Spyderco Forums

From what I saw on Blade HQ's youtube interview with Eric Glasser I made an assumption that there'll be no new Byrd models for 2024 in sight. Please, correct me if I'm wrong [oh, Lord, I wish I were wrong here].
Is that so, no new models this year?

Hi Megatron,

I just received a prototype sample of a model that I discussed with Albatross some time ago. It could be out for 2024?

Good afternoon, Sal!
Really? Wow! Can't wait to see it in reality.
After ready product version is released, it would be interesting to see that knife evolution from concept drawings (how it was supposed to look like and what do we have in the end) and so on, just like automakers do.

Hi Megatron,

Hard to do without attracting copies to come out before the original. We usually don't show pics on public forums until 6 months prior to release. We show them at some shows, to get feedback, but don't permit photos.

Of course, I understand.
I meant, after product is officially released and available for purchase on website et al, to make a post/video of how the model could look like. Like "at first, we had an idea to use this and make it look like that, but we refused that concept and then went for this and therefore it looks like that" kinda story behind the knife.
I think it would be curious to know how the guys at the company came to this product solution, and it shows the workers' perpetual efforts towards perfection.

That’s good news to look forward to!
