I had to look up "schadenfreude", but indeed feel it with you! Nice word!MJF wrote:I'd be okay with that.
It's a good word.

Kristi, I've taken a pass on the Forum Knife in favor of the announced CF Native5. Should we infer from your comments that it will be a while before production quantities of S110V will get cut for the next Native5? If so, what's a while?TazKristi wrote:We honestly didn't make more. Sadly that just isn't possible (takes more time than people think to get parts cut, etc.). There are just a small number that are still in the production process. Stragglers if you will. :)

Well, this is good news potentially, though 4 days later, getting on the wait list is pointless at this point, considering how fast they sold out.
Enjoy your sharp things ladies and gentlemen :cool:

At MSRP, too...which several members here have said is abusive. :) :rolleyes:Pinetreebbs wrote:Howes Knife Shop has some collectors for sale.

You have a point. Still, MSRP isn't too bad, on eBay some, "Buy-It-Now" prices are over $300 and there are bids below that.JNewell wrote:At MSRP, too...which several members here have said is abusive. :) :rolleyes:

Not in my opinion. I don't feel scalped when I pay MSRP for a knife I know someone purchased for a lot less - but I also recognize that that's a purely personal opinion. :)Pinetreebbs wrote:You have a point.

The MSRP is much higher than what most are accustomed to paying retail. Still, if I bought a quality folding knife bound to keep it's value and perform admirably for decades I don't know what is a proper price. You can hand most of these down to the next generation.JNewell wrote:Not in my opinion.

On that level $109 for a Delica and $300 for a Native5 Forum Knife seems accurately "valued".

My apology, I figured your post reflected the comments of this thread and others about the Forum knife. I agree with you. I paid MSRP for an original micarta scaled Shabaria from Country Knives and MSRP+ for older Spyderco knives I wanted to add to my collection.JNewell wrote:Not in my opinion.
