Probably one of my cheapest one... The FRN Dragonfly. It suits my needs best and is always with me. Opening packages, bags of chips etc. with a key, teeth... Sigh, just seem barbaric to me.

Nah, Gabe is a stand up guy. It was the packing guy's fault. Too many orders. He assured me he'll have it shipped out tomorrow.

Gabpro... One of the very few on my good guys list on eBay. I usually buy from whitemountain (Justin). Good overseas shipping rates these 2 and delivery has always been fine. Still can't bear the thought of paying for USPS global express. Aargh, only one arrived. I was thinking they accidentally le...

Happy birthday Jim, don't know you much but I enjoy reading about your work. Ok, maybe "enjoy" isn't the right word, but interesting perspective of life as a corrections officer in the US. Stay safe and have a good one.

If Spyderco can make one at the same pricepoint as a real sodbuster... Yes.

On eBay I avoid buying branded goods. from Chinese and HK sellers.. Anything with an American brand e.g. Columbia, The North Face, Apple, Spyderco etc is most likely (90%) fake. All else is OK I guess. I've bought a camping stove, tent, MP3 accessories etc.

Congratulations on the job. Times are tough even here in Asia (Singapore) and there's still a lot of folks unemployed.

I caved and bought 2 from the bay... Less than $90 excluding shipping. No pics, nothing... I'm overly optimistic on anything Spyderco. As for the fact it is not FFG, not an issue since my usual cutting tasks doesn't require it.

Nah, it's ok Tony... I'm gonna wrap them up in a generic box. My point was I asked for an ordinary Spyderco box... Would even pay for them but was surprised there were none. I don't need them to look like they came straight from the factory. I thought about buying 2 ladybugs to scavenge the boxes bu...

Spyderco could probably provide you with a couple unlabeled boxes. That may be your best option since I suspect you will have a very hard time finding properly labeled ones. Most Kopas were purchased as collectibles and most who bought them are aware they're more valuable with the box than without....

It's not a race and if it was one there's no way I'd be a contender. Judging by posts though I'd say Paul is right up there or at least in the top 5.

For every 10 or even 20 good sale there's bound to be one that went awry. I don't think the mods here needs that kind of aggravation to deal with.
