Они решили выпускать Knife Research Enki и под своим брендом тоже?

Интересно...

Ну а что им с дизайном парится. :-) Взяли известный всем нож, провели работу над ошибками, использовали материал с которым они долго уже работают. Надеюсь на цене и качестве положительно отразится.

Серрейторы от CRKT становятся еще страшнее.

так это же вроде их обычный veff serrations?

[Infernis]

так это же вроде их обычный veff serrations?

По дизайну - да, это Veff.

Но посмотри на отношение размеров клинка и серрейтора.

Он вроде крупнее чем обычно. Отанаши это немаленький нож.

Но даже если это мне кажется, то серрейторный Otanashi это по-любому новый вариант.

Довольно крупный, кстати - 11 см клинок. Это уже нормально.

Интересно какая цена в России будет с учётом движух на курсе евро...

Urban Trapper улыбнул - на роль EDC прям вот так и просится :) . Да исчо и с подшипничком.

Spyderco 2014 Production Prototype – Sam Owens ARK

The first knife that was shown and passed around all attendees, was the Sam Owens designed ARK prototype neck knife. The design apparently came about through forum discussions and ideas. The knife was meant to be carried everywhere and always. This particular design was intended to be a self defense tool for the military to help protect against rape attacks in the showers, from other servicemen. The ARK will feature H1 steel and an injection molded sheath.

To me, the knife was a really nice small and lightweight neck knife. I’m sure it will be a breeze to carry all the time. The extreme curve of the blade should prove useful for many other tasks than just self defense. I would probably add a little lanyard to improve the grip.

Ted was a great help during the meet, and when I asked his help to get me a blade length measurement, he collected way more than that! The measurements of the ARK prototype are approximately as follows:

Overall Length: 12,6 cm / 4.96 inches
Edge Length: 5,5 cm / 2.16 inches
Blade Length: 6,7 cm / 2.63
Blade Thickness: 0,2 cm / 0.07 inches

Sal and Eric provided a lot of information and background stories for each design. Any mistakes in these descriptions are mine alone. If you attended the meet and picked up some other information on this and the other prototypes in this thread, please add that information to this post.

Spyderco 2014 Production Prototype – Gayle Bradley Fixed Blade

I’m afraid I didn’t pick up any background information or details about this fixed blade design by Gayle Bradley, as I was photographing other knives when this knife was presented. This is really a shame as it is a beautiful and practical design. I’m sure my fellow attendees will be able to share more info on this design.

The approximate specifications of the Bradley Fixed Blade prototype are:

Overall Length: 25,5 cm / 10.03 inches
Edge Length: 11 cm / 4.33 inches
Blade Length: 13 cm / 5.12 inches
Blade Thickness: 0,4 cm / 0.16 inches

 

Spyderco 2014 Production Prototype – Michael Burch Chubby

The Chubby prototype, designed by Michael Burch, was one of my personal favorites from this year’s meet. Apparently, Michael Burch has been making this design for some time and it’s been refined over the years. The dual beveled blade allows for very easy penetration.

This knife reminded me a bit of the Spyderco Poliwog, which I’ve carried for a few years as an EDC. The Chubby is much more beefy and fills the hand even better. The titanium handle and integral lock make for a relatively lightweight folder. I think the all steel Poliwog was heavier. The knife handled very well. I think the circular inserts are carbon fiber. I’m usually not a fan of custom makers’ clip designs, versus Spyderco designed clips, but this clip turned out well. It wasn’t too sharp and didn’t pinch the hand in my grips. After I was done taking these photos, I made a mental note to put the Chubby on my wishlist.

The approximate specifications of the Chubby prototype are:

Overall Length: 15,1 cm / 5.94 inches
Edge Length: 5,7cm / 2.24 inches
Blade Length: 5,7 cm / 2.24 inches
Blade Thickness: 0,4 cm / 0.16 inches

 

Spyderco 2014 Production Prototype – Dice

The Dice is a smaller version of the Domino, that came about through by customer feedback. The Dice has many typical Spyderco features such as a leaf shape blade, full flat grind and a double distal taper. The pivot is made with ball bearing washers for a super smooth opening action, using the flipper.

Despite the ‘shrinking process’, the ergos were very good. Using the choil, I could get a full grip on the knife. The flipper doesn’t intrude on opening the blade with just the thumb hole which is something I like. I’ll probably end up with a Dice in my carry rotation, as I’m a sucker for Li’l Big Knives.

The approximate specifications of the Dice prototype are:

Overall Length: 16,7 cm / 6.57 inches
Edge Length: 6 cm / 2.36 inches
Blade Length: 6,2 cm / 2.44 inches
Blade Thickness: 0,25 cm / 0.09 inches

 

Spyderco 2014 Production Prototype – Serge Panchenko Dog Tag Folder

The Dog Tag Folder is a small, stylish folder that would fit great on your dog tag chain, imagine that. The blade doesn’t lock, it has a type of slipjoint action that ‘secured’ the blade quite firmly in the open position. The blade is ground on one side only.

The approximate specifications of the Dog Tag Folder prototype are:

Overall Length: 8,1 cm / 3.19 inches
Edge Length: 2,7cm / 1.06 inches
Blade Length: 3,1 cm / 1.22 inches
Blade Thickness: 0,3 cm / 0.11 inches

 

Spyderco 2014 Production Sample – Dragonfly Super Blue

I’m happy to see this Dragonfly in Super Blue was presented as a ‘production sample’ which means we’ll hopefully get to see it at our dealers soon.

We probably all know the FRN Dragonfly 2. I think the photos show it, but if not, I can confirm that the blade on this sample was laminated. I’m really starting to like this Super Blue steel, it gets very sharp! Sal called it ‘a sticky edge’ and apparentely Bill Bagwell referred to a sharp Super Blue edge as being a ‘hungry edge’. After experimenting with a Super Blue Delica, I think I understand what they mean.

 

Spyderco 2014 Production Sample – Endura Ti / Damascus

After the introduction of the Delica 4 with a titanium handle and a Takefu Damascus blade, it’s probably no big surprise to see an Endura with these features. As you can tell from the photos, the knife was passed around with its protective sticker on one scale. I didn’t have the heart to remove it.
