It must be close now, but I can only speculate (while refreshing the thread over and over)...

Just a question about the steel used. Is there an idiot's guide to knife steel us non informed can look to see what it all means in laymans terms. I mean what is the difference in the steel used in this knife and the one used in their regular production knife, versus an old fashioned D2 knife? Other than rust of course... I know the steel making topic has many degrees and college classes required to follow and understand, but in terms of what the users need to know about the steel, where does this blades steel fit in? Good, better, best or you gonna need to keep a good sharpener handy cause cutting the air will dull this blade?!?!!!

Thanks for any info you guys feel like sharing. Can't wait to get this in. I know some of you guys have been waiting a long time...

Good info here, although it clearly hasn't been updated in awhile. It does not include the newer "super" steels, but it will still give you a good knowledge base.

so close...so excited.... im lovin the skylines, added 2 to the lineup since this thread, orange and the regular.
 
Lol if I was spark I would give updates on how many have sold but wouldn't say when the order came in. Id just ship them out and let everyone get a sweet surprise.

The truly great aspect of buying this knife is that the proceeds go to supporting this forum. You're not just paying for a great blade; you're supporting the knife enthusiast community as well.

So thanks again!

Thank you -- well said!
 
No offence, but I know he's doing us a big favor organizing this, but you would think he would chime in any day now. Perhaps he's on a holiday?
 
I put my order in a couple months ago so I don't mind a bit longer, lol I would be as nice to spark as possible there are going to be 500 of these things he is going to have to ship and on top of that most people didn't leave their forum name in the notes section of the order so he has to sort all of that out. Even when he gets these It is going to take some time and work to get them out.
 
I am champing at the bit for any update on this! I noticed Spark hasn't posted on any thread in a week or so, is this common for him? Maybe he's sorting the order? :D
