Read in a recent article by Mas Ayoob that his first folder design was going to be released this year by Spyderco. Anyone have any details on this?

Guy - Yes, it is in the works. Can't say too much yet. Strange looking knife. Have a Proto to Show at the Blade Show if you'll be there.

Mr. Glesser,
Can ya say if its a every day use knife, or a defensive knife. Just wondering.

I don't get it Sal - you have a picture - by all means - post it here, we won't tell anyone....

After all - we're all family - right?

Sorry - Technically, it's a "concept model". Until we have a delivery date within 6 months, no public photos, only opinions and discussion requested at shows.

Blades - I don't think that there would be any problems using it as an everday carry.

Massad Ayoob's fixed-blade design for Masters of Defense is high on any list of mine of what knife I'd least want to have to explain to authority figures. Would this new folder be one that at least has plausible deniability re. carrying as a weapon?

Thanks for the info Mr. Glesser. Like Mr. Mattis was saying, the MOD Ayoob is a knife designed for poking holes in watermelons. A limited use knife. So I was just wondering about his Spyderco design.

Blades - The Spyderco Ayoob is a folder. blade under 4". Black almite, tip down carry, left/right clip arrangement like Calypso jr.

Blade is wide enough to cut well. Explanation for general carry would not be a problem (except for blade length in some areas).

I will venture a guess that it will be capable of defensive use whilst closed like the gunting?

What kind of locking system?

Compression lock?

What happens if someone takes a pic of it at the Blade Show?

Wow!! Thanks for the additional info Mr. Glesser. Sounds like a great knife. I was just glad to hear it was more useful than the MOD Ayoob. Cool.

Great! One wonders what that old geezer is gonna come up with this time...
Mr Mattis, get your spy cam and get us some juicy (melon juice?) pictures. I hear Casio is releasing a wristwatch with an intergrated
digital camera....
And Sal, what about that greenish/blueish almite. Would be both nicer and a bit more "tactical" than black.

JoeG26er - it is not designed like the Gunting to be used when closed.

It is a lockback.

We would prefer than no one takes pics of products that do not have scheduled delivery dates within 6 months. Causes too much grief for our Sales dept. These are considered "Concept models".

Pelle - Mas preferes black.

James - only if I have a delivery date scheduled before year end.

Does this concept resemble in any way his MOD knife?(pleasepleaseplease)

Ferret - not too much. MOD is a fixed blade, Spyderco a lockback folder.
