I am the kiss of death for Spyderco lines! :eek: :(

Oh wait, I own a Yojimbo ... IT'S DOOMED!!

Expect the Pickle Knife to be cancelled almost immediately, 'cause I've been waiting over a year for it.
Well Mr. Donut, I believe I speak for Spyder enthusiasts everywhere when I ask you to go soak in a glass of milk until you crumble into tiny little, soft mush. Only then will our treasured blades be safe! :p ;)

Fret not. In the next few weeks/months is likely to be the best prices available on this model as some dealers liquidate their stock. Although, until I am able to add a few to my locker, I feel your anxiety. ;)

Especially as I have several pop cans that have been giving me lip and require a good slashing ala Daywalker!

I'm saving for the Persian myself...but I assumed it being discontinued meant prices would go down at least a bit...sooo, at least thats a good thing.

It did well enough to have a mini version made of it. The Kris is similar to it as well, made by the same dude! :p :) :p

Well I suggest we start a thread heralding the merits of the Yojimbo in order to increase sales and push it into many future updates. I recommend getting JD Spydo involved in the project as his enthusiasm counts for stirring up much in recalcitrant spydienuts. ;) :spyder:

Kind of like a humiliating kick in the crotch...you don't expect it and boy does it hurt...especially a few seconds after the initial shock. :( :eek:

Chinook II is not away. Only the current CE model.

A new version is in the 2006 catalog...

Aloha ALL,

NOT good to see after spending so much time in **** these past few days...I will echo what has been said about the Persian. :(

Thank you Ed.

God bless,
Chad :cool:

this is depressing. I've been away from the forum for a bit of time, and i return to such depressing news. The persian is at the top of my wish list, and i love the dodo. so much for X-mas shopping for the family, i need to stockpile and keep myself supplied. Especially since i "wounded " my dodo over the weekend.

I wouldn't worry too much about the cancellation of the large Persian, we're getting two new ones in return! A mini Persian and a Kris!

The Chinook that's left should be called the Chinook III really. Even though it's only available in PE.
