Rich

Maybe Sal will chime in and shed some light on the subject. :)

Good to see some mispers again ... There's life in the old dog yet :p

Greetings Peter. It's been awhile my friend! :D

Congratulations Rich. I can't tell you how happy I am that it landed in your hands. Enjoy it in good health my friend!

And thank you Henning!

Awesome thanks Joyce! :D

My family will be there. I'm at T10 and Martin will be at T11. Spyderco usually has a table and sells some seconds an other knives to club members Friday. They usually show prototypes Saturday. I'm in my 25th year at the show and there has always been something from Spyderco in my show envelope for...

I'll be there Saturday and Sunday with my son-in-law who is fairly new to knife collecting. I met Sal, Gail and Eric at the OKCA show back in 2007 i believe it was and am looking forward to meeting the forumites that will be there at this next one.

I emailed BladeHQ today and they replied to say they did sell a batch of orange ones and were planning to sell another batch as soon as they can get some from Spyderco. No timeframe or other info given. My guess is the batch they're waiting on will definitely be the "SFGP" version. (Safe ...

I'm not quite understanding these. Is there going to be a drop of the orange with the safety to the general public or are they still just coast guard issue. I sure wouldn't mind grabbing one to go with my black one. From the letter sent out from Blade HQ I would surmise that there is indeed going t...

I want to express my appreciation as well on how much work goes into the awesome catalogs that come out each year at no cost to us. Thanks much Sal and company!!

If it was mine i would send it to Sal and let him check it out. My 2 cents.

I've had that happen twice now with the last 2 catalogs I've received from the SFO. The package came slaughtered and missing some stickers i had them throw in. I think a tyvek type envelope would be a better idea for shipping catalogs and such.

Blade HQ had a few in stock but were gone the same day. Now it says they're discontinued.

I got mine. Of couse i had to find an orange g10 satin blade to go with it.

Looks legit to me. My experience with this seller has always been positive and the knives have been authentic.

Spyderco sold those boxes through the SFO a number of years ago for $10 and they came in a white cardboard box. A friend in Golden sent me one back in 2008 and I ended up taking the mountain scene overlay piece off and underneath was the WTC Twin Towers logo. They were left over boxes from the WTC p...

Agreed Peter!

dtoad wrote:Great post, I must own a orange version soon. Killer pics here, thank for sharing.

Thanks! It looks so much better in person. It's really quite a stunning piece and it should be due to the 7 years it took to perfect it. That's a lot of hard work and dedication and I'm very grateful to own it!

Thanks! It's quite the photogenic piece.

I've never owned an Embassy but I've had many Citadels. I hope to find an Embassy one of these days. They seldom seem to come up for sale. I'd love a Citadel too. I've never had the pleasure of owning either. The black on black with the contoured handle is really nice looking. I rarely see those ei...

Come on Felly. Do not blame Michael. You would get this knife anyway :) :D

You know me all to well Roman! :D
