Is it a typo that the reveal says that the Mantra 4 is a font flipper?


I don't believe so. Looking at the pictures I do believe it's a front flipper. Design reminds me of Astute. Very pleasing and easy to the eye. Hopefully the ergo will be the same as the Astute. Design looks promising and I'm ...

It's a difficult topic from business perspective. Putting aside politics, I don't believe there's any other country that can mach them in terms of large scale manufacturing capability and lower cost. Many American brands are having their budget lines, and not only budget, made in China. Microtech ...

I'm surprised no one talks about the elephant in the room - Native Chief 15V. That is a must for me. As well as the two new mules. The rest is dependant on budget and timing.

Actually wearing off the blade is pretty easy and quick. It really depends on how you use it. This particular HH UKPK is about 3y old and has been sharpened more than 200 times. As you can imagine the tip was protruding out of the handle when closed. I had to bring it back somehow to stay safe in ...

It really depends. Mostly on your attitude. As long as you remain calm and polite, you can talk to the police officer for an hour. Yes they can confiscate it because it is in fact a knife, they'll give you all the paperwork and then you can challenge it in the court room. And most likely you'll get ...

It is completely legal by the word of the law. Some police officers might give you hard time, but you can explain to them in a calm manner that according to law it is completely legal and you want to speak with their superior. Whatever the conversation might be it's very important for you to be ...

If it was me I would definitely keep it and get another one. From my point of view it is collectible.

Mine is being dispatched yesterday around noon. Got the tracking number. According to FedEx they already have it and it's about to hit the road.

I live in London and I know exactly what you mean. Never in my life have I been stopped for searching, let alone face confiscation. By law you shouldn't have any issues. Eventually you might have a lot of headaches from over zealous officers trying to prove themselves in the field. Talking with ...

Judging by the price I would say Carpenter. But I could be wrong though.

19C27 is designated as MT43P/MT43S
We don't know what 42, 44 and 45 are.

Those scales appear to be made by VP Creations in the UK:

Correct. I think he has the most options for UKPK, Urban and Squeak. There's titanium, aluminium, brass, copper, carbon fiber, micarta, stabilised wood. A lot of them are made to ...

My most used Urbans. All with new clothing. Well, kind of. The Damasteel Urban is rocking the brass scales for 3 years now. And the Rex 45 urban just got the new scales today.

Why would Spyderco want to deal with Amazon? And all the problems that come with it? Have it in mind Amazon's T&C are very steep and usually favouring the end customer. Even if it's not right. Automatic refunds, steep discounts forced upon the seller etc. Not to mention their cut. Worst case ...

Thanks for the info. Although I saw it in my email Saturday morning. Was just too busy to write a proper reply. Really don't like it when they drop codes like that. Out of nowhere. Just the day before I've preordered 2 manixes lw 15v from them. I've sent them email if they could apply the discount ...

It's mixed. I've missed Spyderco Hundred Pacer. Found one in a British online retailer and by the time I check out it was gone. The hunt continues. On the other hand, in the British forum I literally stole Spyderco Manix XL C95GP. Brand new in box. For a £100 delivered to my door. That's the deal of ...

I wonder if this is the last run of REX45 that we see?


It depends. As far as I know dealer exclusives are paid upfront. And depending on the factory queue and when the actual dealer wants to release it it could take months until it's ready. So if there's a lot of exclusives planned maybe, just ...

I got 2 of them. But they're taking a detour on the way to the UK. Just a quick stop in Bulgaria with my brother in law and then coming to the UK. I hope.
Edit. Just checked and the restrictions of only 2 per person is gone. As of today there's still 405 pieces available.

Wish I could attend the fall seconds sale. But I don't see it happening anytime soon. As someone living in Europe that's almost impossible for me. If only there were online seconds sale. Think that's the only option for all the folks outside of US.

Won’t ship to the U.K.

And that's very weird because this is a slip joint. Anyways, even if there's a shipping to the UK there's also minimum 200$ limit. I mean, your order should be at least 200$ to qualify for international shipping.
