As an international Spydie lover myself I completely understand the frustration with models like these which are so popular. They are almost impossible to come by for us because we need to compete with all the US buyers also who are most of the time local (in terms of country) to the store selling the product. I guess I have made peace with it and just frolic around the regular production models that are more available to me.

The perspective Knife Joy has on the international shipping with this run makes sense to me. Remember that they would never have struggled to sell them locally anyway, so why go through the additional admin, expense and risk to ship internationally?

I am sure it is nothing against the international customer but rather just smart business sense. Shipping internationally opens them up to so much more in terms of fraud, Co-vid delays, import issues, potential insurance claims, etc. In the case of a model like the Slysz Bowie they would also not be able to help an international customer whose knife perhaps gets seized/stolen by customs to replace it, because there simply are none left by that time. That would result in a very unhappy customer who was looking forward to an exclusive model but now has no further chance of securing one. It seems to me a case of Knife Joy rather not wanting to make a promise they cannot guarantee keeping towards international customers (with this run specifically).

As I understand it he has a CC with the Visa logo on it from his Italian bank, and if he calls his bank ahead of time and tell them he's buying from the US then when he buys something it will work with any US cc payment processor that accepts Visa. I'm not swearing on a stack of bibles or anything, but that's how I understand it...

Just watched the new video about the knife, if more variations are coming to other retailers then I'll be happy to wait for someone who will ship to Australia to bring out their version. I am ok with the price, ive been kicking myself for years I didn't buy the original.

Link to the video? Also, I can't find the offical Knifejoy on IG... Any ideas? I don't use social media so I'm probably missing something. Thank you in advance.

So, has anyone heard a solid number on these? I've seen 1000 and 1200.

Wonder how fast they sell out?

Working fine now, but I just cannot get myself to jump that hurdle. I hope everyone who can gets one.

Finally got one. Man their website was not ready for this. When are people going to learn to rent a whole lot more server power for things like this, lol?

Welp, somehow I have made it through checkout I think. The confirmation page is stuck on loading, but it shows up in my order history, and Discover just pinged me for a pending charge.

Good luck guys and gals, keep persistent and I hope y'all have sucess!

That was rather challenging. The site would not display payment options, so I cleared caches, restarted the checkout process, moved through some server errors, and may have gotten one.
