Forum Knife... Some (Limited) Info

[TazKristi]

First, we thank all of you for your interest, your passion and your continued desire for a forum knife. We've heard you, we're always watching/reading.

I cannot release details at this time, but we are working on a forum knife for you for 2012. I can only say that it is a USA Made model. We're working out some details and scheduling issues.

Please bear with us and know that as soon as it's possible to announce details, I will.

Kristi

I'll throw some fuel on the fire... Lightweight UKPK anyone?

+1 I'd love it to be the UKPK lightweight ... actually it's the only one that I could afford at the moment.

Also, if I may, Kristi ... can you investigate ways to make the knife accessible to forumites in the UK? I think the SFO postage here was a bit pricey last time I looked and to pass British Customs someone would have to tighten the pivot. All US traders do this when asked so I hope you can too

how light of a knife do you need. I thought ukpk is pretty light to begin with. Plus, there already is a lightweight ukpk. In either words. It wouldn't be anything special.
pretty sure native 5 w/s110v or another high end steel is the consensus.
if that's not legal where you're at. There are other ways to get it passed customs.

Wouldn't get my hopes up too high for that. The purple C41 Native wasn't what most folks expected last time. Time will tell, but Spyderco went with relatively affordable models for the last few and the Native V would be on the expensive side even in S35VN.

Not sure what you mean here ... I'm saying that I'm happy with the existing UKPK Lightweight as a platform for the forum knife.

My only query is getting it shipped to the UK in a cheap way that meets the UK's over-zealous Customs regulations. It's perfectly legal to own a folding knife in the UK as long as it isn't an automatic, a gravity knife or a balisong and they can be carried too, if they are a sub 3-inch non-locker or you have a good reason. The problem is that the Customs department that handles international post are going for high seizure rates and seem to have decided that they have an issue with any knife that is smooth opening. So to keep them happy people have been asking US traders to tighten the pivot before posting ... or we buy through UK traders at an inflated price.

I agree 100%

Please tighten the pivot for the UK buyers.

I'm with Roman, I'd like to see the Native 5, though honestly, I would be happy just to get one, whatever it is!
Thanks Kristi, and everyone at SPYDERCO, for thinking of your members on the forum, it really does make a big difference to us!
