Rubicon has dropped!!

[RadioactiveSpyder]

The Rubicon is finally here! It's listed as available on the Spyderco website:

Haven't seen it at any dealers yet (Howes usually being first). Anyone seen it in the wild yet? The Chubby is also available now too!

Peter Carey showed a shot of one that I think is the Spyderco model on his Instagram account. Looks sick...I'm honestly crazily tempted by it, but not sure which way the price is going to go.

[adancingmonkey]

Aww man, I'm not ready for it yet $ wise. My girlfriend is going to kill me!

[farnorthdan]

I know this is crazy talk but....I think I'm going to pass on this one :eek:

[jalcon]

$499? I could buy a new pistol for that!

[gijoe945]

Omaha Knife will have them in stock Thursday. Rubicon and Chubby.

Street price is around $290-$300

Yup, but good luck coring a pineapple with your new .40 cal :p

just joking around...

But seriously, I agree with you $499 is some serious bread to lay out for a matter separator, no matter how sexy :cool:

[SpyderNut]

Yowza! That is one drop-dead gorgeous beast. Naturally, the timing of its arrival couldn't have been worse. I may need to pawn my snow blower... :o

[paladin]

My bank account has "crossed the Rubicon"

[Ferris Wheels]

I thought this day would never arrive. Now I just have to wait a couple more days for my favorite dealer to get their stock.

I have had my eye on this one for a while. I'm curious about the width of the handle as I've had no experience with scales that aren't flat. How will it carry in the pocket?

[GoldenSpydie]

S30V? For that much? I don't think so. I could see that MSRP if it used something like S90V/S110V/204P/etc... I don't particularly like recurve blades, either.

No offense to anyone who wants one, just my opinion.

Remember when S30V was awesome, and no one wanted to bother with a knife that WASN'T S30V? (not directed at you, GoldenSpydie, just in general)

[MacLaren]

True. There's more to cost than steel. We learned this with the Slyz. Even so, I still feel its too pricey for me. And so do others it seems.

[Laethageal]

The knife has a nice design that would appeal to me. The thing is, who needs a 3.5mm thick blade with only 70mm cutting edge?

I don't. Seriously, spend that much money and get a knife that won't perform better then any of my other spydies in cutting task? (Not speaking about hard use/survival/end of the world context but on the day to day basic cutting chore)

Clearly we didn't. Either that or it's groundhog day.

I agree.

[mark jeneson]

I am so excited for both these knives!!! I've got a Domino in the mail to satisfy my wait that I thought was going to be a bit longer. Lots like the Domino may be headed wayside after a little fondling!
