Well, theres always Country Knives. Of course they're asking $250 for it. $175 is not really that bad a price for something where the demand exceeds the supply of "bargains".jmazzi wrote:Does anyone know where i can get one of these? Everyone seems to be out of them (except ebay for 175).

Gentlemen, I wish you the best of luck. I will admit I have never dealt with Qknives and have not heard any negative reports about them. It does, however, seem odd to me that a place offering prices considerably lower than the average $155 - $160 average discount price for a low-supply / high demand knife with a $250 MSRP would still have them available when those selling it at the average discount have been sold out for a while. But perhaps you've stumbled across a yet to be discovered deep discounter, stranger things have happened and good fortune occasionally shines on someone. Please let us know if you actually receive your knives. I sincerely hope you do, but placing an order and receiving a confirmation email means next to nothing, even shipping notices are not always worth the electrons it too to deliver them to one's inbox.

I recetnly ordered a Caly Jr from Q knives and received an order confirmation and then heard nothing for several days until I got some update telling me I could check the status of my order by clicking a link. When I did, it said the order was canceled, although I had to look hard to figure that out.
I believe that they list many items that are not in stock, take orders, and then cancel them. I have found this to be the case with many Yahoo storefronts.

on the flip side, i've ordered many spyderco's from EmergencyOptions http://www.emergencyoptions.com/catalog ... e=C113CFPE
and like Qknives, i have never heard of them before i started dealing w/ them. sure, i was a bit skeptic at first... until my packages started arriving on time!
i guess i'm a week away from knowing anything. all i know now is that i ordered the Caly 3 yesterday, and it has apparently been shipped this morning. but like you said, my email confirmation really does mean nothing.

:eek: sorry, i just noticed that. Although, waiting 3 days for new spydies is far too long!! Sadly, down here, we must wait many, many weeks for stuff from the US or EU . I'm waiting on a UK Penknife, a Rescue, and Assist and an Endura which I ordered about 10 days ago, and even though I know they take a while to get here, I hate the waiting!!pazzo wrote:haha no. it's only been 3 days!! i'm expecting them sometime next week at the absolute earliest. maybe friday 21st if i'm lucky... or even monday 24th (or in that week somewhere).
i'll let ya know
ouch, sorry to hear that. the fastest i've received a package (Busse NO E) was about 4 days!! that's amazing. :ptelemeister wrote: :eek: sorry, i just noticed that.

haha. actually, i think it came in (well, one of my Spyderco's came in). i went to pick up my mom from the airport (coming from Australia), and i missed the Canada Post lady... darn. now i have to pick it up "tomorrow after 1300".telemeister wrote:Did you get your Caly Pazzo?
don't worry tho, i'll let ya know tomorrow when i get home from wrk!
so i decided to call the post office just to see if my package arrived, and the lady started by telling me that if it wasn't in, i would have to wait until Tuesday :eek:
so i gave her my name, and sure enough the package had JUST came in 10 mins prior to my call... cool :)
when i got home i opened it... and to my surprise, i wasn't as impressed as i thought i'd be. actually, i kinda like the G10 Caly 3 better (well almost). the reason i feel this way is cause the carbon fiber looks fake (is it even real?). i thought it'd be the actual carbon fiber found on cars hoods. u know, the cool looking canvas kind where you can actually see the interlaced/ weaved fibers. now i know there's many kinds of carbon fiber, but this one looks kinda like those fake accents found in interiors of Honda Civics (sorry guys).
i just HOPE my CF PE Harpy/ Civilian aren't like this, when they come in next Tuesday!!?
so overall, i really like the CF Caly 3, only i'm a little displeased w/ the CF handle.
oh, what is that line running down the blade on these models? (two different types of metals fused together??)

Don't worry, these are the real deal, with different finish. These are matte finish which I like the most as it is more classy and very scratch resistant, to me at least. The harpy does have the car-type glossy finish which you desire, I have one of each but I don't know how durable the glossy finish is as one scratch will really show on glossy surface, therefore my harpy is the only safe queen I have. I love both, but I love matte finish that much better
