Well it looks like it's going to fail....unless there will be another extension. I really hope massdrop does not give up on exclusives for knives. its really awesome that they can do this. So despite this one not working out I hope massdrop doesn't get discouraged. The knife really was awesome. I just think price was just a little more than wools were expecting/hoping for. Couple that with the fact that the holidays are here and people budgets may not be as large as they typically could be. So the price becomes even more important. I also hope massdrop can do another venture with spyderco...just maybe not on a knife that is sort of a budget knife.
HackenslashI would have to agree with @PNWNative I didn't get the sense that anyone didn't really like the knife. There were maybe just a couple people who didn't love the etching, but hey, you can't please everyone. I think the whole problem with the drop was the price that spyderco thought they could get.
