Anywhere to still get a fixed blade Skyline?

Is there anywhere I'd still be able to order a fixed blade Skyline? I haven't been able to find one anywhere, whatever handle color is fine.

If anyone knows it would really be great
Thanks everyone.
 
I checked on the Cabelas website and they weren't listed, and there isn't a Cabelas that's even remotely close to me. Tampa, FL
 
I work right across the street from a Cabelas and I went there today during lunch. Didn't see any on the display racks, and haven't seen them in quite some time. I did manage to snag the orange fixed and black fixed a while back though...
 
So I ended up getting a S30V Blur; I'd been interested in the Blur line, and the "best" steal I've had up to this point is just 14C28N in my VIB (rainbow) Leek so I'm really interested to see what S30V is like...And there should also be a black fixed Skyline in there. If I'm into the Skyline, I'll be grabbing a 1082 (will still get it even if I'm not too into the skyline, I can't stop looking at the 1082) and possibly a 1085(more likely) or maybe try 1028.

HOWEVER, I do have to apologize to Mr. Scurvy092 for stealing the two knives from him. ;)

They're going to a good home, and that Blur will keep up its legacy of introducing people to "good knives." I'm not sure if I'm more anxious about the fixed skyline or trying out S30V...it's a nice problem to have haha.
 
Scurvy is great to deal with.

Somewhat ironic side note, if anyone wanted a 1084OR, Kershaw guy has them listed on his site now...but I got a black one :)

Definitely get a fixed Skyline if you get a chance. It is a great size to carry and use, however, the leather sheath it comes with is adequate but leaves a bit to be desired.

Tampa ain't the best place to get knives. The gun stores in the area that carry knives usually mark them at or above MSRP most of the time. You might find some gems here and there. Now the gun show at the fair grounds always has some good booths.

I'm really liking the Skyline, and thinking of ordering one (or two) of the orange ones just to put away. Going to start looking into a Kydex sheath for it.

[The marks on the Skyline blade are from me cutting up the priority box it came in, it was new when it got here from Scurvy]
 
For the price he's blowing them out for, even if you don't think you want one, it would be hard not to throw one onto an order.

I'd give the Skyline 1084 an 8.5/10. I wish the handle was 1/2" longer, I have relatively large hands and while there's nothing wrong with the current handle, a touch more wouldn't hurt. A little jimping would be nice, but for what type of knife it is it's not the end of the world. The sheath to me is a throw away, just something to use until I get a Kydex one. (Is the sheath on bladeHQ decent, or another prefab option? I'd rather not have to get a custom if I don't have to.)

This is my first Blur as well; I see why people love them so much. I've been carrying a Cryo for awhile, will sub in the Blur and see how it does. I'm also really interested to see what S30V is like (this is my first knife with "premium" steel).
 
It is a great knife. I had an orange one but ended up trading it away. I didn't plan on it just had to add a knife to the deal to make it even. I've already got a few fixed blades that fill that niche for me anyways so it had to go. Plus I've got my Skyline fix in folders.

Nice to see a fellow Tampa resident on here dwburke!
 
I sold mine to Lou Lasher on the forum I don't think he wants it give him a buzz or pm and I will ask him.

Edit I just emailed him and will get back to you. It's been sharpened on a wicked edge too.
