Okay, these knives are on my have to have list.

Does anyone know when these knives are actually going to be here?

Thanks, Jordan
 
Spyderco responded to my question on their facebook page (when would the Techno be released) and they said "Very soon", so I keep checking online retail stores. I would guess the Tuff will show up around the same time, but I'm not sure if the Szabo is going to be out so soon.
 
"Very soon" usually means sometime between "we better check the shipping, the dealers should have them by now" and "before the end of the world". Experience has taught them that if they give a target date and anything happens to make them miss it by five seconds, people will consider it a personal insult and denounce everyone at Spyderco as filthy, rotten liars.

Ezbake, do you interpret "very soon" as being this month?

I don't, but I'm hopeful :)

I think they were originally supposed to ship either this month or last, but I'm not too worried. I waited for a long time on the 0561, I can wait a long time on this Techno.
 
I didnt think the Tuff would be out until the end of the year, Szabo, probably the same or later.
 
Yes it is. I just ordered one from them. Just so you know its a collectors numbered model and not the standard production version.
 
I'm looking forward to the Techno & Szabo very much. I had been looking forward to the Tuff for nearly 3 years! Then they went & gave it the stupidest, cheapo-looking, crap-ass handle scale redesign in the history of knives! Aaaargggghhhh! Thos horrible golf-ball handles ruined what possibly would have been one of my favorite knives of all time. For such a great company, Spyderco really screwed the pooch on this one. I'm still bitter, can you tell? :thumbdn::(:grumpy::mad::mad::thumbdn:

Thanks for the info. I take it the collectors numbers model is more expensive than the standard production version? I'm uncertain because another site with the Tuff for preorder lists the standard version for just $4 less. I imagined a collectors edition to be considerably more expensive.

If I'm remembering correctly Howes is selling the collectors version for either $10 or $20 more than they had the standard version for.

If that's the case, it's Howe's choice to do that. Aside from the number, there's no difference between a Collectors Club numbered knife and any other knife in the first production run and Spyderco does not charge extra for numbering them.
 
I'm ready to wave those Szabos... I'm not hard to find.
