I'm looking to pick one up. Anybody know who has them in stock or when they'll be in stock? Thanks
 
These have already been out; seems like I got mine at least two maybe three months ago now? Gave the Cat to my Dad. It had some QC issues I wasn't too happy with but he's less nitpicky and is enjoying it.

Just keep looking around, they should be available somewhere. I recall reading that there were a lot of them at the Factory Sale this year, so maybe someone has a second they could sell you.

Try posting in the WTB section of the Exchange forum.
 
Firebat: What sort of QC issues did you have with it? I'm thinking of getting one as well (recently moved to Okinawa, blade length restrictions), and while I haven't always liked the ergo's of Spydercos I've always understood their QC to be first rate.
Of course, like tndiesel said, I need to find someone selling one. :)
 
I have one and it does have one issue. There's slop when closed within the ball detent. As though the ball is too small for the detent.
Apart from that it's a very nice knife.
 
I'm on a couple email lists for "back in stock" notification. Hopefully this batch will be a little more up to snuff.
 
Sorry I can't answer the OP but Corewise, if you can let go of the spyderco cat, the spyderco meerkat has a 2" blade. 1/8" smaller than the cat's. Spyderco's line of ladybugs have 1 15/16" blades.
 
EDCguy: That is a nice looking knive, just bought one. I'll still keep my eye open for a Cat (and maybe a Chicago for the wife), but the Meerkat will be nice. Thanks much for the info.
