History, mentionings from the forums etc.

Interesting story here. These knives were made by Spyderco, exclusively for a Japanese chain named Mont-Bell, which happens to have stores in the USA as well. They were not suppose to be sold in the US, but apparently Mont-Bell made a mistake and some were sent here, and sold."

In 2006, someone mentioned it on this Forum.

Spyderco put a stop to the selling of it.
