Wow amazing looking knife! Can't wait to see it in the wild. I'm on the fence with this model. I want to try the design and cpm 10v, but I'm not a fan of knives that size

Farid,

Congratulations on the outstanding collaboration. It looks very stout and I for one look forward to seeing one in the wild. Any chance you could post a photo of it next to a common spyderco model so we can all appreciate its true scale?

Many thanks,

J

That looks really great!

How many millimeters thick is the blade?

Im assuming this is going to be a pricey one...

Awesome looking knife. I will own one of those bad boys even though I don't have the opportunity to carry large knives much anymore.

First of all congratulations Farid.

Hmm new Spyderco, lets see if I might be intrested.

Spyderco, check.

Big knife, check.

Different blade steel, check.

Titanium, check.

Wifes gonna be mad when I buy yet another knife, check.

Looks like a winner to me.
On my radar: 110V Military, Police 4 and some sweet Rex 45 Military action.

Newest Spydies: S90v Ti Military, Pacific Salt and a special Kiwi.

We must be getting really close.
Sal stated late summer / early fall.
Farid has the production piece.
It really would be nice to know how much though..

Anyone has some info on how close we are from release and an idea of either MRSP or street price? You guys think it's gonna be close to the southard, more expensive, less? Simply looking for a guess from someone more used to such release then myself.

Thank you all for your support in this K2 collaboration.
just so you all know what's going on here, yesterday I had surgery and I will have to recover for 8 weeks minimum before I can work again. 'I may not be able to do the cutting test which I wanted to do' , I hope you will all understand.

I am glad this wonderful collaboration has happened and I will look forward to reading peoples comments on this knife.

Again thank you for all your support.
