For EU folks- In stock in com2you-biwak, a bit pricey but at least you can grab it!
Also still at Coutellerie Tourangelle, even for a few (not many) Euros less.

A little less than that at Edgar Bros, the UK importer, and in stock.
As an aside, this is by far the best folder I’ve ever used for food prep.

Oh! didn't know they had it. It's still quite a bit more than the price estimated by Lamnia, so I'll take my chances and wait a bit longer

The more I use this knife, the more I like it.
Amazing the level of detailed tip work one can do without needing some humongous choil
.
This should illustrate the very definition of 'slicey' in any dictionary.

I received it a few days ago and I've mostly used it for some food prep so far. Surprisingly light for such a long knife, and a real slicer too!
Definitely a big knife...

Many thanks for the heads-up, thought I'd missed these! Very much looking forward to trying it out on the first bass of the seasonChrisinHove wrote: ↑Thu Apr 25, 2024 10:05 amA little less than that at Edgar Bros, the UK importer, and in stock.

Particularly interested in finding out how such a long handle works in practice...Re: Catcherman LC200N Sprint Run

Used mine for the first time today. Didn’t really use it much on the water but cleaned some decent fish with it when I got in. Man, what a great little design this is! Felt very capable as a small fillet. Serrations are completely out of the way when filleting (at least the way I work) but came in handy making a couple of cuts when I needed them. Knives sits very comfortable in hand and the forefinger rests very nicely over the spyderco and along the spine when choked up doing detail work. The only thing about this knife that isn’t perfect for me is I don’t love the sharp hump in the middle of the handle. I tend to like designs with a smoother/mellower hump like the stretch. Small issue given how perfect the rest of the knife is though! Very very pleased with the Catcherman so far!

Mine arrived today. Fit and finish are immaculate and it mostly feels great in the hand. The exception is, as others have said, is the point right in the middle of the handle.
As an aside, that's the same thing that means I can't get on with the Endura. I get that it's an old model which means old moulds. Grippy textured FRN means that indexing points aren't really necessary for this knife's intended tasks. I really do hope Spyderco transition to neutral grips like the LeafJumper
Anyway back on topic, I have a feeling this will work v well indeed for it's intended purpose. Great that Sal and co chose to re-release it for this sprint

I'm not the biggest fan of the hump either, but I find it way less annoying than on the Endura/Delica models: the handle of the Catcherman being longer, there's more space in front of the hump (even though I would still prefer a more neutral handle).

Gave the knife a good work out gutting and filleting some mackerel this morning. I do still marginally prefer my fixed blade fillet knife (Mora) but this one folds and doesn't rust
Happily I also found the hump far less annoying in actual use than I was expecting. All in all highly recommended. Indeed I just bought a second one for my brother (think it maybe the last in the UK so apologies if anyone tries to get one).Re: Catcherman LC200N Sprint Run

You and me both! Particularly because they are such good value compared to other LC200N Spyderco knives. A quick scan brings up the Salt2 in LC200N for £134 to £150, whereas the much larger Catcherman was 'only' £115.ChrisinHove wrote: ↑Sat May 11, 2024 5:21 pmI’m astonished they stayed in stock as long as they did, tbh.
