    Actually, after getting this CF proto I realized that I still need to get a real production CF later in the year ... this one is too good for heavy use I won't be getting a Ti ... not my kind of thing

    Re: bored of waiting now! ukpk lite

    sal's marketing is a double edge sword imo he drops hints etc about these knives gets people excited but with delays etc I'm sure has frustrated many customers. but at the same time it cause a stir and gets people reved up for his future products personaly I think I would prefer it being kept under raps until release. I'm spyderco-less atm I've flipped them all and I'm holding off for the lightweight and cf-ukpk. I hope they arrive soon before I random splerge on another spyderco just to fill avoid left by the ones I've sold.

    I hope I've made sense tonight I've had a few beers

    Yeah, a bit of hype before the event can help boost pre-release orders and gets everyone talking ... but if you leave it too long then people get tired or waiting and cancel. But in this case Sal has been very good in keeping us informed of why there have been delays and I'm sure they would have liked to have them in our hands a month ago, if it had been possible

    Hi all,

    Sorry about the delays. It surely has been frustrating on my end to be sure.

    Spankone,

    I will consider your suggestion about keeping new models under wraps until production is ready. We do that with some models. That might work better.

    what you do works sal I wouldn't worry about it... its just the ukpk light weight is an extreme situation and I'm just moody like a 5 year old that wants new toys
