Anyone know if Cutlery Shoppe is filling all pre-orders right now?

I was told a couple days ago that they were waiting on more from spyderco and that their rep could not tell them how long it might be til they received them, could be a day, could be six weeks.

I wish it had a steel insert.....other than that nice design...

Wasn't interested in the Southard Flipper before, but all these pix and videos really show it off nicely. It looks really complementary to the 561.

Nice job, guys. :thumbup:

Dang!!!! I would buy this in a heartbeat if it allowed for lefty tip up carry!!!!????

first thing I'm going to do is replace the clip with a titanium lowrider, then grind off that bump in the middle of the blade spine.

Got an Email from CS that mine shipped out November 22. I think they are filling orders as stocks are coming in. I might be on top of the pre-order list as I saw the pre-order while I was browsing their site and when I saw that pop up, I quickly placed my order.

 

[swimmerdude1127]

Awesome... very eager to get my hands on the one I pre-ordered

Thanks for sharing your pictures, video and impressions. I am really fond of the clip on this knife, and the knife in general. Gotta love the Cutlery Shoppe.

It is actually smaller than I would have thought. That's a good thing since I'm already looking to sell my larger knives.

Just received my Southard, and what a knife! Love the action, full stone-washing, coarse peel ply g10, and great fit/finish.
One little thing was bugging me that usually I could care less about, so I made a small modification :

Am I missing something?

Compare my pic to that of jackthedog's where his is clipped to his jeans pocket.

Nice, I like it! That was actually bugging me as well. I might do the same.

Still waiting for mine though. These pics and videos are killing me!

I feel that your modification improves the aesthetics of the knife. Well done!

Nice! Ha sorry. Did you dremel or? I don't know why Brad didn't do that.

 

[brightb]

Yep good old dremel cut-off wheel and a little sand paper. I also did the other end as I've had pointy ones like that punch holes in my jacket liners this time of year. Despite feeling the need to modify, I still prefer the look of this clip over a wire clip on this model.

[Aidansdaddy17]

It seems to fit. And your mod balances it out. I like the wire clip a lot. Bug this needed its own look. Separates from the rest

 

[jackthedog]

I like that look. Probably wouldn't have noticed without seeing the picture but it seems more balanced now.

Looks great! Nice work.
