Same for me, this will be my first Forum Knife, and s90v, if I can land one...any ideas on production numbers?
Im In!! This is my first forum knife pretty exciting stuff here I gotta say. Was not really in to this knife prior but love the color, steel choice, price and back lock ultimately talking myself in to one, you know the story. Gotta be on radar for sure to get a hold of one of these babies, especially with this bunch! Good luck to all!

Would be my first forum knife and my first S90V knife. Native1 was my first Spydie and I just spend 2 weeks in Belgium loving to EDC my new Native5 LW.
Hoping the S110V LW will follow soon and then hopefully still a light gray FRN and Cruwear sprint, hopefully with enough time in between to raise the funds.
Ha Ha! I could have used that for the last forum knife. As I recall, I was so sick I used my laptop lying flat on my back, but managed to get an order in for the green Native 5 and K390 mule about 10 minutes after the sale opened. I didn't try for 10 minutes because I figured the server would be jammed :p Little did I know how badly they would be slammed later.
K-390 on hand: Mule Team 17, Police 4 G-10, Endela (burlap micarta), Endela backup, Endura (canvas micarta), Straight Stretch (now blade-swapped with G-10 Stretch), Delica Wharncliffe, Dragonfly Wharncliffe, & Dragonfly Wharncliffe shorty mod Note to self: Less is more.
Very cool. I hope to land a forum knife. I've been hanging around and reading for a couple/few years now but never tried for one. I think I'll give it a go. Nice color, thank you Spyderco.

Enjoy you lucky fellas that get one.
*UK HMRC is currently 'doing a NYC' and anything which can be opened with even 5 heavy wrist flicks they are counting as a 'gravity knife'- impounding it, then destroying it.....Even when the knife in question patently isn't a gravity knife and is already available in the UK....Sad but unless you've got probably £5k+ to fight it in magistrates court you won't be getting your knife back.
Where has this info come from?
The last Spydies I had from the US were the USN ladyhawks but I've had 2 x M390 Ritter Minigrips from KW (2 separate orders) in the last month and they open as fluid as a PM2...

From bitter experience on the British Blades forums I'm afraid....It's hit and miss, for sure.
What is your experience from the last years - are the forum knifes sold out in the first 60 seconds or do I have time for a nice order ceremony with coffee and cakes? ;-)
I am so excited, I hope I got the right european time for the order.

Good luck guys and girls...
It is difficult to say for sure, but I would think these should be available for a little while, at least. I'd be very shocked if they sold out in one week, let alone one day. :) So break out the coffee and cake my good man! :D
