Edited again - whoops! That was a link to a AR 15 from a popular American made brand on that website. I posted that because i am suspicious of the websites prices. - Paraguy

Some of Dack's shipments come from the distributor, some from their facility. There can be delays, so patience is advised. I've done 3 orders, two were slow but otherwise good. The third was canceled due to lack of product, though I suspect a pricing error from the distributor was the real cause.

MAP pricing must allow dealers to make a great profit if DACK is able to sell for those prices and still make profit.
Most drop shippers like them are happy making $1-2 per sale. Not bad profit for clicking a button.

I've had my Dacks order delayed and when I followed up, received daily spam mail. Month afterward was told original knife OOS, asked to buy another spyderco at same price with different scale color that was in stock and was told that knife too was OOS, while website was able to place in cart.

I ordered the Street Beat and Street Bowie from Dack's, took I think a week and a half to get them (was expecting longer), and paid something like 80 bucks each. Killer prices, unpredictable time between ordering and receiving. If I see a killer price and am willing to wait a little while, I wouldn't hesitate to buy again.

Does Dack's charge your card immediately or only after shipping notification ?

I may pick up a Street Beat from Dack's soon. I've never purchased from them before.
So it goes.

Never had a problem with Dack other than about a month wait for the Para 3 LW.
Well worth the discount, though

Can confirm, "knives21" code is still active at G&R :) .. I think I may have gotten one of the last K390 Stretches (sorry guys haha)! I was nervous because the transaction seemed to lag for quite a bit and it showed "out of stock" immediately after processing.
You're welcome as well. :D I thought about grabbing it a couple of hours ago, but decided to wait on a SE K390 Police instead.
Hahah, good looking out Jim, I appreciate it! :D ;)

Also.. Shout out to G&R Tactical for a job well done here! Ordered Wednesday, delivered in my mailbox Friday.. easily the best shipping experience I've had in recent memory. Plus the discount code offered and the fact that they're actually listed on the Spyderco Dealer Locator tool.. G&R is an easy recommendation for me to make.. absolutely good to go, as far as I'm concerned!

G&R is solid. I'd buy a lot more there if they had more in stock, but I got the Phoenix sprint for $252 as mentioned above when I first sa the deal in... March? I wish I'd gotten both the CF/S90V and REX45 Native Chiefs at the time, but they sold out when I went looking for them so I spent roughly 40 bucks more a piece than I needed to. They were reasonably quick and that 20% off is still a great deal on many models.

as far as Dack goes, I've heard wait times up to about 6 weeks, longer if there is a stock issue, they're not the best about communicating but I've never heard them not be straight with people.

Also, I prefer to be charged at the time of order, so I am not trying to figure my CC balance based on what I've paid rather than what I will/might pay some time down the road. I replaced a card after someone got the number and started doing test runs (like monthly Netflix - not a big score for CC fraud but an effective way to verify that a card is still working, before making a big charge), changed it before they did something big but I missed the Netflix charge because I was already using it for Netflix and scanned right past the different charge (they did the big subscription, online and physical discs, I only do online). Anyway, that expired card was used to order a pair of Swick 5 large. Well, it's been over a year and I changed my card. Would rather they have taken the money and then either be surprised or just have it show up without changing my personal accounting method.

For EU Spyderco fans, www.coutellerie-tourangelle.com has the Police 4 for 160€:

https://www.coutellerie-tourangelle.com ... 48255.html

Then there is Rhino for 160€ and they ​also had Opera for 168, but that one seems to be sold out

(watch out, they have these knives at 2 different prices each)

Couple of deals here, including Para 3 LW black blade (C223PBBK) for $30 below MAP, and Delica (C11FPBK) for $27 below MAP. Seller is gtg, I have ordered from them several times. They do charge shipping unless the order includes something from this category:

For EU fans:
I don't know if this meets the criteria for this thread, because it is not really cheap. But I just saw this Dyad and maybe someone is interested. It's only one, so...
