Ahh!! Yes!! The BRam Frank Gunting. One of Spyderco's hall of fame "shoo ins" for sure. I have the S30V version CE and I would like to have another 440V PE like the one Doctor Lecter and I bartered on. But I know it got in it's proper hands. That knife truly changed Doctor Lecter and I am 99% sure he will back me up on that one. It has caused me to want to take the classes that Bram Frank does so well. I have a gut level feeling that the Great Spyder Factory will bring that one back with some modifications. The metals are great being S30V and 440V ( S60V). OK Doctor it is all yours. :cool: :spyder:

Bram Frank is a very knowledgable instructor and the Gunting model is an excellent concept.

If you do have an opportunity to study with Bram, take it.

We do not have inventory of the Gunting at this time. Bram has taken all remaining invenentory.

For a time. All things must pass, as the saying goes...

For the better, I might add. I am never without the Gunting.

Check out the excellent DVD set "The Gunting: An Instructor's View" available through the CSSDSC website]I have a gut level feeling that the Great Spyder Factory will bring that one back with some modifications. [/QUOTE]

I have reservations about that happening anytime soon.

Both steels are excellent in this application.

If you collect knives, you need a Gunting. If you collect Spyderco knives, you need a Gunting. If you practice MBC, you already know that you need a Gunting. ;)

I believe you meant that Bram was a student of Modern Arnis under Prof. Remy Presas.

Dave's Amry Surplus is actually in New Westminster, just to clearify in case there is any lurkers from the lower mainland looking for a good knife store.

Sooo, how much was it, and is it still there? I am in the market for a new one, especially if it is a plain edge!

Did you go the seminar this year? You're the same Clinton that was at the Vancouver one last year right?

I've never actually been into Dave's so I don't know if they have any and if they do I do not know the prices. I just know where the store is. :D
