Re: BHQ with a hap40 Lum Tanto exclusive?

Here’s how I see it. Limited issue blades and increasing prices = I am not surprised at all that expectations are raising.

The higher the prices go, the more I expect to see these types of sentiments and discussions.

I still wish I would have snagged one of these. Missed another. C’est la vie

Re: Crazy deals @ Sierra and other places

Not necessarily a crazy deal, but KW has their green Millie exclusive for sale again. For those who have held off on that one. Might be worth a look.

Re: The PITS - Get One Before They Are Gone!

I’ll give that a big second. I got a blue PITS at the second sale on close out. Greatest Spydie surprise for me in 2017. I’m very happy with it. It’s lightweight, fast in hand and has great ergos. It’s a home run.

Re: 2018 Spyderco Resolutions

I am very pragmatic by nature and a bit of a minimalist..... ...I still buy all kinds of knives that I don't really need. If I only owned what I needed I'd have a Pacific Salt, a Waterway and a fillet knife. No, I buy knives every year that I don't strictly "need"..... My New Year's resol...

Re: MAP policy change? 35%

Go buy a gas station special if an extra $10 bucks is going to kill ya. I think you may be missing a few choices out there in between where we are at and the gas station specials. But I give you points for the clever insult. I’m trying to read the room here and the feeling I’m getting from these ty...

Re: MAP policy change? 35%

So say what you want about MAP, but if enforced that 5% is a huge deal from most small knife dealers. It's the difference between selling Spyderco and not. My 2 cents. I appreciate you sharing your point of view as well. It provides another insightful perspective. I am curious to know what your tho...

Re: MAP policy change? 35%

Actually going from 60% of MSRP to 65% of MSRP is 8.3% increase. Plus annual increase 3-4%? The company I am working for doesn't give it's employees even half of this. All of this is up to Spyderco. I hope that they know, what are they doing. I do not need to buy any more knives. If I sell 80%, I w...

Re: MAP policy change? 35%

...but it didn't stop too many people from buying spydies What are you basing that assumption on? Have you seen a sales out report? I used to buy many new blades each year. Back before all the big vendors enforced MAP. I too enjoy the thrill of the hunt and finding good deals. It’s a hobby for me. ...

Re: MAP policy change? 35%

So in another year or so, it might be cheaper to shop at the factory outlet store. Unless of course they also reduce their in store discount.

Re: Spyderco Factory Outlet Seconds Sale 2017

I wanted to add another voice of gratitude for another great sales event. I enjoyed it again this year. The biggest surprise for me was the blue PITS. I love this blade. The fit and finnish is superb. And it’s likely one of the sharpest out of box spydies I’ve ever had.
