Re: Price increases for 2024
I have only bought sprint runs, discontinued models, or map sale knives over the last two years. It's rare that I will buy a production model at map pricing.

Re: Knife Joker forest green para 3 LW
I like it and was tempted until I saw the price. To much for a Para 3 LW imo.

Re: Crazy Good Deals Part 2!!
Yes, I've ordered from BHQ before. Pretty good experiences... :winking-tongue But seriously, I ordered from hand-tools.com once back in 2017 for the Caly 3 HAP40 sprint. I don't recall any issues and it looks like it shipped the same day (or at least they processed the order the same day). So only ...

Re: I may Have Gotten Scammed….
Hopefully everything works out in the end. Going forward don't pay for anything without buyer protection. I only pay with PP G&S, or a credit card. A lot of people now want you to send funds with PP F&F which I refuse to do.

Re: Crazy Good Deals Part 2!!
If Spyderco sold select Sprints direct-only, and sold them at competitive prices to other Sprints, Exclusives, or even base models, I suspect retailers would see that as competition. I would. Remember, too, that when Spyderco offers a Sprint direct-only, they take the full investment risk. And when...

Re: Crazy Good Deals Part 2!!
I believe your correct. Spyderco factory store sells at full MSRP to not compete with their dealers. However these were dedicated knives that are only offered at the factory store. They weren't competing with their dealer network on these models and could of originally offered them at MAP. Instead t...

Re: *Spydie Summer Sale 2023*
I picked up the new Military 2 with a discount on National Knives. I also purchased something I've been curious about for years, but the price was finally right. The Mcbee is only $125 at Knives Plus, which is $50 off the normal price. I think it originally cost about $129 when it first dropped in ...

I love the look of the knives, but I can't justify the SFO prices.

Re: Native Chief CS Exclusive
I think that's the benefit of these exclusives is that the stores/distributers that sell them can reorder them, rather than sprints which are true limited editions. For certain dealers that is true, but there are others that will only run them once. CS is one of the dealers that has never done anot...

Re: Native 5 salt is Magnacut?
I'm a bit concerned with the delay. Spyderco is usually the front runner in releasing new blade steels and they're late to the party with this one. Hopefully whatever the hold up is gets resolved soon. I know they have our best interests in mind and don't want to release something they don't feel is...

Re: Black DLC Cruwear PM2 back in stock at DLT
Yeah that is odd. By now all DLC PM2s should have the blacked out compression lock.

Re: Pricing
Look at it this way. Your unused knives have increased in value between 5 to 18% in a few short months. Even used your knives have increased in value. That Swayback I bought on sale for $190 from Knife Joker on 11/27 is now worth $314. Yes, theoretically used knife values should increase when the o...

Re: Would you buy a VG10 knife in 2022?
I would definitely still buy a knife in VG-10. I have a limit on how much I would be willing to pay for one, but if the price was right I'd buy it.

Re: Pricing
This year's price increase has changed my Spyderco purchasing habits. I bought a couple Taichung models before the price hike. With the new prices I doubt I'll buy another from a dealer. The last couple I have purchased have been second hand, and it will most likely be how I purchase most of my futu...
