Rubicon has dropped!!
The Rubicon is finally here! It's listed as available on the Spyderco website:
http://www.spyderco.com/catalog/details.php?product=903" target="_blank
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.

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

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

Re: Rubicon has dropped!!
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.

Re: Rubicon has dropped!!
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?

Re: Rubicon has dropped!!
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)tvenuto wrote: [Hangs head in exhaustion]

Re: Rubicon has dropped!!
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.

Re: Rubicon has dropped!!
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)

If it's not polished, call it a saw, not an edge!

Re: Rubicon has dropped!!
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!
