That's what I was tinking, any idea what shipping h might be, I've never bought anything from the EU

I'm guessing it will be around $25 maybe a little more depending on exchange rates. If you order make sure you do it by email, as US citizens you are not eligible for UK VAT (you'll get 20% off the listed price) and when it arrives in the States I don't think you have any import duties or tax to pay. The same goes for Canadians but I think you might have some import duty and tax to pay.

I forgot he is in the UK. It will be interesting to see how that one sells.

If the Vallottons, Butch and Rainy will offer D/A conversions of the new Vallotton i'm game. If not, i'm not :)

Thanks Jon, I will keep that in mind. :)

I'm surprised there aren't any firsthand reports from forum users who attended the Shot Show... Want to hear from anyone who got to see (and touch) the PM3. :)

Lots of new Compression Lock folders in the works!

Here's a list of current (first three) and upcoming Spyderco folders with Compression Lock:

1. ParaMilitary2
2. Szabo folder
3. Yojimbo2
4. WolfSpyder
5. ATR
6. Sage 5
7. Minuteman
8. Ouroboros
9. Lil’ Temperance 2
10. Shaman

I'd like to add one more to your list Ramzar, the ray mears wolfspyder, we haven't heard a whole lot about this one but is looks interesting.

Added it. Somehow forgot even though it was even in the catalog!

Also, while I'm glad to have a compression lock Sage 5, I think they could have been more inventive with the handle material. I mean, really, carbon fiber and black G10 are way over used. I would have liked to see something a little more interesting, like C-Tek, Kirinite, or even wood.

Agreed, they should have done something to make it visually a bit more different from the Sage 1. At least the Sage 3 CF uses a different pattern. I would like to see the Sage 5, if it's going to use G-10/fiber, use either a non black fiber (silver, green, yellow, etc.) like Kevlar or aluminized fiberglass (solid or laminate), or do something like the blue weave CF they used on the Domino limited run. Cost-wise, these would be quite similar to the CF/G-10 they're going to use, but gives it a different look. I think C-Tek, Kirinite, or wood, while looking cool, might add a moderately significant price increase due to material cost and complexity of machining.

What? There's a Para3 in the works? Any more info?

Yup, +1

Reportedly, there is a prototype for this model... See post #2 in this thread:

I really enjoyed that interview... :)

[farnorthdan]

That was a great interview, I like that Sal and Eric are real down to earth folks and seem very humble. I also like what they said about working for the end user, these guys get it.

[sabb8pro2]

Great interview. Great guys. Great company. Is anyone familiar with the 1st knife Sal was carrying? I think he called it a "Caribbean". Looks like a leaf-shaped blade and a compression lock?!

I'm also very curious about that knife! Was that an impromptu knife reveal? Sounds promising.

[Jazz]

Sal really is the king of casual bombshells. Just sneaks 'em in there like a bit of flatulation in an elevator.

[Liquid Cobra]

He said the Caribbean was made with LC200N. High end Salt? Looks like it might be a compression lock with FRN scales.

[WireEdge Roger]

I'm in for a Caribbean! It almost looked like a Manix 2, but it was definitely a Compression Lock.

[SpyderNut]

Thanks for posting the video, Scroop. That was my favorite interview from SHOT. Very well done. :) It is neat to see the special relationship that is shared between Sal and Eric--not to mention their passion for designing and making high quality knives.

The Caribbean in LC200N has my full attention. I like the sea-foam green (FRN?) handle scales too. :D
