FYI I got a shipping notification that my preorder shipped from Blade HQ.

Gives me hope--I'd have thought preorders would go out before you could just pick these up off the shelf--probably the last time I preorder

A FFG exclusive would be interesting.


:O sacrilege! we need more hollow grinds, not less!!!


100% agree--I was contemplating starting a thread on why high hollow grinds are not more prevalent--is it an abrasives/machining/consumables issue or is there a legitimate performance argument for ...

May I ask where you got yours? I preordered on BHQ last year and I haven't heard peep!


He has one because he’s the president of the company. They haven’t been released to market yet. I’m sure you’ll read about it here on the forum when it drops. Cheers, Radioactive


Ha no I know his name is ...

Hi Sal,
Just purchased a Zoomer from Chicago Knife Works. Blade came very dull.
Can I send this in to be sharpened correctly?
Many thanks

Mine does not have that little dingus, no. I'd think that could be sharpened ...

I'm carrying one today.

sal

Mine is ordered and should be in my hot little hands in just over a week.

Thanks, Sal! This is a very exciting one!

Are you talking about this?

Mmm no I’m out but I’ll snag a picture of mine. It’s a minor asymmetrical grind. Didn’t even notice until you asked about mine and I really looked it over

Just got my tracking number as well for the Zoomer from Chicago Knife Works


Did yours actually ship out yesterday?
It appears that mine has just sat there all day with a label made.
BHQ ain't no DLT....or KSF, or Knife Works, or Cutlery Shoppe, 😆 😆
I'm gonna call and see if can just run ...

Posting so I can have a hope of keeping track...waterway, enuff2, yojumbo, eventually magnacut PM2. Then I swear I'm done.

City Arsenal has about 8 Spydercos on sale...Enuff 2 serrated for $99.

I picked on of these up last sale they had, CityArsenal is gtg.

I’ve got to stop coming here :|

Should be one left

No problem with SE k390 here either. The discounts on the discontinued are so good I ended up with one of each and two Police. It takes time to reprofile, so far I’ve only completed a Delica, but it’s so nice.

I'm *thiiiiiis* close to grabbing a second serrated police. So good

See if this ...

You guys keep me honest, but Chicago Knife Works has the Zoomer for $225 w/ new customer signup.

I snagged one just because I’ve always irrationally wanted one and they’ve been at $400 forever


This is the real deal folks...
They come ...

I’m not a hunter, but aggressive serrations wouldn’t do it? I can maybe see how you’d want a dedicated saw—did Spyderco ever make a saw? Using a SAK for that kind of work seems crazy—slippery scales and so many areas to trap contamination. Like Sal said, Silky seems to be the saw to beat. Never ...

New fishing knife. The cork wasn’t enough to float it in fresh water.

****, that was my goal

Beautifully done. I'd love to learn how to do this--I've built a lot of (crude) furniture and I always struggle with finishes...staining, poly. I want to donate my K294's G10 scales to the HIC and do something in wood. Nice job!

Just unboxed Police 4 Lightweight SE in K390.

Everybody here about this one i'm sure...
Pocketknife version of the Great White shark.
This thing has been slicing through loose magazine pages like nothing i've ever seen before.
