In the past, the OpFocus seconds sale has taken place in early May. Of course, in person at SFO.

Thanks, I look forward to attending one year.

We also do a seconds sale for "Save and Serve" professionals. (Law enforcement, military, fire fighters, first responders, etc).

Oh wow. I never heard of this seconds sale. Does anyone know when this generally takes place?

I'm kind of hoping early next year since I have spent far too much this year.

I hate to say it but I must agree. In my impatience of waiting for the Shaman , I ordered 2 Microtechs and a Carribean. Now I'm broke.

I PMed this to GaryArt, then thought it might be useful here. I designed the sheath for deep carry of the BushcraftUK knife, its meant to go down a long way, and is based on the very widely used bushcraft knife pouch sheaths. Usually with veg-tan leather, these sheaths start out tight but loosen up...

Is the Proficient sheath made so it could be used for lefty carry as well?

Yes it is ambidextrous.

Hi GaryArt, Thanx for your input. At this time, my first recommendation would be to pull the plastic insert, as you did, and I did. Earlier in the thread, someone asked about a Kydex sheath.. I spoke with Christina yesterday about it and told her she could use my knife as a sample for making a shea...

I know this thread is not really a review of the Proficient as it is today but more what is should be. Being this thread is what sparked my interest in the knife resulting in me purchasing it, I will give my initial impression and what "needs" to be changed. First the knife design is as close to per...

I can't believe you guys "made me" order the Proficient. Well that is at least what I telling my wife if she finds out I ordered another expensive knife. I needed a good fixed blade for camping and hiking. After all the good reviews, I just decided to go for it. I'm looking forward to it coming in.

What is your guys thoughts about PE, SE or CE in a knife like this? I used to be all about PE knives and just have gotten more into SE models. I was originally thinking maybe going for the CE version but it seems a lot of dislike for CE models out there. For this price i want to get the right one th...

Looks like a awesome and innovative necklace. Love the idea behind it. Making me really think about priorities in my life. Very interested in more info. Sent email and look forward to hearing back

Pretty sure they'll show up eventually. Yes I don't think it is a matter of if, just when. Spyderco still has quite a few knives to issue from reveal 5. But if you consider how Covid is effecting the manufacturing community, they are doing pretty **** good. My hopes with the Shaman is they have rea...

Change of plans. Took too long, now there's not going to be any Spyderco purchase from me for the next 6 months. Instead I was able to get the wife to agree on another totally not necessary but soooooo nice to have extravagance. So long... Cool. My chances of getting one just went up. 😂 Hey leave o...

Cool. My chances of getting one just went up.

Thanks all. Yes it is really unnoticeable. I only saw it first when I oiled the knife and the spot had a rainbow effect. Once I cleaned it well, it became a blueish spot that you really had to look hard to see. My main thing was that it didn't effect the performance of the knife. You guys gave me mo...

Looks like it may have been used once or twice then returned. It is always possible but I highly doubt it. As soon as I saw the blade discoloration I immediately looked over entire knife and blade with magnifying glass. It looks 100% unused. If this was a return, the last person opened it, saw the ...

I usually buy all my knives from SFO. This is first I bought through Amazon (them directly not third party). The price was hard to beat. I figured I would be safe with Amazon in not getting a counterfeit or second. I was worried more about the integrity of the steel rather than visual being this is ...

I just purchased a Lil' temperance. I saw one side has what looks like a strain or bad heat treatment on the blade. I wiped off the blade well but the discoloration is still there So far all my Spyderco blades have been flawless. Is this something to be concerned over. I tried to capture as best I c...

I have had a interest in knives ever since I was a kid and my father have me my first Buck knife. Over the years I have owned many brands and now as a Law Enforcement Officer, I carry one every day on the job but also carry a knife when I'm off. I had recently learned about the Opfocus program and h...

It is hard to believe that it's only 2 weeks out with the major sites still not taking preorders but one can always hope.
