I always hated this thread. So many great knives got an ax, since I am here.

The Lil’ Lionspy is a great knife. It was my first product made by Lionsteel. The fit and finish are great and the intricacy of their CNC machining is amazing. I’ve since bought other products from Lionsteel and am now a fan.

I’ve been thinking about the Ti Pingo for my wife. She likes the anodized logo.

But what will I do with my Pingo Sprint then? :eek:

Maybe I‘ll give it to the wifey... :rolleyes:

It first appeared in the 2013 guide, so it's a little on the older side. And it was built to comply with a specific country's laws, laws that are no longer on the books. I'm guessing that the Spy-DK might also be on the way out too, unless it's worth keeping since it's based on the UKPK.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
you killing me.

I am very sad to see T2 go, unless Sal will make T3
But Ti Fluted N5 is the huge loss.
I am glad that I bought Ti Fluted Military

Yeah this is sad. I sold my fluted Millie because wanted to save that money for when they came out with one with the upgrades. Ugh, now they won’t. Might buy another now IF someone discounts. Otherwise, se la vie.

No surprises here. None of those knives seem like they would be great sellers. (Not speaking of the Salt 1's or Tasmans that now have a version 2)

I bought 3 Ti Pingos from KnifeCenter--all had horribly off center blades. Ultimately found 2 elsewhere that were straight. Just FYI.

KC lets me add the Lil Lionspy to my cart but it doesn’t have the “In Stock” sign like all the other knives. Any idea if it’s probably a dud and already sold out at that killer deal of $159? Might have to just order it and find out huh..

I've been eyeing both the Temp 2 and SouthFork for a while... not sure I have the funds for both... which should I get?!?

The PITS is the one I'm most tempted by on this list (already have a South Fork). I've stayed away because the price is relatively high and I've never been a big fan of metal handles. Wonder if there's any chance it comes back in a g10 version...

I always loved the looks of the Firefly too, but it's too much of a righty knife for me.

Ding ding. Your number is up! . (KC)

What did people find off about it?

I know for one it was plagued by some of the worst lock stick ever.

I still really hope the give it the ole CQI and make a Nirvana 2. Knife has SO much potential.

Oh man... this is so very tempting. I know I‘ll hate myself if I miss this opportunity......

Do you guys know if ebay retailers adapt their prices to the reduced levels. Trying to avoid the $16 shipping costs to Germany at KC...

I just used a coupon on eBay and it was shipped from national knives. So, some of the usual retailers are on there.

I know they‘re on ebay. But are they reducing the prices, too. To KC level or below?

Edit: National wants almost 35€ for shipping to Germany, that‘s more than twice what KC takes. :mad:

last year when spyderco discontinued models eBay sellers lowered their prices, especially the sellers that are also web retailers

Some surprising one for sure, wasnt expecting the nirvana or the southard to go anywhere.

Lil lionspy at $160 is a steal... Really wish it wasn't so thick and overbuilt
