Well AFAIK manly ships internationally and at least to Germany the shipping isn't too bad... I think they also offer free international shipping when passing a certain amount. So who knows, just check their website [emoji14]Seriously! I was just trying to figure out how to get a Patriot over here! I still want to pick up an Orange Comrade too.

I hope it's alright to revive this thread, since it's been the most popular one. I would like to gift a slipjoint to someone and I know for a fact that he really likes this model. However, he has arthritis. And I have seen videos of how sturdy the spring is. Which impressed me, but it also made me question whether this would be the right knife for him. If I remember correctly, there's five stop points before the blade is fully opened and I'd like to know if the spring breaks in a little after a while or if it will always be as tough (as it seems on video!) to open.
T.L.E. never fix what is not hopelessly broken already! But honestly, you might be onto something.
Thank you for sharing your experience. Well, had I not seen a review video of this model, I would have never known of the sturdy spring, so this might really not be the model for him. Maybe I'll get one for myself one day.
you first don't get a solid grip on the blade until it reaches that first stop, they you can reposition your fingers for a better grip to open it the rest of the way a bit easier/safer.
