Sorry if my question has been answered in an earlier post, just too many pages to go back to scan for Tacticalkniveshop.com's reputation. They have really good prices and I check their contact address which turned out to be in a residential area so these people can't be legit.

Scam website. Do not buy from them. There are a number of red flags, one is that they have a nearly identical selection to the website you asked about yesterday.

Also, just a friendly reminder that this thread is primarily used for listing "crazy deals" on Spyderco knives. Though sometimes slow, utilizing the forums search function can be more efficient than scanning through pages of content.

Hey Bruce. Using the forum search function (upper right corner) will save you a lot of time. If you have a question about a dealer, search first, then start a new thread if you don't find results. Asking about a dealers reputation in the dedicated deals thread makes it harder to get an answer.

Also, Spyderco has MAP pricing so crazy deals are often the first sign its a scam site. This thread is a good place to find those rare legit deals. There are lots of great, reliable dealers that you can support rather than searching out something that is most likely too good to be true. I'd suggest: DLtrading, New Graham, Knife Joy, Knifecenter, blade hq, knifeworks, riversedge as a good starting place.

Thank you for the advise Nick, however I tried searching using their name but got errors coming back saying the words used are too common as in tactical and knives so after I wasn't able to search, I had to post to ask.

I may order myself another sharpmaker and a street beat at those prices. Wasn't sure if they were legit but if you vouch for them that gives me extra confidence.

Wow, Street Beat is $30 below MAP? I'd say it's worth a gamble paying with PayPal or credit card so you can dispute the transaction if it ends up being bogus. Looks like the retailer is legit though. Something to keep in mind in case I like the Street Beat you're sending me to try out...

They also have diamond and UF rods for Sharpmaker $5-10 below MAP. Might want to stock up.

Best price I've seen on the rods now that RS seems to have upped its prices by 3-5% on Bigdaddy. It looks like DAK is now better priced on a lot of Spyderco stuff than Bigdaddy since Jan 2nd when all the RS stock on Bigdaddy underwent a price increase.

That’s the best deal going presently. I’ve bought 3 the past 3 weeks. Price was slightly better on Bigdaddy until the price increase. Paid $137 shipped for the 1st two. Price went up $6 which now makes Dak the better deal, and no membership fee.

How's BigDaddy's selection? Do they have any other models that have better steel than VG10?

Not great, I'm assuming that DAK outdoors shares the same inventory for some options as they show the same quantity in stock as BigDaddy. Bigdaddy seems to have between 65-85 spyderco items in stock, its fluctuated a bit. Worth the $1 trial membership. They have different suppliers within their inventory, as some stock numbers end in BDU (naturally for BigDaddyUnlimited), and some end in RS2 (price increase since Jan 2nd), and CSS, and 1 other I've seen.

Right now they have:
Bradley for $232,
Roc G10 $143
Parata $143
Caribbean PE leaf $136
PM2 black G10 S30V $112
police stianless 109
native 5 FRN s110v $106 (was $100 flat until Jan 2nd)
Street for $84
bunch of enduras and delicas for around $62-70.
Dragonfly 2 for $50, the salt for $53
(I picked up the dragonfly salt and a sharpmaker for $128 shipped.
They do charge shipping, but for most stuff they're the 2nd best pricing to Dak I've seen.
I've bought 9 pieces the past 3 weeks, made darn good use of the trial. They did have s110V manix 2 for $123, and a couple other but OOS now.

For other than Spydie stock-- Not much BM, usually 0. But..picked up a Hogue Deka 20Cv for $100. **** of a lot of knife for $100. The price/quality/materials ratio on that piece is darn impressive and really has me second guessing some of my other purchases.

I guess to be fair it would now be $155 from BDU (Sharpmaker went up $4 Jan 2nd making DAK cheaper) and $8 shipping I think. Fairly certain no tax outside of Florida (No tax to NY state for sure). Not sure if DAK charges tax. Once I got the Hogue in hand I ordered a 2nd one. Like the Caribbean, I felt like both of these were a whole lot of knife for the price.

As far as the wife, its better to ask forgiveness than permission right-ha

The Bradley Bowie, Proficient and Chinook 4 prices seem either steep or uninspiring on Sierra's site but the Aqua Salt is at half of MSRP, which is pretty good IMO.

Guess I'll try Dack now that I see more good reports about them.
