What is this "Kershaw Mafia" that keeps being mentioned? There's no such thing. It doesn't exist. Besides, this would be a Kershaw sub-forum knife anyway with 500 or more knives.

Nah, I think the Mafia thing got nixed several pages back. With there being 500 knives, it doesn't seem quite appropriate to apply the entire run to such a small group. Although if they personalized a few of them for that small handful, that'd be pretty rad.

Well I'm down for at least 1 in 2 weeks, and a second 2 weeks later if they haven't all sold out... I'd still prefer Elmax or M390 but S30V isn't that bad... :cool:
 
Isn't that what I said? ;)

Edited to add: Not sure what everyone's page layout is, but I'm just trying to keep this on each page since a lot of people (understandably) don't want to read every page to find the details:

"Just to recap, the latest details, as far as I can gather:

* blue G10 handles (shade has not been disclosed yet)
* S30V, stonewashed, full flat ground blade
* standard clip
* standard liner lock
* tentative price: $90
* international shipping should be available, obviously at a higher cost
* 500 pieces
* full payment preorder appears the way it's gonna go
* potential bonuses for preorders once 250 and 500 piece goals are reached.

Any blade stamps or etchings (numbering, logos, etc.) have not been officially announced thus far. And I'm guessing the above specs are pretty well dialed-in, so at this point, I wouldn't hold my breath for puce G10, carbon fiber, damascus, elmax, tanto blade, assisted opening, frame lock, seatbelt cutter, brass bolsters, glass breaker, round opening hole, tortoise shell inlays or whatever-the-heck-else."

I think what's stated above is perfect. Now, being a citizen of Canada, I have some concerns about shipping. That being said I can accept the responsability that once it crosses the border, either it's lost or it's up to me to find it. That's fine. What I won't stand is UPS ground shipping that charges outrageous prices to its recepients.

When I looked up spark's ZIP code to ship to my location, price was $5.75 for 1-6 days or thereabouts. I'm fine with that price and all it entails.
First-Class Mail® International Parcel, is what I selected, and put the contents at 1lb as per spark's instructions.

I just don't really think it costs all that much to ship to Canada (at least my location) as some think it may cost. I'm willing to accept potential losses and wait a few extra days for it to get across the border. I'd rather that than pay an extra $30 for no reason.

Even if Spark isin't willing to ship to you, im sure someone here will be willing to help you out. Canada is pretty much like shipping to the US. Overseas/anything further south isin't as easy
 
Yess! I am loving this! I get to buy a sweet knife that I would have loved to buy anyways, & get a free gold membership to boot? I will be glad to preorder whenever it's ready, Spark! Thanks, this is awesome!
 
Not sure if this is effectively the preorder thread or if that is yet to come, but I'm in for one.

Yeah i'm not worried too much about that. Seems like they're willing to ship for extra cost. I just hope it isn't too much, from what I can see and past experiences tell me it shouldn't be all that much more. I'll see when the time comes but I'm fairly certain it'll all work out. Pretty sure it aint spark the one shipping these puppies out, from what I understand it's kershawguy via his business. I know he doesn't normally deal with cross-border but seems like this is an exception.

I'm also pretty sure this isn't a preorder thread... it'll be via email or some website order form somewhere (maybe on kershawguy's website). Just Spark said it was happening in a day or two and we're into day two and a half now. Pardon my anxiousness :P

Actually, I think it is Spark that's gonna be selling them (possibly through 1SKS?).

oh my bad, thought it was kershawguy for some reason. I just thought Spark was working with someone else that was going through Kershaw, maybe not. Eitherway. Cool. Whoever is doing this is great in my books, taking on something like that. Wish I had the capital and business acumen to attempt it!

Thomas at Kershaw and Spark work out the mojo and get the deal going. When the knives are sold, they each buy a 2013 Escalade with the sweet profit. And we each get one or more smokin' hot, blue FFG S30V Skylines to impress the chicks. Its the circle of life.
 
Spark!!! Where are you?!?


Man.. I've never been so anxious to give anyone my money, so much in my whole life lol.
 
Stumbled upon this thread and and instead of trying to wade through over ten pages of posts I was wondering if we can pre-order now or is this just in the planning phase? How do I get my name on the order list? Will there be a new thread for taking pre-orders?

Sorry if this was made plain somewhere and I missed it.

Thanks!

Couldn't figure out how to calculate shipping to Ontario Canada after a quick attempt but I'm still in anyways. Currently on vacation in the Caribbean so was just checking in for updates.

These details have not been discussed yet. We're all just hanging around outside, at this point. Join us, won't you?
 
Heh, I won't be buying an Escalade with this (not anywhere near enough profit for that), but it'll help a good deal with server costs.

Anyhow, I'll be posting a new preorder thread with a paypal link in the next future. If you don't want to do paypal, that's cool, I'll figure something out.
