Hi BlaedDive,

Welcome to our forum.

Hey Suprfool,

We make them available. Whether they make it to the UK is generally up to the distributors and dealers.

What about a drop point one sir ? At least a small batch for those of us who like that blade shape…

Thank you for the warm welcome, I hope you're well! Fingers crossed Heinnie Haynes or somewhere similar picks them up and distributes them in U.K. Only time will tell I guess...

Also can anyone confirm if it has the full length backspring and 4 pin construction that was shown at Shot Show? The latest pictures only show 3 pins

Just got this in the mail, and I'm impressed. It's every bit as nice as the HH exclusives and it's great that it's regular production. I'll be using it often.

With the rest of the gang (S110V LW, LC200N Salt & HH S30V drop point)

Still scratching my head how the SPY27 G10 model is less expensive than the SPY27 LW.

I’m glad it’s a four-pin / full-length backspring construction like the HH edition.

Very much looking forward to this model landing in the U.K. I can finally give my UKPK salt a rest from EDC duties.

I ended up just ordering it from the U.S, I'm pretty sure even with international delivery it's worked out cheaper than what the eventual price will be in U.K retailers. It should arrive in the next couple days, cant wait to try it out, SPY27 is a great EDC steel

Yes, something tells me I don’t think we’ll be lucky enough to get the G10’s cheaper than the FRN’s here. They’ll likely go for the usual premium.

Who did you order it from if don’t mind me asking?

I have a friend in the US who has offered to send me a couple. Not sure if there is anything else I should ask him to send over that I can't get here.
Any ideas anyone?

Deadwood Knives. Very fast service and hassle free so far. It's cleared customs with no issues or additional charges. Should be here tomorrow

Thanks BladedDive, that looks a good price. Shipping and Postage is reasonable too assuming there won’t be any hidden charges this side.

It arrived today mate. No customs fees, I paid for the FedEx Express shipping, I wasn't ID'd either upon delivery. Knife is in perfect condition, it's a beaut! Would highly recommend the company and the knife

I'd assume the total price since it's multiple will mean a customs fee when they reach U.K, but hopefully the cheaper price buying from U.S offsets it if that's the case. Congrats on the new purchases!

Thanks for letting me know, I shall likely make an order with them. Always good to hear the success stories when importing knives into the U.K.
