Looks a killer deal.
Never used one - how comfy are they?
I had a Charge Spoon on my last road bike and loved it.
Got a Selle Italia on current roadie - went out on Sun and if someone had cut my nether regions off with a knife I wouldn't have known - numb!
Is it similar to the Spoon? Looks similar profile.

Flaps!

They're only available in brown or white!

rascal - great saddles, if you get on well with the Spoon the Knife should fit fine - similar shape just slimmed down and lighter weight.

I bought two, £5 off first order over £50, and Quidco cashback.

Very comfy sadddles, I have done 100 milers on mine and just don't notice it.

Would buy another but... white or brown?

Anyone used one on a road bike? I'm tempted as my Arione is like sandpaper to my undercarriage.

There's a seller on Ebay that has red ones at a similar price:

[url= http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CHARGE-KNIFE-SELLE-VELO-TITANE-RAIL-ROUTE-MONTAGNE-FIXIE-ETANCHE-MTB-2014-/261645826997?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_71&var=&hash=item828170a956 ]Clicky[/url]

Looks like an error, because their English language listing has them for £45. 😀

shame there isn't any black. If you are heavy on kit I'd steer clear. I've had 2, one I bent the rails on a heavy landing and the second one the shell cracked. They both had a decent amount of use, but I've not done that to any other saddles. Comfy though.

Don't suppose anyone has a link to them in black at a good price… ?

I can't tell the difference in feel between the Spoon on one mtb and the knife on the other.

Thanks OP for the PSA. Excellent saddle for £25.

FWIW, I'm usually fairly heavy on my kit and no problems with them yet. And the white cleans up perfectly even after liberal applications of mud.

I've got these on both my road bikes, very nice. For alternative colours, I got mine from [url= http://www.tritoncycles.co.uk/components-c9/saddles-c85/charge-knife-saddle-2014-p1464 ]Triton Cycles[/url] - not £25 but the best price I found when I was looking around for them. Looks like they may have gone up a bit, mind - I think I paid £35 for mine.

Based on past Rutland experience I'd be phoning to check they actually have stock, as they won't let you know if they haven't, I should have learned this the 1st time. Bitter, moi?

Ordered, running a Spoon right now to it will be nice to see how this one compares.

Does anyone know if the covering is synthetic or leather?

Hmmm…I think the Knife will be fine.
Might be worth me adjusting current seat position first - don't remember it being quite so numbing last time I rode it….don't wanna miss out on a good seat at that price either though.
Arse (quite literally!)

they have had that offer up for a few months now I think - the White one is more off white. as above, can't tell any difference in fit with a Spoon.

I've never had a problem with them. However, I just called to check.
Apparently they have sold quite a few today and only have 30-odd left in stock. As I was on the phone I just ordered one. Should be with me tomorrow!

The last Knife saddle I had was great - can't go wrong at this price

Not a fan.

I've had two and they both creaked like mofo's and on one the leather split. The bike hadn't been crashed or owt.

Both were far more cony than my spoon but we're a bit too wide for my tastes (much happier on my Ti Fly).

Used my new Knife for a 30 mile road ride yesterday.
Really comfy and no numb nuts!
