What is the ETA for this model? Will it be available via resellers or only directly from Spyderco?

And that is really one good-looking design. With the specs of this blade and the looks it is a keeper. :D

I have had a bad experiences with Silicon Oil and knifes. It tend to work really good for a first few minutes then the whole mechanism goes to a stall. After asking around I have found that Silicon Oils tend to do that and not too got on a knife. Now I only use mineral oil and it works very well. I ...

Just got this unique knife today and was really impressed by the sharpness and quality. Greate job there, Spyderco. I also have one question, from the first impression it seems that angle on the edge is very sharp. From what my eyes can tell it is probably 10 degrees per side (20 inclusive). Does an...

KC just have corrected the price on Chokwe, so it must have been an error.

And I was hoping for a bargain. :D
Well back to reality. :)

Chokwe does look like a bargain to me. Almost same form-factor as Milli and at such an attractive price. I was not planning on getting one but after seeing the price I think I havr to reconsider.

Thank you for a review. I have been looking for this type of review for some time. Pics look great as well.

Now the questions is, where do I get one. None of the online retailers seem to have it.

I would say if it bothers you then by all means do return it for the replacement. For the knife with the price tag of Spyderco Khukuri I think it is not bad to expect perfection. If it was me I would return it. Tell us what you have decided in the end.

Fairlane, thank you for providing some feedback. I have ordered mine as well but have no idea when I will be able to have it in my hands. I hope that the clip will not be too much of an issue. After looking at some picks of the knife I have noticed that the click is not placed in the best position. ...

Seems that there are no people on the forum who has actually got one and could share their experiences. I was thinking that his specific blade already owned by a couple of hundred people or so. I will be looking forward to some reviews and comparison pictures.
Thank you.

Hello, I was waiting for this model to come out with lots of anticipation. Now when it is out, is there anyone who already owns it and can share some pictures and impressions. From the pics I have seen so far, it does look like a perfect addition to EDC rotation. Please share what you think about th...

Now that is a real beauty executed in one of the best (rust-proof) steels. This peace of art should be owned by every Spyderco collector just for the sake of looks and not only utility. I think I could even find some utility value of this knife once I own it. Bring it on. :D

Want, want, want!!!
I am a sucker when it comes to a black coated blades. :D

Done... I just put June 13th in the diary. Assuming I don't lose the diary, I'll wipe the bread crumbs and mustard off it before the big day and take some photos. Cheers, Don A bit late, but I have kept the promise and used my Lum as EDC for all this time. I do not have any recent pictures handy bu...

Lum Folder is one of the best EDCs out there. I have started carrying it last year and never looked back. Perfect weight and size for every-day-use, so to speak. Love it. :D

Hello all,

I have finaly found some time to take a pictures of the ZDP-189 Mule that I was lucky to pick-up from G.Sakai directly. It is with the convex edge and as sharp as a scalpel.

How do you like it?
Is it what you have expected? Please let us know what you think of it. :D

Totally normal. Once you start using it more the lock will get further towards the middle.
Nothing to worry about. :D

It'll be made in Japan. :)

I have been looking on one of the Japanese sites and have found pics for the ZDP-189 Mule. Enjoy.

Can not wait to get mine once they are out.
It looks really good. Thanks for the pics now I can see the real size of the knife in a normal sized hands. I think it could be a perfect gents knife. Something to replace Lum folder time-to-time. :D
