Hi Sal,

Would the Viele work as a slipjoint?

I think you know where I am going with this .....

Paul

is there a newer version of the viele due out soon??
There are no definite plans to bring back the Viele - please see Sal's comments above.

Sal makes it clear that they cannot just start making a limited edition product again. However, he did suggest that a new variant could be produced - perhaps ...

Sal,

Count me in for that one! I prefer the smaller knives.

Could you also consider changing the colour of the micarta scales to increase the difference?

Is there a plan to bring back the Viele?

Crocblades.com are advertising it as if they expect it to be in stock from theend of February. (See http://www.crocblades.com/store/catalog.cfm?product=C97BMP )

I hope this is correct as it is one that I would really like to add to my collection and was ...

I'd never seen the point of the SS Kiwi. Now perhaps I do .....

A thing of beauty.

Congratulations on your new fine knife. I was also hoping for a lockable version...

Dialex,

The unique selling point for this knife is the fact that it doesn't have a lock. The slipjoint is so good, you don't miss it either. There is also a half-stop point when the blade is at 90 degrees and ...

Glad you are pleased with it. The Kiwi truly is a beautifully engineered and made knife. Perfect for those of us who work in an office.

Welcome to the forum.

Welcome Manxi,

Another UK supplier is the British Knife Collectors Guild (http://www.bkcg.co.uk). However, it often works out cheaper to buy from the US. The Customs charges hurt though.

Yog,

Thanks for running the competition.

El,

Welcome to the Forum.

I am no expert on the Jess Horn Lightweight, but it does not seem to be available now.

A.G. Russell are selling a very good looking stainless steel Jess Horn if you are interested. Details can be found at http://www.agrussell.com/spyderco/agsp-2ss.html

Regards,

Paul

Thanks for the feedback.

I did some further research, but did not find too much. The most interesting site can be found at http://www.the-ekd.co.uk/800/uk2.htm

Thanks again.

I have just become the proud owner of a Kiwi. (Many thanks to Linda. Another satisfied customer.)



Can anyone tell me about the history of the Wharncliffe blade? I seem to remember reading somewhere that the shape was invented by a Lord Wharncliffe. Is this true? Was it designed for a particular ...
