I wish I was, but a bit too much change for now. A few months ago Barongs were going as low as $85 on the bay and I thought I'd see what they were going for now and lowest is about $150 on average. Then I saw THAT BEAUT!

I completely agree!
 
There's some 85 dollar Barongs back on the bay at present. The same place had put them back up for that, after taking them off awhile. They also raised their prices a bit on the other recently discontinued models, they had been selling cheaply.
So, all this stuff will be going up in the next few months I'd bet on that.
I'm done buying the Spydercos that were cut for now. I bet I have 2000 dollars worth and that's at the fantastic prices that were offered lately.
Edited to add, just checked the 85 dollar Barongs that were there a few days ago are gone now!
 
ugh, rub it in why dont you. That is freaking style right there. Im trying to trade my way into one right now.

You do know if you trade for a Barong you are going to get one with green G-10 handles and not the custom carbon fiber shown don't you?:D

That is indeed a nice barog but it is also a live auction so I would remove the link before you get dinged for deal spotting.

That is beautiful!
 
There is a guy on Spyderco's forum (via their website) that just had a Barong converted to carbon fiber scales. He posted some photos of it, and he noted that it was done by the same dude in Spain that is in the e-bay ad.

Unquestionably a beautiful project. I wonder what the price of the conversion is?
 
Nice! Interestingly, I didn't even know about the Barong till this past weekend, when I watched a review on it...

Forgive my ignorance, but what exactly is carbon fiber? It is gorgeous.

Carbon Fiber is exactly what it states, they are woven fibers made from crabon [type of metal] and is then epoxy [glue] filled to make the fibers hard. So it is extremely durable and has an awesome look to it!

that's a dumbed down way of putting it. ;)
