Dan - No the Rolling Lock is not ambi, but the lock module that we are developing will be, so left handed knives will not be any more dificult to make. We are also planning to make the lock release both scale slide or Bob's original front lever.
Joe - Not all Linerlocks are created equal. I knew a Texan once that was a real A'hole, but I don't place that burden on all Texans. Made well, Linerlocks do an excellent job. They are just far more difficult to build properly that most other locks, but they appear to be simple to build.
Slowjocrow - we agree. We are still licensing custom makers to incorporate the hole into their designs for custom quantities only and not for resale to factories. It also allows us to see some neat new designs.
Spoonslayer - Benchmade has Pardue collaborations, Elishewitz collaborations, just think of the AFCK as a Spyderco collaboration, spiced by; Pardue, Caracci, deAsis, McWillis & Glesser. (also, It is possible to do things with the hole and a tip down carry that you cannot do with a disc or a stud).
Carl - R&D & Mfg agreed to make a batch this afternoon. High buck though? Don't know costs yet, but we're starting off with some pretty exotic stuff to work with. Our first Boye Dendritic Cobalt blades just came back from heat treat this afternoon as well. Hope to have a sample by Blade Show.
