Poliwog pictures

[dalerich]

I received a Poliwog this week and just had to get up some pics. This is a very nice knife. Excellent design and construction. This looks as well executed as my small Sebenza. Great job all of you at Spyderco!!!

[speedz]

You take nice photos, love the closeup shot. May just have to pick one up me self.

In your hand

Alongside other Spydercos for comparison

[dalerich]

As per your Request. Small Sebenza included also.

[anorexicpillow]

[Michael Cook]

[greencobra]

Thanks for taking the request. Perfect.

Thanks for the Pics, they relaly make me want the Polywog. Those are some great shots! I like the size comparisons; it is actually a bit smaller than I expected.

Thanks for the polliwog pics Dalerich. Does the spine (where the thumb rests) of the wog's blade have any texturing / jimping like the Native's do?

Very nice photos Dalerich! Agree with you that the Poliwog shows excellent fit and finish. It is a very well built knife and is also the first ball lock model that I find easy to close.

Thanks for the polliwog pics Dalerich. Does the spine (where the thumb rests) of the wog's blade have any texturing / jimping like the Native's do?Brian, there is no texturing on the spine or choil.

Wow , way smaller then i expected, is it possible to make a picture with the poli in your hand?
I have a native and think it's really small, but looking at the poli it's seems even smaller?
is it like Dodo size, because odly i like the shape of the dodo, both handle and blade ?

Thanks Paul. I've yet to handle one but it looks kinduv Klingon-ish! :p

[Jim Malone]

thx deacon, indeed way smaller then i thought, bummer, think i'll pass this one

[The Deacon]

Special note for my fellow southpaws, and for any right handed clip haters out there :D Poliwog clip screw takes a #10 Torx driver (two make the job even easier). For the truly adventurous, the same size is used for the pivot, and the three smaller screws all require a #6 Torx driver.

Nice pictures. It does look rather small indeed. Since this is a regular run; are there any plans of a serrated one in the near future?

[jon shannow]

i agree it does look smaller than previous pictures have made it look
but that i am happy about
i love the smaller knives e.g. dragonfly,salsa ect ,for EDC

Thanks for the wonderfull pics!

I'm looking here http://www.newgraham.com/spyderco_poliwog.htm wondering should I or shouldn't I?

Am I the only one who thinks that this little SS fella is a tad overpriced? It's more than twice the price of an SS Dragonfly, and almost twice the price of an SS Kiwi. It's even priced more than an SS Police for Pete's sake. What am I missing :confused:

[Michael Cook]

:spyder: Well, first it has to pay for itself. The stretch is also around a hunnert dollars. :spyder:

[Mariner]

:spyder: Well, first it has to pay for itself. The stretch is also around a hunnert dollars. :spyder:Oh, well in that case, I can expect to see a significant price reduction well before it's discontinued .... NOT! I have a Stretch BTW, and I certainly would not put the diminutive Polywog in the same class.

:spyder: Do you mean the polywog does not compare in fit and finish? :spyder:

I would say it most definitely does. I have both the Stretch and the Poliwog, and while I like the thinness and and size of the Stretch, I was a little disappointed in the fit and finish of it. The Kraton insert was not centered properly or completely glued down, so as I used it the Kraton started peeling away, and to keep the knife from being ruined aesthetically, I had to stop carrying it. That said, I haven't seen any problems with the Poliwog whatsoever.

You just have to handle one to understand; fit and finish is absolutely amazing. My complements to Eric Glesser and Spyderco on a job well-done!

I second that HL.

Great Pictures!
I received my Pollywog last Friday. it is a big hit with me and is my daily carry for a while, Small but mighty. You need to hold it in your hand to appreciate the design, thanks Eric. :)

Just needed to comment on the "I think i will pass cause it is small" quote.
Having recently purchased one and recieving it directly from Eric himself I did the unthinkable,,,, I clipped it to my pocket and have been using it., and wow, dont write this on off on size.
It actually fits in the hand like an extension of your hand and can really cut.
I was caught off guard by how solid it locks up even though that floating ball lock seems unsecure to the eyes---not--- it is as solid as Fort Knox.
Dont pass this one up!! A wolverine is not all that big in the animal world but I wouldnt want to tell him he is a whimp because of size,,,, would you?

[Civilian]

Great pics guys, another one added to the "list".

[Colin KC]

Thanks for the small sebbie comparison Dalerich, nothing like a datum to gauge things by (no offence Paul, but you can't tell by someones hands alone)

Definitely on my must have list :D
