Do you think this knife would be a good choice as my second spyderco purchase? I have an orange delica. Are sprint runs hard to find?

Welcome to the forums! The Lava would be an interesting second addition to your collection to say the least! Spyderco sprints last anywhere from literally minutes in availability to years, depends on the models... Spyderco has evolved over the recent years especially to offer products that are gone before you know it (unless you have deep pockets to pay big bucks for them on the 'bay from the flippers). Hope that helps (?), cheers :)

The Lava is also not a normal production knife so outside of ebay etc, the sprint is the only way to get it. I've never owned a Lava and love the little big knives so I'll be getting it.

Thanks for the welcome! I've been on this site a few times, figured I should sign up!
Interesting because it is a sprint? Or because it is too different than my delica? Sounds like I'll really have to keep my eye out for the Lava!

Hi Paul & Mama,

Welcome to our forum.

Hey Willydigger,

I have a a production sample, which I received a week or so ago, so I would guess they're in QC.

As far as how they'll go? We have no idea. The original design is a Chad Los Banos creation. At the time he was a forumite on our forum and I believe this was his first design that was made by a production house. Now Chad designs regularly for Boker. The Lava is an interesting design. The dropped blade required some interesting lockback engineering to be able to make it.

Welcome to the Forum.
Lave is affis knife. It is an fugly Spyderco knife with terrific ergos. Once you put it in you hand, it will stay there. Do not underestimate it's short blade. It is very capable.
Good luck

Couple places that have them for "pre-order" show the MSRP at $225. Assuming that's correct, then most US "street prices" will be in the $130 to $150 range.

I think it was $145 for the KC pre-order, so that was indeed a pretty good guess there Paul!
