Re: buying spyderco in turkey side
Are you looking for Spyderco dealers in the country of Turkey?
If so, then I can't help you.
I did however carve our Thanksgiving turkey with my Spyderco Gayle Bradley last year. Maybe not the best Spyderco for the job, but it was the best knife available and it was quite adequate. It also started a nice patina on the M4. :D

Re: buying spyderco in turkey side
Hi Mrbushido, I know you are not a native english speaker but you are definitely doing a much better job of it than I would if I were trying to converse on a forum from your country. Good job brother! :) I believe you are asking if you will be able to find a brick and mortar store selling spydercos in Turkey? I would say the odds are against it but thats pure speculation. In what country do you live, if you don't mind me asking?mrbushido wrote:Hello planning a turkey tour i august any place in side to buy real spydercos?

Re: buying spyderco in turkey side
The traditional knives of Turkey are the yatagans and they have low cost and high cost folders and fixed blades. It would be interesting to see the Spyderco knife places there.
I've never been there.
I saw pictures of Doner Kebab/Kebap, which are sliced cooked meat.

Re: buying spyderco in turkey side
Haha ok T, ok. I'm pretty sure he's looking for a dealer in the nation of Turkey.
Unfortunately the dealer locator only includes dealers in the US and Canada, so unless Sal knows of any I think this is going to be a tough search. Just curious, why not buy one at home? Why buy one in another country?
The other thing that came to mind when I first read it was that you were going on a turkey hunt and needed a place to buy a Spyderco for the adventure, in which case I recommend the Military. Works pretty well as a boning knife.

Re: buying spyderco in turkey side
Well there's nothing like speculating while waiting for more information :) I think it's a safe bet that the answer is that either they aren't available "at home" or at least not a good selection at good prices. As for where home is, "Bushido" is a Japanese word meaning something like "the way of the Samurai" which may or may not be a clue :D As for Japan, looking at Rakutan International, which I regard as something like Japanese eBay, the supply seems pretty limited. But I would bet it's much more limited in Turkey. Maybe he could get some Turkish knives and later trade them for Spydercos, LOLPayneTrain wrote:Haha ok T, ok.

By the way, the turkey bird is native only to North America, so few other people around the world would know about the double meaning :)

I was pretty sure that "bushido" in his name was misleading, and for once in a great while my memory was correct:DougC-3 wrote: As for where home is, "Bushido" is a Japanese word meaning something like "the way of the Samurai" which may or may not be a clue :D
This fellow is in fact from Norway. I'm pretty sure we have a few Norwegian members. Lamnia is Norwegian, idn't it?mrbushido wrote:hello im at the moment looking to buy this way to good looking folder.
anyone here know of any cheaper places to buy ? im in norway and the gayle bradley with taxes and all will come at around 300 bucks.
anyone know of lamnia.com sell real spydercos?
So tell us more, mrbushido! Don't worry about the English, the best way to learn is to just try try try!

Re: buying spyderco in turkey side
Lamnia is a dealer in Finland. I ordered my SB Stretch from them last year, bit pricey but great service. They have a big selection of knives, especially Scandinavian/Nordic knives.PayneTrain wrote: This fellow is in fact from Norway. I'm pretty sure we have a few Norwegian members.

MrBushido, if you are looking for Spyderco dealers in Turkey then I suggest you try google. I just had a quick look and I found this one in Istambul

If I were you I would be careful and make sure you don't buy a fake.

The "failure to communicate" quote is one of my favoritres... Cool Hand Luke, right? It's right on up there with "Go ahead, make my day." (Dirty Harry of course -- I always say this when I'm whizzing down the the road and people on side streets start to inch out in front of me :D )
Your second quote totally escapes me, but then I'm so far out of pop culture it took me about 3 years to find out what a Kardashian was (still don't know why anyone would care), and I thought the kid from Canada was Justin Beaver :rolleyes: :D

Re: buying spyderco in turkey side
Yes, Cool Hand Luke. A classic film, and one that's about almost nothing, which is a lost art. We need the whole world to hang in the balance to care anymore (Interstellar).
That other one is from a movie called Pootie Tang, which is a totally ridiculous and rather obscure movie that you shouldn't feel bad for not knowing about. It was a spoof on the old "Blacksploitation" movies. The main protagonist, Pootie Tang, spoke in a made-up language that only he knew but everyone else seemed to understand. The title of this thread reminded me of his more memorable quote: "Sine your pitty on the runny kine."

It does have a similar ring to it :)
