This is the same dealer I got a temp from on eBay and they are legit. The sekil model I got rivaled Golden on lockup being rock solid.

Re: Crazy Good Deals Part 2!!
I jusy received my Lil' Temp 3 and it is a seriously solid knife. Blade is about the same length as a Delica with about 1/4" longer edge, but almost twice as thick and mich wider. A bit stiff compared to my PM2 where the blade swings more or less freely on lock engagement, but still feels great and I love compression locks.
Re: Crazy Good Deals Part 2!!
It is much stiffer than other comp locks, which I don't mind. I actually carry it clipless like I would a backlock.defenestrate wrote: ↑Fri Oct 02, 2020 4:46 pmI jusy received my Lil' Temp 3 and it is a seriously solid knife.

Re: Crazy Good Deals Part 2!!
Got mine today and you're right, what a stout knife! I will say that the compression lock seems to engage really early and not very deep in the notch. Nothing that compromises safety. Glad I picked this one up.

Attention Manix fans.
New Graham recently acquired a Manix collection and posted many long discontinued versions for sale.

The clear cages have a bad rep of breaking but I think Spyderco will replace it with a black one if it does break

I like the M4 one but I'm trying to buy less knives. Another hobby has started to use up my fun money

Re: Crazy Good Deals Part 2!!
I haven't bought a Manix 2 for a few years, and I don't have anything with 20CV yet (though it seems to be a populat steel among some good makers), so I got the red one.

Re: Crazy Good Deals Part 2!!
I missed out on the GB when first out and thought I'd missed the second, but now I saved 20 bucks or so. Thanks.
I have noticed that while AZ customer knives seems to focus on high end (read: more than I'm ready to pay for) knives, they often have very reasonable prices. Both the GB2 and the Schempp bowie I saw are less than other sites are charging. Will have to turn notifications on, some of the prices for past Schempp knives like Persians have sometimes been very impressive as well.

They're my favorite site for browsing discontinued spydies. I've seen some great deals on more current models too, like a $125 autonomy I missed out on.defenestrate wrote: ↑Tue Oct 13, 2020 8:52 amI missed out on the GB when first out and thought I'd missed the second, but now I saved 20 bucks or so.

Yes but they will sell the seconds for the same price as the used ones and they don't have any warranty, just wanted people to be aware.The Meat man wrote: ↑Tue Oct 13, 2020 9:32 amThey also sell used knives too, don't they?koenigsegg wrote: ↑Tue Oct 13, 2020 9:19 amJust read carefully they do sell seconds, although usually good about it being in descriptionvivi wrote: ↑Tue Oct 13, 2020 9:17 amThey're my favorite site for browsing discontinued spydies.
