Lava!!
Is there any chance of the reintroduction of the Lava model with a sprint run or maybe even being put back into production? If no, what you guys think a reason price range for one would be? Thanks!
I sure hope to see a Lava sprint!
I LOVE mine!
A brand new in the box lava went for 142$ on the bay. Since the auction has ended, I do not see a problem posting the link http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... K:MEWAX:IT
About 2 months ago I got mine(a factory second, with no issues!) for 30 bucks!!!

I think $142 is a serious fluke. I've personally seen half a dozen sold for about $65-75 on candlepower forums NIB.
Chad or Sal could answer that question better than I but he's been making quite a few knives through Boker Plus lately. I would rather see a BIG lava made (3-3.5" blade) or one with a hawkbill or wharnie. What the heck, how about a trailing point? :)

There's been some discussion about a new sprint with G10 to make it lighter. Of course, Deacon correctly pointed out that it would require new tooling so that may not be likely - unless they can do aluminum. I would like a little longer blade and G10 or CF or just something lighter.

How long ago did you see this? Few month ago they were everywhere in this range, not anymore.Blerv wrote:I've personally seen half a dozen sold for about $65-75 on candlepower forums NIB.

I got 3 of them for 150ish from the same guy. I think we're talking about March-ish.Scottie3000 wrote:I agree that $142 is high. I bought two for less than $130 only a couple months ago. There was an EBay seller from Canada with great "buy it now" deals. IDK if that is still going.

For a knife that's been discontinued for a while they sure languished at $70 or so for a while. Weird they would all but dry up. I guess that's what happened to the Adventura too (glad I got one).

I would like to see a few blade shapes on the lava. I really think a cricket/dodo-style recurve would be cool on there.

I regret not getting a spare when they were readily available.

I was the one who paid the $142.50 from that eBay listing! I know it was probably a bit much but the stock of these things seems to be drying up..... and the $142 really didn't seem that high to me. I had done an extensive google search for a Lava a few months ago and found only 1. At the time i thought it to be so rare that i didn't even want to carry it :-/ So I figured I would look for a spare....call me crazy :) Yes I would love to see a sprint run with G-10 or a reverse S curve and serrations... but I would have to buy 2 LOL!
Another sold on the bay for 102...

Seems as though 100-150 is now the selling price :)
