Any news on the lil/mini p'kal?
Anyone see them at recent shows, any production news, anyone at spyderco play with the prototype?

Any movement on this? Hoping Shot Show 2023 will have a Prototype and more people will check it out and report back.

With it being restocked here in the States, any knife shop here that will ship to you at a reasonable rate?

Shipping isn't the problem. We need to pay taxes (21% of purchase and shipping) and an import tax (between 4 to 9%) and an "import fee" of 32 €. You need to fill in paperwork and send it to the import office and it will take you a few weeks to a few months. Then they will send it to customs and if they think it's a weapon you loose the package and all the money you paid for import and taxes.
So a 200 usd knife with 25 dollar shipping becomes a 327€ knife.....if you get it thrue customs.

I feel your pain, its a knife I would never let go off, I was fortunate to get one when they came out. But if you can get it from the US for that price I would not hesitate, ordering it in Europe will set you back for the same amount at the prices I see them pop up from time to time in EU webshops
