Pre-ordering upcoming knives

[ErnestS]

Hi everyone. I'm new here, and quickly becoming a fan and owner of many :spyder: 's!

I have a quick (and possibly dumb) question about pre-ordering new knives. Is it possible to pre-order knives that are unreleased? I noticed that several vendors/dealers are taking pre-orders for the carbon fiber Kopa. Also, I would love to pre-order a G-10 DragonFly to get one as soon as it becomes available.

Thanks for all your help. I apologize in advance if this is a ridiculous question to ask.

Yes it is possible. In fact, many people ordered the black Lum Chinese folder over two years in advance.

BTW welcome to the forum! Enjoy your stay here :)

Ernest,
Welcome to the Spyderco Forums. We hope you enjoy your time with us. The only ridiculous question is the one you don't ask. We're a pretty easy going forum, so don't hesitate to ask questions here.

Thanks for all the welcomes. So, I guess my follow-up question is whether I can pre-order the G-10 DragonFly through Spyderco? If so, is there a specific person that I need to contact at the company?

I doubt Spyderco does pre-orders.

Remember to always pre-order from a reputable dealer. Make sure they don't charge your card till the knife ships. If it is a Sprint Run, you might want to make sure where you are on the list.

With the exception of Forum Knives Spyderco does not generally take pre-orders themselves. Your best bet is to make arrangements with a dealer you are already doing business with. Next best would be to find a reputable dealer who accepts pre-orders. In the case of a model like the G-10 Dragonfly, which is going to be regular production once released, there probably will not be a whole lot of people who have already pre-ordered them.

Currently spyderco has not announced a price or a SKU for the g10 dragonfly. Once they do you will see more preorders become available.

Thanks everyone for the info. Since it may be a while before we see the G-10 Dragonfly, I decided to order a SS-etched Dragonfly.

Of course, I would still prefer the G-10 with wire clip, but I think the etched version will hold me over until the G-10 becomes available. :cool:

SS Etched Dragonfly is my "Suit" knife, when i want something classy and not too scary for Joe the Plumber. Just a nice pocket knife that does a great job.
