Tibo,
The Bi-Fold is not discontinued, but it was delayed. We're in the process of retooling for manufacturing it here in the U.S. I don't have an ETA at this point as we are still refining the details.

I believe they were going to make it in another country but customs didn't want them to import it, so that caused a big delay as now they have to find someone here in the US to make it. (just to throw a bit more meat on the story)
Follow the mushin, but pay it no heed.

There's a spring that kicks the other half out.

Is there any news on the Bi-fold? There are not restrictions on any knives in my country (ok, belt-buckle knives and other hiden knives are illegal, but Bali, OTF and Autos are OK) so I´d love to get an Embassy and a Bi-Fold.

Is there any chance Spyderco ships these knives to countries where they´re legal, or do I have to get them over US LEO friends?

EDIT: Sorry, just found the answer myself. Will get it from US friends when available. Woz

Is the spring the issue? Could the Bi-Fold design work without a spring assist?

I could deploy a car hood (bonnet?) with my well trained digits. Why should I be punished because some people need a spring? Could a springless Bi-Fold be possible?

The Bi-Fold interests me. I want to see a legal (NC. US.) version for me.
Not really all that slick ;)
