Full Flat Ground Slip-It Kiwi

[J85909266]

I've been thinking...and this is the knife I've been thinking about.

I want one, don't care about the handle material, as long as it is Japan or USA made, with good steel and double bolsters.

Spyderco has to make this knife. Anybody agree?

I think a Slip-It Kiwi like that would find an audience, but I would not be part of it. Locking knives are legal here and I have no need or desire to visit the UK, so Slip-Its just seem like a step backward to me. For me, one of the appealing qualities of the Kiwi is the way it combines Spyderco's best features, the Spyderhole opener and the midlock, with the best feature of traditional slip joints, the double bolstered handle.

Full flat grind would be nice, but loss of the lock would be a price I'd not be willing to pay to get it. I'd rather send another one or three of mine out to Tom Krein.

I like the idea...if it were a slip it though..I would like to see a drop in price.

I never liked the looks of the Kiwi until I saw the pic of the one Tom Krein worked on. Now I'm off to find one and see about sending it in. Damnit....

I highly recommend the kiwi, great office knife. Would work well as a slipit as well, has the finger choil section for it.

I have a Micro Dyad in Jigged Bone. I'd like to get a FFG Kiwi to match. Why doesn't someone sell me theirs??
