Mhm... and that's even befor it has crossed the Atlantic and gobbled up a sh** load of VAT and other fees. I appreciate the heads up, but I think that ship has sailed for me. If FOMO kicks in really hard, I'm more likely to try the Spy27 sprint when they hit the stores.8th_Note wrote: ↑Thu May 29, 2025 10:43 amJust fyi, Bento Box Shop still has new HAP40 Meerkats in stock. The price is steep thoughaicolainen wrote: ↑Thu May 29, 2025 5:17 amMy heart skipped a beat when I saw the Meerkat, but after more consideration I'm not sure I can trust my initial gut feeling on this one.
A good few years back I came across the Hap40 sprint at a really good price, but I was quite new to Spyderco at the time and before I had time to do my research and realize it was indeed an interesting model and a VERY good price, it was already gone. I used to kick myself for not moving faster on that one, but quite some time has passed since that - and I have to make sure I'm not buying this knife to the old me (or the younger me, rather). It has happened before that I've bought items that I used to drool over in my younger years, when money was always in short supply - only to realize my needs and preferences had changed.

I only wish they released one in spyderedge too. I hope Sal will take this into consideration ! Just a small batch for those of us who prefer teeth on our blades.aicolainen wrote: ↑Thu May 29, 2025 4:51 amPolice 4, Spy27. Hadn't given it much thought until I saw it in the reveal, but that could be just the right version to introduce me to the P4. I don't have prior experience with Spy27, which makes it interesting all on its own. But from what I understand it should also be stainless enough for my intended outdoor applications. And while I'm not exactly unhappy with VG-10, my sock drawer is quite saturated with that steel, so the opportunity to choose a Seki variation with powder steel is quite welcome.

Nice reveal. I like the Lil Native, but I still like my Chaps and I am in strict saving mode until the end of the year. Also, I will buy the 15V Native once it drops, so nothing for me rn :-(

CE has become my favorite SE, and I definitely want to see more FFG CE wherever it may appear. If I could pick and choose I'd want a FFG CE S2XL LW Salt. MC or LC. But a FFG CE P4 in Spy27, that would be a no-brainer as well. Bring it on!

Yeah, the Meerkat is a really cool knife! I got mine years ago on a sprint run. Very unique and the phantom lock is great! I wish more knives had that lock.

The Chaparral and Bodacious are faves because they’re new flavors of faves, but the COBOL is the biggest fave here because it’s a new design that’s compellingly weird to me.

Re: Favorites from new Reveal
Manix XL Salt, Spy27 S2XL and Spy27 Yo2 are my favorites here.
Re: Favorites from new Reveal
I like the Spy27 Endela, Yojimbo 2, Microjimbo, and Meerkat.
I also feel like the blue-scaled Microjimbo is as close as I'll get to having something like the OG Yojimbo.

Shaman lightweight is the most interesting to me. Ugly scales, but I like the setup more than the original. If they did a Bodacious lightweight similar to this, that might be a practically perfect folder for my use.
