Re: Condolences for your missed deals

I got all the black friday deals I wanted but completely missed the online seconds sale. I ended up with a DLC Yojumbo and yellow Pacific Salt in the mail. Should be here today! Where had the yellow pac salts? That was one I definitely woulda sprung for (been one of those "bucket list" kn...

They did make lc200n lil native blades at one point. Maybe you'll get to buy a lil native salt someday down the road.

Been waiting for this to become a reality for a couple of years now!

Re: Please remove MAP pricing forever!

Spyderco is the only major knife company making a significant investment into making salt-water proof knives. For those of us who work and live on the water, this is it. Yes, I used a 440C rig knife for years and it was fine, it just required regular maintenance, but having truly rust-proof knives ...

Re: Please remove MAP pricing forever!

Some of you pro-MAP folks seem to think that pre-MAP was a disaster, but it wasn't. For me, post-MAP simply means I buy fewer knives. [snark]If we are doing snark, then why don't they set MAP (0% off) at MSRP. I mean after all, people complained about the 3 MAP increases and still bought knives, so...

Re: Seconds sale 2022

On a positive note, I'm grateful that Sal, Kristi and Co. decided to host another Online Seconds Sale despite their initial adamant stance against holding another. I'm really really hoping that this becomes an annual tradition in line with the in-person Seconds Sale, even though you guys may have to...

I received a notification on the app, but that was when I woke up at about 4 in the morning where I'm at, so I missed out on most of the good deals already. Would have wante...

Ugh. Despite the high currency exchange rates, I have 4 SE Salt H1 knives incoming...no thanks to you enablers here. I figured that it's about time to test whether the hype behind SE H1 is legitimate or not. SMKW and Knives Plus has some of the best H1 deals around so far, WMK would have been the ch...

Re: Please remove MAP pricing forever!

Keep MAP but change the discount from 30% off MSRP to 40% off MSRP. This should keep sales going and offset some MSRP increases. A happy medium! How about 40% off AND no MSRP increases for at least 2 years? That's an even happier medium I could live with! :squinting-tongue Just kidding, of course. ...

Re: Please remove MAP pricing forever!

Also, speaking as a co-owner of a small business where I'm at - Most dealers have many, many, many other brands in stock that sell well too (don't need to list brands here)...I don't think one brand will make a very serious dent in the sales of most businesses - unless of course that dealer exclusiv...

Re: Please remove MAP pricing forever!

With regards to the proposed MAP holiday - dealer exclusives are always dropping now and then, so I don't think most Spyderco dealers will have dry sales all throughout the year. FOMO will still win out.

Re: The Lil' Temperance 3 Lightweight: A comprehensive review

Received mine yesterday and I've got pretty mixed feelings. On the plus side, I love the ergos and hand feel. It feels like it was made for my hand. Probably the sharpest out-of-the-box serrated edge Spydie I've ever had. I usually take my SE edges to the Sharpmaker almost immediately but I'm leavi...

I'm sorry to hear about your wife Gail's injury.

That is surely a rare occurrence and he might have misinterpreted the punches...
