Spyderco Kiwi Advice?

Prof. Ed · Feb 23, 2003

Hi all,
Does anyone own the Spyderco Kiwi? I find it to be aesthetically pleasing to look at. A bit expensive for a small Spyderco. Does anyone know of a place that has GREAT prices? My wife will use it on me if I purchase another knife that is fairly expensive. Thus, a good cheap dealer is needed! LOL You suggestions are welcome.Looking forward to hearing from you.
Best regards,
Prof. Ed

unfortunately, that doesn't change the fact that the Kiwi is still an expensive knife... $87.45

They are nice though, for the gentleman/office/sunday carry.

Try looking at this site. They seem to have pretty good prices.

Something to keep in mind: it does not have a pocket clip, so it will be floating in your pocket.

Great pic, Serge. Do you own the knife? Like it a whole lot?

Yes, I have one and I like it a lot. Its very classy looking piece and it handles like at least 1,5 times bigger knife firmly and securely.

Rumor has it from a thread posted on Spyderco's forum that the Kiwi will be released in less expensive form as an FRN model as well, soon.

Better yet, they have a proto completed on a larger version of the Kiwi, called the Kopa. No word on size, but the poster (Jurphass) says the handle was a combination of micarta and cocobolo.

The Kiwi has replaced all other knives that I carry on a daily basis at work. It is not only sheeple friendly but it handles all types of daily chores around the office that it is called upon to do. It is so well made and it is a very attractive knife in a world of black on black knives. About the only thing that it isn't good for is spreading peanut butter.
