Re: Pakkawood Endura HAP40 exclusive at KC

I got the notice mine has shipped which probably means the paperwork is done and it actually ships tomorrow.

My Delicas

I ordered 3 Delicas through the MassDrop Blue Box offer, one for me and one each for my two grandsons. I ordered all 3 alike in orange. Some folks sneered a little because the price is the same (ok, two cents more than BladeHQ) but you wait a while to get them and pay shipping. Well, I figured the $...

Re: Tip up or down from the factory, why?

But the question/topic isn't personal choice, it's what determines how they are shipped from the factory and why?

Re: Tip up or down

Yes, I like tip down but was questioning why knives leave the factory set a certain way, not which way is better when carrying.

Re: Which spyderco is in the mail?

Now they've updated and say delivery tomorrow. Better late than never as they say but that's ridiculous when they made the trip together and logged in arriving and leaving together in PA, TN, AR and Houston but once within 50 miles of delivery one takes 4 extra days to arrive. And that's if they del...

Re: Which spyderco is in the mail?

I have one Delica on the way from Massdrop. I bought 3 of them. All shipped the same day from the same place. All logged in at the same basic time in the same places along the way. Two delivered last Saturday and the third still not delivered. Not happy with FedEx/USPS.

Re: Pakkawood Endura HAP40 exclusive at KC

I just got 3 Delicas from Massdrop, well 2 with the third riding around in the mail truck still apparently. I ordered all 3 in orange to have one matching for me with 2 for grandsons. One was upgraded to an Emerson opener and one was upgraded to all black combo edge. Now I'm curious if the 3rd will ...

Re: Crazy deals @ Sierra and other places

MassDrop has the Para 3 for $119.99 including a large zippered carry case and free shipping to the U.S. If you don't want/need the case you can deduct $10 so it's just $109.99 for the knife alone with free shipping. Not a barn burner but not a bad deal either. https://www.massdrop.com/buy/spyderco-p...

Upgraded knives

I bought 3 Blue Box Delicas on MassDrop planning to give two to grandsons as gifts. Two of them arrived today. One was upgraded to the Emerson opener. The other was upgraded to the all black combo edge. I'm not sure why the third one didn't travel with its friends but looking forward to its arrival ...

Re: My knife dilemma...

Deciding which knife to buy, the "scientific" method. You make a list of all the "suspects". Order doesn't matter. Number them 1-xx. Then you need enough dice from a Yahtzee game or similar to add up to that many, i.e. if the list is 6 or less 1 die and if there are 13 you need 3...

Tip up or down from the factory, why?

Every one of my knives arrived with the clip set for tip up carry except for my PM2 which came tip down. What determines the direction from the factory for each model? Every one of them came set for right hand carry as well but since that is 90% of the population it makes sense. And I'm a righty. I ...

52100 Military

So the other thread got me thinking what if you had 52,100 Spyderco Military knives? Or 52,100 of any model of Spyderco knife. I don't know if they've made that many of any particular model although they probably have of some but man wouldn't that be one whale of a 'toy room' where you had them.

Re: Crazy deals @ Sierra and other places

Yes, I get it, without a dozen more comments being necessary. Nobody here owns a single knife other than Spyderco and wouldn't think of doing so so no need or interest in knowing about a really good deal otherwise. Got it. Truly. So also no need of anyone else repeating the already repeated.

Re: Crazy deals @ Sierra and other places

Massdrop has the Cold Steel Recon 1 XL for $99.99. For comparison it's $139.99 at BladeHQ. If you want a really large folder it's hard to beat. I hope it's ok to post crazy deals for other knives.

Re: Crazy deals @ Sierra and other places

Massdrop has the Foundry for $139.99 and free shipping provided 4 more people buy. It's limited to 15 total so not a lot of room for waiting.

Re: Salty Retirement Gift Suggestion

It's not a Salt series but a significant number of purchasers of this will receive an upgrade to a higher level/price model and/or a nice bonus item. Limited to 350 purchasers and currently around 90 so it will end probably by tomorrow. https://www.massdrop.com/buy/blue-box-spyderco-native-5?referer...
