To even use the word "swindle" as a possible inference derived from this is insulting to me as a member of this community that Spark provides to everyone here.

It wasn't an inference, it was an implication. He implied a swindling, you then inferred it. :D

On that note, I'm going to order another one! Woot!
 
Some of these last posts made me LOL, thanks, just had a loooong life draining meeting, needed that. Between the humor (got scared and big red button thread, had that feeling at work once or twice when I couldn't login, so that part made me literally LOL) and getting a NOV delivery date, my day is much better now!

So how many of you guys are gonna get that knife in November, wrap it up and stick it under the tree :D. I mean, for you guys that ordered in April, December ain't that much different, right ;)?

Spark, would it be possible to say exactly how many there are to hit 500 please? And from now on we can count down (everyone who buys one decrement the number!). And is that ALL there are going to be produced, 500 period, or are there gonna be a 1000 or as many as will sell in 2012 or ?

I am thinking of buying a few more and rescaling them in CF or maybe something else both for me and to resell (once I pay for or hopefully get a GOLD membership if 500 sell :)), while of course including the original scales in the sale. If the scales were cool (say blue and black CF, I already know one person would be down for orange CF, etc.), would that make these MORE valuable, i.e. would YOU buy one for more, the same, or did I just screw up the value when I took it out of the box, removed the factory scales, and modded it?

Thanks for the update Spark, NOV< yay! I hope things are going good in your life!

I would say as with any limited edition production piece.You would indeed screw up the value by modding it.

Also,Way to scale down your posts.:thumbup:
 
Oh man some people just have no patience! I placed my order back in April and am not worried in the slightest. It will come when the time comes!

@mcraft
Getting extra scales for a knife increases its value usually as long as you include original scales!

lol....Actually, and unusually for me, I used the word "inferred" correctly this time. In my comment where it was used, I was objecting to Ibizian's prediction that we members may begin to think (infer) that we are being swindled as a result of what he perceived to be a lack of timely updates by Spark.

Truth be told, it's not Spark's update frequency that concerns me. It's his being the nastiest of pirates that has me worried. :D
 
Funny story- ever pre-order a Spyderco Sprint Run? This is nothing. Imagine those poor souls who ordered that new Green PM 2 being told its like 1-2 years possibly on back order.
 
I have been out of work since March, I had plans to order a few of these, but money just wasn't available. Now I'm back to.work, and am making some money.

I will be placing an order for the one I wanted and probably one more to fill the slot of a certain member that won't be getting one.

Rock on, Sparkles.

Is my knives here yet?

:D

So I've been following this and I was reading. And I was like... Ok, Ok. *scroll, scroll, scroll* Oh, really? Swindled? *scroll, scroll* Ok, refunded, problem solved? *scroll*

And then... Is that, a big red button?

O SHI~ It logs you out?!

So, good stuff! Thanks for the update and keeping me on my toes :thumbup:

I wouldn't pay more for a knife that's been taken apart then reassembled,regardless of the extras,but maybe that's just me.:)
 
Sweet november thats soon. I'm going to give everyone else a chance to buy them, but if there are any left over I would be getting a second.

Anybody ever hear of HDS flashlights, Ive been waiting for a rotary for over a year, I have lost count. I don't care, eventually I will get something awesome.

Thanks guys, you helped me figure it out. For some yes, for some no, so the safe move would be to buy a few more (depending on if Spark is able to sort through how many are left and post the number, perhaps buy the rest, but I cannot afford *that* many, $90 a pop adds up fast :D), post in the exchange forum custom versions available, but don't pre-make them, just give the options and the costs and make them by request. Worse case I will have a few extra of these, not the worst place to be, then I would probably EDC one!
 
Spark said:
Just got off the phone with Thomas, he's expecting the G10 for these to come in today and expecting to deliver by the first week of November.

Since Ibizian feels swindled by this, I've cancelled his order and refunded his money.

For the rest, thank you for your patience and support.

sounds great! to hold me over I decided to change my skyline into a ffg... well a zero grind tbh... i can't wait!

Don't take this the wrong way if you are a knife maker and know what you are doing just ignore me, otherwise be careful with doing that to your Skyline, or any blade. When researching different grinds and what not, I found this: Zero grind are darned hard to grind without ruining the temper in the edge. Just as bad, you can easily over grind the edge just a little and foul it up that way. Not many makers put in the necessary effort to develop the skill to do that grind . If you do grind one successfully, then you are working with a scary sharp blade while you complete the knife (never a good idea).

November isn't that far away, will be here in a blink, and flipping one of my normal Skylines or other flippers (or opening and closing one of my OTFs) helps without having to do any work making anything :)
 
im not a knifemaker in the least (more like future as I am just getting into it) but iv messed with my skyline a ton and thought i might as well try to do a zero grind on it. so far it looks great I was making sure it wasn't heating up at all.
