Cutleryshoppe exclusive?

[Hopsbreath]

The Dark Beaver is sold out now.

Seems like it went quicker than the satin, good for CS. They’re one of my favorite Spyderco suppliers and I’m glad to see them do well. Here’s a plug for the XHP Satin Chief that is still available.

Wow, that was fast … glad I jumped.
Can anyone share insight on the number of pieces in this run?

Aren't sprint runs typically 1,200 pieces?

It often varies, not all sprints are 1200 piece runs. This was an exclusive though, which have changed quite a bit in the past few years.

I believe the minimum number of pieces for exclusive orders used to be as low as 400 pieces but that limit was increased as demand grew. As far as I know Spyderco has never shared what the order limit was increased to but I imagine this exclusive was ordered during that period. As orders for exclusives increased, their production capacity was reaching its limits and they had to put a freeze on ordering exclusives all together. I believe the freeze for ordering is still active.

So basically, without knowing exactly, this run was definitely more than 400 pieces and most likely less than 2400 pieces.
