Lionspy Update

I almost forgot or never knew in the frist place. Production or not?
Would be nice to know if I like it enough...buy a second one before they're gone.

Good question...... No way I could afford a 2nd at this point though.... I just wanna know when mine will be coming fro GPKnives......... My anxiousness just skyrocketed after seeing that they're available on spydies site!

By what I saw, the dealer price is about 25% less than the MRP on the Spyderco site. So if you registered your Spyderco and got that discount code, you can buy off the Spyderco site right away for nearly the dealer price. That is if you are in a hurry.

MSRP is 499. I already paid 300. Little more than 25% is my math is correct.
Nice thought though. I think I'll wait. Heck, I've already waited this long. Another week or so won't kill me.

We received our first few autoship knives and we put up our video. I really like this one.

That's a beast of a knife. I was going to get one, but the house needs a roof
and it's one or the other. The Lionspy doesn't shed water a well as shingles.

Thanks for the video review. Looks like a great knife. It's not in my budget right now, but I'd certainly be interested in picking one of these up in the future.

I got mine from CS today $278. My understanding, is he only got 5 of them. Not sure how many shipped out from Spyderco. Doesn't sound like there were a lot.

When you say that you got yours, do you mean that you ordered one, or that you actually received the knife?

gbelleh · #31

I just ordered one from CS myself. They're in stock.

What is this about a travel/storage case with this knife when you buy it from CS?

I believe Taz mentioned that they were all coming with the pouch, but Jeff is probably the only one to note it in his description so far...

gbelleh · #34

Yes, they come with a pouch, and a tool. These are shown in the bladehq video earlier in this thread.

Alchemy1 · #35

Oops...guess I didn't watch enough of the video.

Blasted! I originally wasn't that interested in the Lionspy, but the bladehq video changed my mind. Was able to snag one from CS yesterday afternoon after I saw your post about Jeff having a few in stock. Got my shipping confirmation later that day. Unfortunately, he's out of them now.

Is it truly FFG? In the vid it appears to be hollow ground, similar to that of the Gayle Bradley.

It's clearly not a full flat grind, as you can see where the grind ends right below the Spyderco bug. It's impossible to tell from the pictures if it is hollow ground (which is concave) or a flat grind that ends somewhere between a full flat and flat saber grind.

I held the LionSpy this past Saturday at the Spyderco Outlet. The 1st thing that got my attention was the Thick Elmax Blade! A whopper. Nice balance and construction. It is more parts but steel on steel for the lock bar is better for long term use ( just get a back up of the small parts which are probably cheap ).
It to me is the Daddy of the SR-1 in terms of Blade length/thickness of blade and Spydie hole ( no protruding studs ).

Thanks!

FWIW, the online catalog describes it as a "high flat grind".
