I'm carrying my Swayback today. IMO every bit as nice as my Sebenza, for a lot less cash!

I'm interested in the Charisma, the SPY27 Meerkat, the Retract, the 15v PM2 Lightweight, and the 15v Lil' Native. Great release for the budget minded folks!

Sorry if I missed this but the Bodacious s90v Carbon Fiber Sprint is available at SFO.

Great price!

The average tariff on US exports was less than 2% before the tariff war.


The median tariff rate worldwide is currently 2.6%. The US tariff rate is 1.5%, which remains one of the lowest in the world. If you remember, in 2018, all non-sanctioned countries were offered a zero tariff deal ...

A quick check of around 20 vendor websites shows 50/50 between CTS BD1N and just BD1N, with a couple showing 440C. I would guess your are probably just fine.

I shop Dack. These are their normal everyday prices. I picked up the all blacked out Bodacious months ago for the same price. A good deal at Dack is the 4.99 occasional shipping cost.

Manix 2 Lightweight 15v arriving tomorrow and a sprint Military 2 s90v carbon fiber is on the way.

MidwayUSA has the Military 2 S90V/CF sprint for ~$228 USD:

I was able to stack a code on top of this (15MUSA I think) that brought it down to like $190 shipped. Seems like a code I had access to not shopping at Midway for a while, but ...

My GB2 was purchased 2 years ago and it was weak. I did the detent fix on it and also opened up the cutout for the lock bar access. Love it! Starmate is over my "buy on sale" motto budget. Since the recent OPFOCUS changes my sprint run purchases have gone way down.

I know many prefer the sharp edges on the spydie hole. I do not, and soften all of mine. I have 4 of the Micro-Melt sprints (sales ), and they are not quite as sharp as usual, but I would still soften them if I could, but won't.

Dragonfly 2 Micro-Melt PD1 Sprint. On sale for Knifejoy KJ+ buyers club members.

My Resilience looks like your first pic.

Of course this topic has been discussed many times. I have 8 Manix's and couldn't begin to open any of them with one finger. Never modified any of them and just accept it for what it does. Love the knives.

Dack's shipping times have become longer, but the prices can't be beat.

The Swayback is one of the nicest Spydies in my collection. Fit and finish is superb.
