Why can’t I find for love or money a Charge Knife (saddle)? They are displayed on their website and I have emailed Charge Bikes with no joy. Contacted the UK distributer who didn’t even know Charge made the Knife. I found a post from someone who said that they discounted the knife from the range and made the Spoon with titanium rails as their ‘halo’ model but i can’t find any for sale, could anyone point me in the right direction?

Looks like the Charge Knife Saddle 2014 was sold until 2014

Try search on eBay

All of my mtb's have charge spoons on them and they work so well and dont even notice them under me. I had a knife on my road bike, being that I thought they would be the same fitting and I just couldnt get on with it and sold it on.
I was contemplating a Fabric saddle as the next in the line . Its such a personal thing I know , but I suspect there maybe a reason why the Knife didnt sell and was discontinued.

I have them on my XC and lightweight cyclocross bikes, because they are light. I don't have them on any bike I spend more than an hour and a half riding, as they are not that comfortable. I did buy them years ago, it doesn't look like they are available anymore.

I liked the Charge Knife and always found them comfy whereas I think the Spoon is bloody awful; too wide and too padded.

Biggest issue I had with the Knife was that they just weren’t very well made. I think I’ve got a white one kicking about the garage.
