Spyderco Angle Gauge

[paladin]

A few questions about the Spyderco Angle Gauge:
1. When were they made?
2. How many were made?
3. How much did they sell for originally?
4. Do they ever show up on the secondary market?
( I haven't ever seen any for sale on auction sites)
Thanks in advance to anyone who tries to help educate me on this topic!!!

1. They were released in August 2010 and didn't last too long.

2. 175

We only made about 175 pieces to test...They certainly cost us more to make than the asking price.

3. $19.95 http://www.spyderco.com/catalog/details.php?product=583

thanks Jabba!

Dang. I wonder why they made so few. They had to know they would sell out fast.

It was just a test to see how useful they were and what kind of user response they'd get.

Please try to keep in mind that this is a test. I would like to know if the tool is effective for you in determining the edge angle. Perhaps another thread on the Spyderco general forum for discussion and sharing of info? We're trying to decide if we should make them. Making them as a regular item is more complex than this test is so any info will help us.

Here's mine for some Spydie p0rn. It really was being at the right place at the right time to get one. Sad they didn't produce more

Anyone have something else like this, links to to other tools like this?

unfortunately it does not have anywhere near the charm as the spyderco version, but thanks for the link

Also with less charm for the Spyderco fan, but available, is the Richard Kell 625-3000 Brass Bevel Gauge.

I'd buy a few to give as gifts. What stinks is I was around here when they went to market and still didn't get one!!
