mailday: a knife i never thought I'd be able to own
I received a 154/S90V PM2 yesterday, something I never thought I'd be able to afford but it fell in my lap at a very fair price (thank you Nate). Just showing it off here since I have no knife friends locally! S90V Yojimbo is coming this week too :D thank god I had a lot of Benchmade's to sell!

I got one for $200 at my b&m and sold it for far less than most sell for now. I just did not know what to do with a knife so rare. Certainly not carry it

Epic score, thanks for sharing.

That's a great looking collection, Cory! You certainly have great taste in Spydercos :D

I'm carrying mine today, just to show my coworkers but believe me I have my SE Endura with if I need a knife!
At $200 I would have bought a few if I could, I've never heard of one selling for under ~$350 from a store. Most sold near MSRP didn't they?

Thanks David! It's kind of ironic, I used to give my brother a hard time for collecting safe queens and now I found myself doing it too. I'm a CF nerd and love Spyderco's peep ply texture so I decided to "collect" the Golden made PP CF Spydies I don't have, as funds allow. I've been dreaming about the Mille CF & titanium that's coming soon. LOLawa54 wrote:that's a pretty spiffy vertical of exotic spydies!

Awesome Cory and I hope it brings you plenty of joy. I think you got it for a very good price as well.

Nicely done, man! It's always a great feeling satisfying a grail-quest.

Re: mailday: a knife i never thought I'd be able to own
I was lucky enough to score one at the factory 2nds sale, so mine being a factory 2nd took away any excuse for not using mine. If I had a NIB first quality one like you did, I wouldn't use it either. :Dtwinboysdad wrote:I got one for $200 at my b&m and sold it for far less than most sell for now.

Re: mailday: a knife i never thought I'd be able to own
Wow that's an awesome price. I actually paid less for mine last week than you sold yours for so I'm very happy. Did yours come with papers? Mine didnt, I guess they didn't come with it when it was brand new and I've heard that from a few original owners of the 154/s90vtwinboysdad wrote:My guy hooked me up big time, they got 2 and he bought the other one.

Cory, the guy I bought mine from was the original owner and it has the papers. Perhaps some did and others didn't.dubya3 wrote:Did yours come with papers? Mine didnt, I guess they didn't come with it when it was brand new and I've heard that from a few original owners of the 154/s90v

Mine had papers
Re: mailday: a knife i never thought I'd be able to own
Yeah I'm just curious how many didn't come with them besides mine and the two guys that I've talked to on the Facebook trading pages. I won't have the "original" papers but the copy will be just as good for me, thank you.WCC wrote:Cory, the guy I bought mine from was the original owner and it has the papers.
