Samo, where can i buy spyderco knives in kl? I recently returned from Australia with a calypso jr and a military and would like to add to my collection. Thanks

Gotta remember this one, when talking about Internet to those not on. Two Malaysians with similar interests, "getting together" on a computer in Golden, CO. (Assuming Samo responds, of course.)

Wish I didn't have such a tendency to take such things for granted. My grandfather was a teen when the Wright bros took off from Kitty Hawk, and he lived to watch Neil Armstrong step onto the moon. And, they say with the ever-increasing speed of technoligical change/growth, that we will see far greater changes in our lifetime than he did. Not so sure about that sometimes.

Thanks for this "place", Sal.

Howdy hy! Welcome home and to the forums! <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>
You can check out the Spydies at Eddy Ng's toolshop (03-7540409) which is located at the second floor of Jaya Supermart in Section 14, Petaling Jaya or at Bob Chang's tackle shop (03-7372682) in Bandar Sunway. These are the few shops which are well-stocked and knowledgeable about their stuff. Are you from Kuala Lumpur? Well, for starters -- selection is rather limited to a small number of Spyderco blades. You can always place an order with Eddy who is quite and obliging dude! <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

Thanks for the welcome guys. Samo, i live in Subang and might check out the shop in bandar Sunway. Could you give me an idea of the range thay have, the prices and other brands that are available? Thanks for your help!

hy ~ Bob Chang's tackle shop is located opposite the Sunway Pyramid. Its called "Tight Lines". You can't miss this one because its the only tackle shop in the neighbourhood. Speaking about range, there are a couple of Spydies there like the Endura, Delica, Dragonfly and few custom-collaborated pieces. Price ranges from RM200-RM600, which is pretty pricey.. They also stock Cold Steel and Timberline. Hope this helps.. <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

wow...that's pricey indeed......it might be cheaper for me to order them from knifecenter......but i'll just go to both places and take a look anyway.....do these places sell white lightning and tuff glide as well.....thanks for all your help samo.

Dude ~ The pricing sucks! <img src="sad.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle> I agree... You can get a better deal at Bayou Lafourche. These shops don't deal with lubes and knifecare accessories but you can find white lightning at a bicycle shop in Tmn Tun... <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

Samo, i think i know the bicycle shop you're talking about......it's the one near the ibm building and pizza hut......i usually use wd-40 myself anyway......a little messy but it's cheap and convenient.......planning to get a tri angle sharpmaker....hope one of the 2 places you mentioned sell them......just out of curiosity, what knives do you own.....it's really difficult to find people in malaysia who even know what spyderco is.......such a big differrence from OZ and the US.

ditto dude! <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>
Well speaking about awareness, there aren't that many knifenuts here in Malaysia.. But there are some who use and collects Spyderco knives. Infact, the knives started to show up on the shelves here in the mid-90s. Kinda slow actually. But I have a friend who traded an early model Endura with plastic clip for two large blades with me. It was sent to him via mail from the States.. <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle> Personally, I love the Endura and have grown to like the Military very much... These are excellent choices! <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle> Oh yeah, if you want to pick up a 204, its being sold at Eddy's for RM270. Very expensive! <img src="sad.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>
