Spyderfly and Janisong in the USA

#1

Post by Hopweaver »

Is there any momentum for a new US release of the Spyderfly or Janisong?
Kershaw is entering the balisong market this year with a new knife called the Lucha in their 2020 Catalog.
I've had my eye on a Spyderfly and Janisong for years. Just wondering if I will ever have one. :D

I really want a Janisong! Got to flip one at SHOT Show a few years ago. Please do a Golden sprint run!

I've got a government stimulus check coming in the mail. Let's make a USA Janisong release a reality and take my money! :)

Got them both. Spyderfly is a knuckle busting brute though, and the Janisong could do with a slightly heavier "inner handle" for more momentum IMO.
Still like them both!

Do they not sell them in the US because balis aren't legal everywhere? They're legal in Texas, where I live.
The pen may be mightier than the sword, but the knife is cooler than the pen.

Thank you Spyderco! Reveal 6 is a homerun. The return of the balisong.

A US Janisong would be incredible. I hope they do some CQI on the Janisong clip prior to the US release. The current clip design does not fit very well on jeans. It needs to allow a little more space for material within the clip.
