Spyderco/Farid K2

[Brock O Lee]

That is one large folding knife. Not many folders make the mili look smallish.

Agree, it looks massive, it makes the Millie look like a Caly ! :)

Here's a Farid custom K2 next to a slightly...'adjusted' Mili, and a Szabo. Looks like the Spydie has a bit more height to the blade, and slightly squarer shoulders on the frame profile.







Apologies for the poor photo quality.

The Spydie K2 looks real good, I'm gonna have to get me one when they come out. Maybe two.

Thanks, Jim.

You may need to consider pre-treating yourself with ibuprofen before starting tests!

Well it's wearing me out on the rope cutting.... LOL

It's doing very well. :spyder:

[Liquid Cobra]

Keep it up!

[Ankerson]

Rope cutting is done, time to rest and continue tomorrow. :)

1100 cuts on 5/8" Manila. :)

Jim, how do you already have one? Excuse me if this has already been discussed

It's pretty much this, Sal wanted us to test it.

So, with Farid's permission, I'm sending a K2 to Mastiff, Jim and Cliff to invite their thoughts. I've carried and used one quite a bit. We think it's a very fine tool and unlike anything we make, but if we can make it better, why not. Rebecca will send them out next week.

He and a few other folks are knife testers (with a structured and scientific process). I'm sure Sal wants feedback from a few who are known to shred cutting materials for joy and education alone.

I hate it when I have to buy a knife I will likely never carry based purely on Sals character...

(Not the first time, and I'm sure it won't be the last...)

:cool:

In stock! I'm going to have to take a look at one at the SFO.

[Philo Beddoe]

MSRP $399.95

Not as much as I thought it would be...

[jtoler_9]

up at Howes now.

[WireEdge Roger]

Not shipping till 9/30, though

[Laethageal]

Pre-order at GPknives, but I don't know them. Anyone got a good price for Canadian shipping?

Edit:
I realized GPknives offer USPS first class to canada for 9.99, which makes it 20$ lower then Howes. Anyone who dealt with them knows if they are reliable? About to pre-order mine :P

GpKnives are good to go

Wow, congrats to spyderco for delivering this design with extreme steel for a very affordable price. This one doesn't float my boat, but those who are seeking this design are sure to be tickled pink.

Your welcome bro. I always check CS- Cutlery Shoppe. They evidently have them now :)

[mark jeneson]

Nice!! Howes has the Slysz up too! I'm curious why the smaller Slysz bowie costs almost $50 more than the much larger K2...
