hehe...maybe we can start a Malaysian Spyderco Club.....if there isnt one already......

[hy]

also, are there any good engravers in kl as i have this habit of engraving my nameon my knives and tools....i live in usj so any place close to that would be even better.

[sam the man..]

Spyderco Club? Ummmm... Sounds like a good idea! <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle> Maybe we should meet up and post some pictures in this forum...
Engravers? Try those locksmith shops in big malls. You may get a good one there...

Ummm.. Here comes the hairy part! Knives are subjected to duty and sales tax... That's 25%+10% I normally bring em in without much hassles.. But if you are about to purchase via mail order, anything over USD 50 will be detained and subjected to taxation... <img src="sad.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

Here's the latest update :
I just explored Bob's tackle shop in Sunway. He has a coupla knives which are very up-to-date... Saw a G-10 Lum Tanto, Moran Drop point and a SS rookie among the lot.. <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

samo, i thought the rookie was out of production......

[sam the man..]

I think it is... There's a G-10 version at Eddy's and a SS version at Bob's.. <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

Samo, just out of curiosity, where do you usually buy your spydercos from? Do you get them from Tight Lines and the ss14 shop or order them from places like bayou lafourche? And do you go to Singaopre to get them as well? I'm currently in Australia at the moment but a friend in KL who's also interested in Spydies wants to get a few....thanks.

[sam the man..]

both shops. <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle> I try to support them...

Thanks samo.....i do believe in trying to support local knife shops as well.....do they bring the less common models like the gunting, chinook etc??

Hey guys!
Don't know if you're still following this thread but I just picked up my Spyderco Chinook from Eddys today. If you're ever going to be around the Bangsar area on a Sunday or Monday let me know. We can get together and talk knives. One of the other Chiropractors here in town used to be a custom knife maker. He suggested Cold Steel (and they are sweet) but I couldn't resist my Chin-y. It just felt so good in the hand and open easier too. Important in a real situation.

Drbones....nice to meet another malaysian knife nut........congrats on the chinook....it's my favourite spyderco and i have a 2 myself (i numbered). How much did you get it for and did you have to specially order it or did Eddie have it sitting in his shop?BTW, i've only been to tight lines so far and wanted to know which of the 2 has better prices. Thanks.
