WOW! Now those are some awesome pieces!<img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

Next time you'll have to warn me, Joyce, before you post these pics.<img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> 'Cause I almost wet my drawers when I saw these awesome photo's!!

You can put my name down for one of each of these too.<img src="tongue.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

Joyce,

Aye, lass! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Beauties all!!

Not having the control of the more Forum savvy &lt;img src=&quot;spyder.gif&quot; width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0&gt;nut, the rookie Java now procedes to the bedroom for a fresh set of briefs.


Stay safe! Stay sharp! Stay dry! &lt;img src=&quot;spyder.gif&quot; width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0&gt;



Having viewed the other prototypical posted pix, Java returns, virtually satisfied, but after having embarrassed himself, will lurk with but one parting post ‘til tonight……

Thank you Joyce!
All these pix were well worth the wait and equal to the words in the August Blade. The rustle of nervous credit cards and happily ticking calculators I hear in the background portend well for this gracious offering. ‘Twill be a harrowing wait now from virtual space to the reality of new cold steel. We <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>kindred are not known for Job’s patience and this taste of delights to come has certainly piqued the interest of us <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>men and women. Be prepared for a flurry of postings in days to come and be sure to hire more staff for the <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>holic Rehabilitation Center to cope with the calls. Thanks again.

S4! <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

*changing keyboards*

I never knew they could take that much drool before they gave out!

I'll be getting a 25th Anniversary Delica, despite the fact it'll be $345+taxes+import(unless Linda can make a nice offer)...

Joyce,
Thanks for the photos I think you forgot some though! <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

That damascus has Spydies in it! How on earth can they do that, WOW!
That Ronin isn’t to bad looking! I may get one of those.

[dialex]

Many thanks, Joyce, these are nice pics of nice products. Am I too greedy if I ask to keep them coming?

[Joyce Laituri]

Hey Guys,

Our server only supports two images per post- there are a total of seven new products, posted in 4 posts (and a couple misfires where the pics wouldn't post for some odd reason) soo...to see all the images you gotta work a little bit and open the threads titled &quot;New Product Pics&quot; or &quot;Subject-Pics New Products&quot; They're there, just kinda messy.

[spidernoiree]

Joyce,

Drooling as I type.
Will the 25th anniversary edition Delica be offered only as a collectors piece or will we see a standard production version as well?

Jeff <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

[Carlos]

It is a limited edition, I think of 500 units.

[sam the man..]

Oh Man! I am lost for words! The anniversary knife is BEAUTIFUL!! W<img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>W! Yeah! Yummy! Thanks for sharing the pix Joyce! <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0><img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0><img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

have bone implant will travel..

[rico]

All the new knives look cool. I wonder if the 25th Ann delica will have a clip. rr

[scolby]

Previous posts indicated that the 25th Anni Delica would be clipless.

[m40]

Won't the Ronin fixed blade a little bit too expensive? I know some good custom knife makers are offering such size fixed blades for about the same price.

[Sword and Shield]

Are the grips on the Anniversary Deli and Kiwi bone, or am I hallucinating?

Keepin' it real...real sharp, that is.

[Carlos]

Jigged bone.

[sal]

Hi Rico, The Anniv. model is clipless. The bolsters were made by Ed Schempp, himself, so we're fortunate that he was able to &quot;squeeze&quot; in the mfg of 500 pair of tiles for the project. Thanx much Ed.

The sheath shown for the Ronin is a earlier piece that Mike Sastre made for us (saved our butts for a show in Germany). The actual production sheath will be the Janich/Snody sheath designed for the Ronin.

Hi M40. Perhaps the cost of the Spyderco Ronin may seem expensive to you. It is certainly less expensive than the Snody version and he is behind on his orders by more than a year. Not to appear to be boasting, but I would be pleased to compare our Ronin with any custom knife made by any custom maker in the same price range. It is just my opinion, but I believe that in steel selection and execution, design execution, performance and reliability, Spyderco's Ronin will be a fine piece, demonstrating the thought and experience that Mike Janich and Mike Snody designed into the Ronin.

[LIZARD]

I love the Ronin! Gotta have one!

[SpyderNut]

Java,

LOL! I think I went through 6 pairs of skivie's before I got wise enough to stop drinking chocolate milk while browsing through those new Spydies.<img src="tongue.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

You'd think I'd learn after a while....<img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

[sam the man..]

mmmm.. the Anniversary Delica is too sweet to pass.. Have to work hard on this one! <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

Sam

have bone implant will travel..

[Shiden]

Hi,

That Ronin looks really nice, but I don't like the handle of that Delica.

[Joyce Laituri]

Hi All,

Me and my nimble typing fingers made a big typo....MSRP on the C76 Anniversary Knife is actually $529.95. Sorry if my mistake caused anyone any inconvenience.

Joyce

[scolby]

Joyce!!!!

