Wildeals is awesome and usually has the all time best prices.

Both of these shops fell into the same uncomunicative / unreliable - borderline scam type shops recently... various feedback across the interweb, from customer experience.

Thank you Spyderco, and Kristi for this thread.

As an Aussie, I get stung alot by large shipping costs :o

+1 on all replies.

I've been bit with each one of my knives, generally within the first couple of hours of owning it....
Just the way it is.

Now, if you were a bowling ball collector, and kept dropping it on your feet...i'd be suggesting looking for an alternate hobby.

Nothing two flash, but these 2 just arrived today, and are coincidentally my first :spyder:

I've only got 2...

They both arrived in the mail today, One Delica 4 CE, and one D'Allara CE.

I used my Benchmade 707 Sequel to open the packages... I look at the Delica first, and feel an instant 'bond' to it, smooth, comfortable and secure, and even though it was one of the cheapest knives I own ...

Well, I just got my Lone Wolf HARSEY T2 delivered to my office, Its huge....so I scared the accounts department by opening it, then tried it in my pocket, then put it back in the box...

I would say its a less desirable example...

I usually get my knives delivered to my work address....as a result, I open the box secretly underneath the desk (otherwise the staff will think i'm weird) have a quick look at the knife, and put it in my pocket.... then play with it at home.

Oh....I've gotta have one :eek:

Its like a trainwreck....I cant watch, but I cant look away...you sure have got the :spyder: addiction :D

Holy crap is right... :cool: :eek:

alot of people respect the whole chopper/bike way of life,and there are also the folks who frown upon it,because it looks 'scary'and maybe dangerous what the above do and represent.
almost reminds me of how some folks are towards knives.

Ahah ;) now we are getting somewhere, I knew it was more ...

I think the crew at Spyderco are doing just fine... the are one of the few companies that remain 'gimmick' free in their marketing ploy, much of which is word of mouth.

They make knives, good knives, at a good price... its a winning formula.

+1, Just bought 3 oz of the stuff for 30bucks, and I know its going to do right by my knives.

:D Thanks Doc, and sorry for the hijack!! :p

I joined this forum a few days ago, in my search for my first Spydie...since then, i've ordered two, A Delica, and a D'Allara....both times, google has sent me through to threads and discussions on here, you guys should be proud of the footprints you leave through the Interwebs.

:cool:
