No shamans yet. I'm waiting on some shamans!
There was just one so far, but remember...no exclusives. So likely the only thing besides base models would be the Rex45 sprint (still not a bad choice though)

Maybe they are trying to make the page smaller to save bandwidth?

They came and went. Hopefully there will be some Cru-cartas! ;)
There was a small handful at last years sale. Unless they intentionally withheld some, I have my doubts that any made it through to this year. :( (Those would probably crash the servers like day one again. LOL)

Isn’t the Abel Native an exclusive?

Good point. But is it in the category of the ray mears exclusive wolfspyder? Perhaps those have different rules?

They had WolfSpyders at the last in-person sale too, so I'm not sure what the criteria is. I have always thought all models were fair game as seconds since they can't be sold through any channel as first-quality.

Wonder what's going on today, very slow to add new drops. It's only been the original drop since 11:30 this morning I believe?

My guess is they're trying to catch up on all the physical packing of orders before taking more. If they really have had thousands as mentioned on twitter, that must be crushing their normal shipping crew.

Good point. Heck, I work in shipping/receiving...I'd gladly take a trip out there and help if they paid for it! :cool:

Huh, maybe all the negativity on (anti)Social Media made them end it early? Or they are clearing the decks for the post 5PM East coast mad rush? What do the Kiwi's call it, a lolly scramble?

I want a Rex 45. Haven't seen it yet. Haven't seen any shamans but apparently I missed them. Oh well.

Yep. I'd expect something within an hour based on yesterday. I plan on checking in every 30 minutes or so.

There was one Rex 45 model offered so far, the Lil' Native. I passed on it as I would never use it.

I've been checking regularly too, but there hasn't been much as of late. It looks like I won't be getting anything, but it was fun watching, all good.

If it going well for Spyderco then good and I am genuinely happy about that but I can’t be the only one having issues.
You aren't.


I had to remind myself that this is an inventory reduction sale.... I don't like going to liquidation sales or black friday or any other hurry up and find a deal before they are gone events...

It was nice to load the website last night and buy the bandanas and the t shirt I truly wanted instead of fighting the digital gods to get my order in for something I'm not sure I even really want. When we are able to go in person I look forward to shopping the seconds sale. But I agree this is a bit of a bummer and I'm sure they wish they had an answer to the madness.




This reminds me of registering for classes or trying to get season football tickets as an Auburn student in the early days of colleges transitioning to online

There is probably more than one I'd guess.
