There's also the consideration that even some "stock" colors of G-10 may cost more than others. Hard to say how many of the folks who voted for the M2 would still be interested if it cost more than $86.Sequimite wrote:Custom FRN is relatively inexpensive, custom G10 VERY expensive, so we're picking a custom color for the FRN UKPK and are looking for what G10 and possibly Micarta colors are easily available.
No problem, we all do it sometimes, or at least I do. :) Just didn't seem logical, given the price point of the G-10 version and the higher production costs in Japan. Thought maybe someone had said it would be GIN-1 and you made the same incorrect leap of logic I made the first time I read the FRN UKPK would be using that. :oSequimite wrote:Oh $H1T, I blew that big time. In the video Wouter posted Eric refers to the FRN Manix2 as a US made knife. Since I left it off the model selection poll it didn't get a chance to be selected.
However, since it may not be out this year, I guess we can ignore it.
I'd agree that its non-appearance in supplement does not bode well for its release this year, so leaving it out of the poll was not a bad decision. Be worse to have a landslide vote for something that turns out to be impossible for Spyderco to give us.
