Spyderco Amsterdam Meet 2007 Report
T-Mag
Wouter- to echo all the others, those are some incredible pictures! Thanks so much for the report. I've asked previously in another thread about the T-Mag, but not very many people have handled one. I had a quick question for you: is there a back spacer or is the t-mag hollow (like a cricket and salsa)? Also, is there any kind of a stop when closing the blade, as there is on the UKPK?
Thanks!
Thanks!
Mike :cool:

Hi Michael - Please let me try to answer this one for you. I don't recall a back spacer on the T-Mag. As you probably know the T-Mag operates with the help of rare earth magnets. These insure the knife's open and closed positions. There is a stop when closing and when opening but it is not a conventional ballbearing detend stop. It is the magnet that keeps things closed or open.
It also is the user's forefinger that helps to secure the knife open. This is very nifty, as it very well prevents the knife from closing while in use. I hope this answers more of your questions as it will raise.....(?)

The full 100% I would say, they are in the catalog as a regular item.

The Kopas have been coming out every 4-5 months. The Abalone/Pearl ones began shipping in late August/early September. My "guesstimate" would be somewhere between late December and early February for the jigged bone ones.jaislandboy wrote:shouldn't be much longer, Knifeworks has it listed as coming soon:
