Kiwi spoteed on ebay

I would have agreed with you until I handled one. It really is a very slender, sculpted design. There really isn't any way to add a clip without destroying it. OTOH, a nice leather sheath would make up for the lack of a clip. Maybe something like what the Solos used to come with.
 
Get a Chris Reeve Knives leather slip-sheath, sized for either the Umfaan or Mnandi. I have one of each size of these, and they are hands-down the nicest production slip sheath going. A bargain at $10.
 
Got mine a few days ago. This will very rapidly become my EDC. Strong, sturdy, but still elegant and very non-knife person friendly. Since I work in a hospital, some of the larger knives are viewed as threatening. The slender design is just the right mix. Thanks again, Spyderco

I hate to appear stupid, but is the Kiwi a new or an old (discontinued) Spyderco knife? By looking at the photo at eBay, I now know that I NEED to have a Kiwi, as it is one BEAUTIFUL production folder!

...And if it was discontinued...WHY???
 
It's a new model. It will probably take a while before they are widely available.

Though $236 is more than I'd pay for one, which is what the auction ended at.
 
I hope that there spotted kiwi don't cause as much trouble for our friends downunder as that durn spotted owl did for us up here. ;)

(they taste just like spotted chickens)
 
Nice pictures- a clip would ruin it, however I wouldn't want to carry it in the bottom of my pocket with keys and other junk!
maybe Spyderco (or some one aftermarket) can make leather slip sheathes with pocket clips attached, like for the William Henrys?

I saw somewhere that most dealers would sell them for about 120.00.
