All knives are legal to own in Australia but they cannot be imported because of new customs regulations
Spyderco chokwe BNIB never used/carried/fondled price is $240 express posted
Specs:
length overall 8.5 " (216 mm)
blade length 3.75 " (95 mm)
blade steel CPM S30V
length closed 4.75 " (121 mm)
cutting edge 3.375 " (86 mm)
weight 3.7 oz. (104 g)
blade thickness .125 " (3 mm)
handle material G-10 / Titanium
Description:
Knives as essential tools exist in every culture on earth. Their shape and style are dictated by their people's needs, be those agricultural, spiritual or self preserving. Certainly ethnic styles of cutlery have been lost to history but many designs are still used today and revered in their countries. Taking those individual designs and adding a Spyderco touch is the core of Spyderco's Ethnic Series folders and most recently the C132 Spyderco Chokwe.
Chokwe people live in the Zambia/Democratic Republic of Congo region of Central Africa. Primarily agricultural, they are gatherers, fishermen and hunters. Highly positioned in Chokwe society are their blacksmiths who craft fixed-blade knives for daily use in feeding, harvesting and protecting their communities. Our Chokwe folder is patterned off a historic fixed-blade, keeping true to the triangular shaped blade and coffin-shaped handle. The blade is CPM S30V blade steel and flat-ground for cutting performance. The handle is black G-10 with bored out handle holes reducing overall weight and making through holes for attachment to a longer handle or pole. Full length internal liner reinforces the locking device, a Chris Reeve style integral lock. Metal hourglass clip carries the knife tucked in a pocket tip-down right hand carry.
Nothing on the modern market is like it. It may look modern and streamlined but the original design is hundreds if not thousands of years old. Necessity generates function and in the knife world that can happen in central Africa a few hundred years ago. It can also happen in Golden, Colorado in 2009.
Spyderco will donate approximately 5% of sales of the Chokwe to the Keep a Child Alive Organization. Keep a Child Alive is dedicated to providing life-saving anti-retroviral treatment, care and support services to children and their families with HIV/AIDS in Africa and the developing world by directly engaging the global public in the fight against AIDS.

Spyderco Chinese Folder with G-10 Handle by Bob Lum
Custom Knifemaker Bob Lum has done something no other knifemaker has done. He created a genesis fusing the ancient essence and design of a traditional Chinese fixed blade with features found in modern folding knives. This results in a knife with great historical beauty and modern cutting performance and manufacturing impeccability.
The large Chinese folder has a flat-ground VG-10 blade with a spine swedge and a PlainEdge cutting conformation. The black peel-ply G-10 handle incorporates a Walker LinerLock® and screw together construction for adjustment and cleaning. Phosphor bronze washers circling the blade's pivot, ensure smooth open/close action. A four-way tip-up/tip-down, left/right hand pocket clip settles the folder deeply in a pocket where it rides ready for use with great style. Bob Lum's Chinese Folder takes ancient knifemaking tradition to a higher level in sophistication and ergonomic usability.
Custom knifemaker Bob Lum passed away in 2008 and Spyderco is honored to continue producing his knife designs with the blessing of his widow Jean Lum.
Spyderco UKPK orange g-10 CPMS30V. No box has been carried and fondled, never used. $200 express posted
Specs:
length overall 6 15/16" (175mm)
blade length 2 15/16" (74mm)
blade steel CPM-S30V
length closed 4 1/16" (103mm)
cutting edge 2 5/8" (67mm)
weight 2.4oz (69g)
hole diameter 1/2" (13mm)
blade thickness 1/8" (3mm)
handle material G-10
Description:
The knife may be man's oldest tool but today it is governed by different carry restrictions in nearly every country in the world. It seems: "if man makes it, he must legislate it". This is particularly true regarding pocket knives in the United Kingdom where legal guidelines govern the size and function of all pocketknives carried in public. One of these parameters is that folding knives not have blades that lock open. Spyderco addressed this by developing a non-locking folder expressly for the UK called the UK Penknife.
The blade on the UK Penknife is held open by a notched-joint at the knife's pivot. When closing the blade the notch produces roughly twenty-pounds of resistance, functionally similar to traditional slip-joint penknives. To achieve a heightened sense of control and comfort, Spyderco designers added a deep finger choil positioning the index finger on the bottom of the blade directly under the thumb. This lets you choke up nearer the cutting edge with comfort and dexterity. The handle is safety orange G-10 with a tension-wire clip that carries deeply in the pocket, tip-up and either left or right-handed. The CPMS30V laser cut blade is available PlainEdged and ground flat on both sides.
Made in Golden, Colorado U.S.A.
Please note, the "bronze" color that you see on the clip is intentional. The clips are actually heat treated (they are stronger and will perform better because of this). The heat treated wire clip is also more discreet in your pocket.
I will consider all reasonable offers
