Had to lock eyes on the laptop while a coworker was speaking to the side of my head but I scored.

With a jade Mini Freek from REI (20% off) arriving today, that's two good things to happen in a week.... *suspicious*

Without using a public preorder page:

1. Make Mule Team a forum member exclusive - The forum is open and free to join :)
2. Put "Mule Team 29 - Vibranium" or similar in the forum index - This is where members put their name on the list with "I'm in" (The limit is one at this point, just to take ...

Wow! The Spyderco community, and the leadership, is simply incredible. Happy Valentine's Day!

:eek:

My left-handyness works well with Spyderco's liner lock geometry.

Snagged one. Thank you, nerdlock!

I would like to thank Sal and Kristi for holding their trigger fingers. I apologize for busting in the door abruptly, and being uncomfortably blunt and possibly abrasive. VooDoo and ugaarguy, I apologize to you if I was offensive and you guys are right about how I came off. This is a humble apology ...

So all 600 went within an hour. The market apparently wants more SPY27. How many? Spyderco would never know because the count stops after all are sold. The only way to gather that "how many more?" number is by *ahem*. That small foundry that's so fussy could be compelled to be less fussy if the ...

@Rinzler - It could be as easy as a thread and anyone wanting in posts "I'm in". Keep the thread open for a month.

Production can either:
A. Meet the demand
B. Go with the limit (illogical business move)

Either way, some might not make the cut, but it's fair and the current cycle of FOMO is ...

No markup? You sure about that? I'm also talking about everything, not just Mule Team.

Okay, so the lottery is not to win something free. It's to get a gauge on how many want in and only adds their name to the upcoming stock replenishment (or the next).

If 600 are slated for production and 600 ...

@ugaarguy - Start a new topic on what you love about the SFO site.

Anticipation threads here are more like anxiety when they should be joyous excitement. Look at how the Z-Wear Shaman thread devolved.

With accurate metrics, even the Forum Knife Wishlist can become tangible reality with a simple ...

I understand the urge to gain feely points by defending the moderators but logic is logic. Do you see an inefficiency in my proposals, however informal?

"We make a conscious choice to not accept Pre-Orders. Each business is different, but for us, we choose not to take any money until something actually ships."

Spyderco doesn't have to finalize the charge then but also knows when Mule Team SPY27 is coming and that it can ship 2/12. Preorder, lottery ...

Amalgam - no flip tab (blade is already heavy enough to flick easily), rounded micarta.

Beef the grip up and the Amalgam becomes a bushcraft worthy, baton-able outdoor beast.

Brouwer - liner lock/compression/BBL (fixes the blocked hole), full G10 (stops a ~$200 knife from sliding out of your ...

Could have been taking preorder since the 4th (date this thread was started). Or could have had a lottery. [Either would give a precise number of how many to produce, how many waves, and the buyer can know which wave they're in.]

Just sayin'.

Get the Persistence.

- G10 won't slip like FRN (FRN slips, especially on synthetic material, because of the smooth logo opposite of a smooth metal clip. Metal, carbon fiber, and smooth G10 (Sun and Moon) also slip)
- Clip is very tight (Dang near impossible to secure without second hand assist ...

I received one subtle drift down the river and one with whitewater action.

@ugaarguy It's easy math. Let's say there are 1000 Shaman Z produced:

500 to distros
500 in warehouse/SFO

Distros can sell at MAP until they run out. Warehouse/SFO might have a higher tag, and in turn have slower sales, BUT that only lasts until the distros run out. Then customers will come to SFO ...

Amalgam is on the bird and ready for heavy drop :)

@ugaarguy When -searching- for an item. The full locking folders page does show banners but a search only shows COMING SOON banners.

IMO, for new releases, dealers should be fulfilled last (or be very limited - as a taste test), or for reasons of delivery limitations, etc. For the most part, CS, KW ...

Thanks, Sal!
