End of year...so expensive...Damascus Caly 3, CF Dodo, discontinued models, Pingo, and now the Southard. My wallet's crying but my face is smiling. Now just bring on a forum knife and the 204P Para 2 and finish off my knife funds!

That's for sure. Prices going up while my earning power goes down is a bad combination. I'm getting priced out of the market. :(

When is the Southard hitting market?

Has anyone discovered if the lock bar face is carbidized to prevent steel on titanium wear?

It is not carbidized, it is however heat hardened at the lockface, Just like the Chris Reeves Sebenza, or the Spyderco Techno. An excellent way to prevent wear.

I think you will be pleasantly suprised.

Thanks Brad!

I'm looking forward to this knife. It's going to be a very unique Spyderco.

My M390 Military has been one of my favorite user knives because of the steel and blade shape. This Southard Flipper looks like it will fit right in.

I guarantee you're right. :) :spyder: Still, the steel insert/overtravel stop is such a great idea, I'd have been even happier if it had incorporated that. Was there any specific reason not to incorporate that?

By the way, (1) thank you and Sal! and (2) great work, looking forward to receiving my pre-order!

Ok, I'm excited about both! Been waiting on this knife since it was announced. And a follow up to Surtur is great news.

Just what I needed. Really hoping I can get one even though I didn't preorder.
