This is a great tool I have no doubt, I'd love one! But they are produced in such low numbers most will never get one. Maybe that is a good thing, supporting craft producers and all, but it is nevertheless frustrating to read a great review of a product that is nigh on impossible to actually buy!

Mayfly: you may never read of any options at all unless you defecate your mailbox for PM.

I've never heard the process of emptying an email inbox be described as defecating! But anyway, it's done.

I had no problem ordering from the maker. Checked out their eBay listing pressed purchase job done. I may have dropped them a message as well asking about the different sets and which one would suit my purpose best.

I was replied to within 24 hours in English. Can't really complain about that.

Nick Westerman blade. No wonder this run is sold out.

Eh? There is no issue with the ordering process, or Lee's feedback, etc., just stock availability. These things are bloody hard to get hold of. Just missed the latest batch too. But I'll live. I consoled myself with a new spoon. Good for Lee that his products are in demand. I could look abroad, I see alternatives in various places, but I want to buy in UK. I do think that the review should reflect the fact that these scorps are produced in very limited numbers, caveat emptor, that is all.

Does anyone else make a similar tool? I have googled them but nothing currently available. There was an Etsy version, but no reply to my messages.
Any info gratefully received. I may just end up making myself a left handed knife - it'll be cheaper and probably more satisfying, but will lack the cool factor!

The blades are made to Lee's design by Nic Westermann. Nic doesn't make the blade shape for anyone else.

Nics twca cams are very popular, but hard to get hold of.

Rhys may be able to produce you something inspired by the spoon scorp or Dave Budd.

Wayne - thanks for the pointers.
