If you can read Japanese or whatever language that is, go for it. My assumption though is that the red symbols below the descriptions say &quot;Out of Stock&quot; <img src="tongue.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>





The word at the bottom on the right means next page <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle> <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>I figured that much out !



They have yellow Delicas, yellow Rescues, a titanium Delica, titanium full sized Police, OMG the list goes on O_O

CF Crickets, aluminum Civilians, Renegades, etc... Who reads Japanese? Are these current production in Japan? I found the &quot;info@...&quot; and sent off an e-mail asking about an English site/catalog. Pachucks???

[chinook]

The white Rescue looks pretty good. Let me know if your inquiry bears fruit.

Disguised as a responsible adult.

I am very curious, especially about this knife, which they say is the executive

[mschwoeb]

and the workers under it. And this one caught my attention. and look at this cricket!

Yeah KK,
I had seen that site a while ago and drooled. Wouldn't mind having a yellow handled anything. I think perhaps Vince at Blade Art may have a connection in that country. He recently offered the plain edge Lady Bugs in odd colors. I got one in Olive Drab (bottom blade in image) from him. Sharp little &quot;bugger&quot;. Lil' Bugger-get it? See ya

[kraziekurtis]

My local dealer had a Yellow Ladybug, but I got the black one instead :-/ Shucks

I can't read Japanese but I know that the pricing is Yen, and I went to a currency converter on the net. For those Tuffram Civilians, the 14,400 Yen price converts to around 107 US Dollars...good price for a nice hard to find Civilian eh?


OMG *faints*

Time for the bad news:

I was in such a state of excitemnt when I first saw these and then just now while looking through again, I realized some had clicky buttons that seemed to be buttons for ordering, some didn't. The more exotics like the Tufram Civilian didn't have one <img src="sad.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle> :'(

I would agree with you Krazie. Even with international shipping costs and the &quot;wait&quot; factor (the worst part) I would have come out better than what I just paid for mine, and its not even new. Condition was listed as excellent, I guess we'll see pretty soon. Anyway, I think we should keep this post near the top of the pile until someone &quot;in the know&quot; answers our questions. Later--Pachucks

[revolvergeek]

I think that what they are calling the Executive was sold over here maybe 6 or 7 years ago as the Spur... I had a Spur but got a fit of the stupids and sold it off to a guy that I worked with.

The one that caught my eye looked like a Pro-grip handle with a Delica blade. VERY nifty!

{insert fifteen shocked,jaw dropping smileys here}

The SpydeRench on this page: http://www.hamonoichiba.com/cgi-local/index.pl?goUrl=/products/g_sakai/spyderco/sp_2001_14.html

Has a Yen price of 5,400 ... you know what that converts to in US Dollars? 40 US Dollars is what.. O_O

But on the next page, they have them going for 15,300 Yen ...maybe a mini SpydeRench or just a screw up on my part <img src="tongue.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle> <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

There was a forumite - IanMUndertall, I think, who was residing in Japan but I haven't seen any posts here for a few months from him.

Jeff

[J Smith]

WOW!!! I just checked it out.Ti coated delicas and enduras withFRN clips.I sent them an email asking how we could order hopeing someone speaks hillbilly over there.

Jeff

[chris2995]

A pink Ladybug....Thats what my girlfriend wants. Someone please help us.

[J Smith]

They replyed to my email.I will post an image of it tonight to cut down on the typing.They do take orders and the email gives instructions.

Jeff

[kraziekurtis]

Whoa! Cool!

Too bad that Tufram Civilian doesn't have an order button, nor does that Terzuola Jr. <img src="sad.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

Oh well, they have plenty of other excellent knives <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

[Brian]

Too cool Jeff!<img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle><img src="tongue.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

&quot;Happiness is, confusing everyone you know.&quot;

[SpyderNut]

Way to go, Jeff!

If you find out how to order, could you maybe post the 'secret' on how to do it?
Thanks!

K/K, I just downloaded that website. It took 23 minutes all told! Those Tuff Frame Civ's were beautiful, BTW. I also was starting to drool over the picture of the Terzoula Jr. models. SWEET! Ahh, it was an act of cruelness to have those pictures and not have a &quot;Buy&quot; button by it. <img src="sad.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

If anyone has any luck, please pass the word! <img src="tongue.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

[kraziekurtis]

I can't do ordering for quite some time, even if we get instructions <img src="tongue.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

Up next I am getting a Starmate and G10 Harpy ordered for a total of around 170-185 dollars.

Then after that I am gonna order a CF Civilian-SE for around 145 dollars.

And the extremely bad news is that everyone I called looking for a job doesn't hire until at least 16 <img src="sad.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

I am gonna call Dairy Queen to see when they hire now...

*crosses fingers*

EDIT:Just called, and the person I speaked with didn't know and said I should call back tomorrow.

[J Smith]

If anyone puts an order in with them and wants to get me a Ti coated Endura I would trade a Q or a pink Criket for it.

Jeff

[kraziekurtis]

If I ever order from there I will remember you <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle> (and your Q) <img src="tongue.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

Visiting this site was like visiting an alternate universe?!?! Some neat variations on knives. Many Goddards to choose from and a very different version of one of my favorites...the Dragonfly.

[glasshartt]

Jeff,

Please Email me about your pink cricket. I tried to email you but it was returned as undeliverable.

Linda