I'd say a few jaws are dropping here in Spyder forum land.

Ouch.

[Clay Kesting]

I'm sorry Joyce I don't know if I can ever forgive you for this <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>. There I was thinking that if I sold a few things and picked up all the loose change around the house, I might just be able to afford one. Now it looks as though the only way I'm going to get one is to sell a child or two. Anyone interested in a low mileage kid in reasonable condition? <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

Clay

Life's too short to waste on instant coffee.

[java]

G'day Clay,

Male or female?? Is that kid still under warranty? And just what kind of miles - just driven to church on Sundays or has this one been hot-rodded or driven hard in the outback?

Just kidding? <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> I'm with y'all on the price but fortunately still have two low mileage kids and a dog I can use! As a numbered collector, I'm dutifully putting aside one of my USAF retirement checks for this one. Hace mucho que, &quot;Ouch!&quot;

Stay safe! Stay sharp! (Stayin' broke) <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

[J Smith]

Well the Delica is now way out of my price range.

JEFF

[glasshartt]

Ouch!

[Al]

Hmmm...that's strictly for the super-rich-person collectors, not for us poor commoners. So why don't you come up with a cheapy poor persons version eh?<img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>.

[java]

Al,

Aye, lad! 'Tis a steep price indeed but as a dyed in tha wool and numbered collector - A've got ta do ma duty! I am not one o them super-rich collectors but have put away for this occasion. The mistaken MSRP means a longer diet of Mac-n-Cheese (Would that be Scottish.....the Mac part at least? <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>) and watered down Ketchup for tomato soup. But I'll give it me all fer <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>co! Arrrrr...

Stay safe! Stay sharp! <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

[Al]

Java...please can I borrow $1000 from ye, and...er I'll be yer best pal for years, ok....<img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0><img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

lol...just kidding!

Are you still going to Japan for a holiday?

[seaman]

is the delica already 25 years old?

[Clay Kesting]

No, the Delica was first produced in 1990. However the company was started 25 years ago and the knife is to celebrate that anniversary.

Al,

Aye, laddie! Carlos must truly be on holiday - ye canna buy n sell anathing here! Ock! I canna believe ye jest tried ta buy me friendship, an only fer a few years, lad! Aye, must be tha inflation thing! Ah can remember when a grand could buy at least a decade's warth of amicable association! <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

Aye! Japan is still on the burner but ahm waitin for Java the Younger ta graduate from High School. We both be takin' up the study of all things Nihon. Java Jr was birthed on the wee island of Okinawa so it's like a Roots thing. Naohiko sends his regards. Have all manner of pinks n' blues inbound fer The Fair Lady Glasshart, Revolvergeek and me.

Best to ya this fine marnin', lad! I'll get around ta answerin' people soon. I owe Dialex, Kaizer, Samo, ATE, and you all e-mails!!

Stay safe! Stay sharp! Stay well me bonny lad!

[Al]

Java ~ It was very good of ye to get Linda some pink Spydies!, I think she didn't have the pink Ladybug model yet but now thanks to you, she'll be 'sorted' <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

[glasshartt]

Al,

Can you translate the &quot;Queen's English&quot; to &quot;Yankee English?&quot; What do you mean by &quot;Sorted?&quot;

Thanks,
Linda

Edited by - glasshartt on 7/4/2002 7:39:31 AM

[Al]

Well Linda ~ in the 'D'ueens English!. I've used the word 'Sorted' to describe that you have improved/added to your collection of Pink Spydies?

It appears in the Penguin English Dictionary: 1.Organised, ready for use. 2. Supplied with illegal drugs!, 3. Emotionally stable or well adjusted.

I think No.1 comes close but No.2...no way did I mean that!!.

God Save The 'D'ueen! <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0><img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

p.s. Do I get a 'gold star' in my school jotter, Teacher? <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0><img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

[Sword and Shield]

Wow. I really like that Delica, but the thing has to be at least $450 out of this poor college student's price range. <img src="sad.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> Up to around $100 I could do in a snap, $200 in a pinch. $500+ is out of my league, by at least three leagues. <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

I'm still waiting for the Saltire Pride, though. <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

Keepin' it real...real sharp, that is.

[Al]

Is there gonnae be a Saltire Flag <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> Pride?.

[glasshartt]

Al,

Thank you for the definition. As far as &quot;D&quot;ueen goes, sometimes my brain goes faster than my fingers and I forget to check spelling. Regarding your definitions and my mental state, #1 possibly, #2, no ilegal ones, but too many legal ones, #3 exactly the opposite. <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

[Al]

LOL!...Linda <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

[Sword and Shield]

Al, if there isn't a Saltire Pride, someone will definitely have to make an aftermarket flag for it! Can't be too hard, little bit of tin, white cross and blue field. <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

Keepin' it real...real sharp, that is.
