 and normal color g10. I would also like the price to be lower.

Regardless, Ive always wanted to try a poliwog so I might just have to go for it.

$185? Nope

[RamZar]

To see the true measure of the ugliness of the Poliwog you have to look at it when closed!



Still, not as ugly as the tumorous Jot Singh Khalsa!

Yeah that seems steep for a sub 3in knife. That's about the same price they sold their M4 Manix XL for.

Early Eric era was a fun one
