If you can read Japanese or whatever language that is, go for it. My assumption though is that the red symbols below the descriptions say "Out of Stock" <img src="tongue.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>





The word at the bottom on the right means next page <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle> <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>I figured that much out !



They have yellow Delicas, yellow Rescues, a titanium Delica, titanium full sized Police, OMG the list goes on O_O

CF Crickets, aluminum Civilians, Renegades, etc... Who reads Japanese? Are these current production in Japan? I found the "info@..." and sent off an e-mail asking about an English site/catalog. Pachucks???

The white Rescue looks pretty good. Let me know if your inquiry bears fruit.

I am very curious, especially about this knife, which they say is the executive

[mschwoeb]

and the workers under it. And this one caught my attention. and look at this cricket!

Yeah KK,
I had seen that site a while ago and drooled. Wouldn't mind having a yellow handled anything. I think perhaps Vince at Blade Art may have a connection in that country. He recently offered the plain edge Lady Bugs in odd colors. I got one in Olive Drab (bottom blade in image) from him. Sharp little "bugger". Lil' Bugger-get it? See ya

My local dealer had a Yellow Ladybug, but I got the black one instead :-/ Shucks

I can't read Japanese but I know that the pricing is Yen, and I went to a currency converter on the net. For those Tuffram Civilians, the 14,400 Yen price converts to around 107 US Dollars...good price for a nice hard to find Civilian eh?


OMG *faints*

Time for the bad news:

I was in such a state of excitemnt when I first saw these and then just now while looking through again, I realized some had clicky buttons that seemed to be buttons for ordering, some didn't. The more exotics like the Tufram Civilian didn't have one <img src="sad.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle> :'(

I would agree with you Krazie. Even with international shipping costs and the "wait" factor (the worst part) I would have come out better than what I just paid for mine, and its not even new. Condition was listed as excellent, I guess we'll see pretty soon. Anyway, I think we should keep this post near the top of the pile until someone "in the know" answers our questions. Later--Pachucks

[revolvergeek]

I think that what they are calling the Executive was sold over here maybe 6 or 7 years ago as the Spur... I had a Spur but got a fit of the stupids and sold it off to a guy that I worked with.

The one that caught my eye looked like a Pro-grip handle with a Delica blade. VERY nifty!

{insert fifteen shocked,jaw dropping smileys here}

The SpydeRench on this page: http://www.hamonoichiba.com/cgi-local/i ... 01_14.html

Has a Yen price of 5,400 ... you know what that converts to in US Dollars? 40 US Dollars is what.. O_O

But on the next page, they have them going for 15,300 Yen ...maybe a mini SpydeRench or just a screw up on my part <img src="tongue.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle> <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

Can we please please get some of this stuff over here!

There was a forumite - IanMUndertall, I think, who was residing in Japan but I haven't seen any posts here for a few months from him.

[J Smith]

Jeff

[chris2995]

[J Smith]

They replyed to my email.I will post an image of it tonight to cut down on the typing.They do take orders and the email gives instructions.

Jeff

[kraziekurtis]

Whoa! Cool!

Too bad that Tufram Civilian doesn't have an order button, nor does that Terzuola Jr. <img src="sad.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

Oh well, they have plenty of other excellent knives <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

[SpyderNut]

Way to go, Jeff!

If you find out how to order, could you maybe post the 'secret' on how to do it?
Thanks!

K/K, I just downloaded that website. It took 23 minutes all told! Those Tuff Frame Civ's were beautiful, BTW. I also was starting to drool over the picture of the Terzoula Jr. models. SWEET! Ahh, it was an act of cruelness to have those pictures and not have a "Buy" button by it. <img src="sad.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

If anyone has any luck, please pass the word! <img src="tongue.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>
