Re: Mule Team Scales from Halpern

I’ve got two pair on two of my mules. It’s a great product. I thought I would add the link for those that may not know where to find them. I hope that’s ok? https://www.halperntitanium.com/spyderco-handles/ I chose the textured scales. The only thing I would change, is there is just a small bit of t...

Re: Why all the hoopla over REX45?

I don’t remember for sure, but I think Hap40 isn’t in regular production. So there are probably folks that missed the train. The next train was rex45. That, plus orange G-10.

Re: Fixed Blades?

I’ve been a long time fan of Spydie fixed blades. I would love a Bradley Bowie in CTS-XHP or 3V

Re: $300 Taiwan Spyderco?

I think it’s a cool looking blade. I dig many of the collaboration model spydies. I’m looking forward to getting it on closeout when it’s discontinued.

Re: Factory Seconds Sale

It’s loooong and cold. You won’t like it. Don’t go. 😉

Kidding aside, it all depends on when you get there. Some folks get their more than 24 hrs before the doors open. If you get there the day of, the wait can be 4+ hrs to get in. Just depends.

Would love to see CTS-XHP on it. But I realize that’s highly unlikely.

Re: What would make you buy more Spyderco fixed blades?

I’m a big fan of Spyderco fixed blades. I’ll most likely buy a few of them no matter what. I think I have just as many Spyderco fixed blades as I do their folders. Guess I’m one of the odd ones. I loved the original Temperance and have enjoyed making handles for my mule blades. Very unique and creat...

Re: Spyderco Sprints: Are they a valuable investment or not ?

Knives and guns in general aren't investments. Sure it happens but it's not a good way to make a living. joe Not sure I follow what you mean? Where I am at, gun stores are popping up all over the place. Online gun sales seem to be booming. So it seems many think it’s a great way to make a living?

Re: Sprint Runs and the Abysmal Aftermarket.

Exactly price fixing eBay buy it now. All agreed. Geeze must be allot of Ebay sellers here. I’m not an eBay seller, I just disagree with your point of view. Whenever I see these threads pop up, and read the passionate arguments from the folks that take issue with the secondary market, those argumen...

Re: Sprint Runs and the Abysmal Aftermarket.

“Price fixing” is when 2 or more entities get together and decide to not undercut one another so they can both charge more than the market would otherwise bear. Thus, getting to price like a monopoly even though they are not otherwise. This is indeed a predatory business practice and yet is nothing...

Re: Sprint Runs and the Abysmal Aftermarket.

I don’t think the aftermarket is “abysmal”. I think there is a quick fix, if that’s how you feel OP. Just don’t watch it. Let folks do what they want to do when they want to do it.

I guess the internet allows folks to monitor any halls they wish. C’est la vie.
