I have both and they are so far apart in use, that you would need to clearly define your actual needs. The Opera is a gentleman's folder and the GB2 is hard use working knife. One is an Acura, the other a Ford F250. Which would you use the most?
Hm, good point and good question. I guess the thing is, I have enough knives that any real *needs* are covered already. I have a BK9. I have several species of pm 2/3. I have a native 5 m4, strech2 zdp, wolfspyder, df2, a metric ton of classic Camillus knives, civivis, excellent axes, good tools. I don't exactly need either, but both would be used well and find plenty of time in my pocket.

One question I guess is, the spyopera *looks* like a small knife, which is what I'd want from it, but it's apparently native 5 sized? Is it smaller in hand than that suggests? Bc if it's more truly medium than small, I'll go with the GB2 I think.
The is a little heavier and a tiny bit shorter than the G10 Native. It feels slimmer in the hand due to the very neutral handle vs the Native's more contoured grip. Every surface is smooth as is the blade opening. However, it is in the middle sized range.

If MAP is not removed throughout the year, it should at least change from the current 30% off MSRP to 40%-45%. It’ll have no effect on what Spyderco charges dealers & distributors. The effect will be street price relief for the consumer. Of course, what we don’t know are MSRP increases effective January 2023.

There was no MAP before January 2016.

40% off MSRP JAN 2016
35% off MSRP JAN 2018
30% off MSRP JAN 2020

I really want to get the Drunken but the clip is holding me back. Anyone know of an aftermarket clip for it?

I've been good. Only thing I grabbed was a GiantMouse Jutland. I recall like the lines of it.

I was tempted by a whole ton of Spydercos... But most of which are knives I basically already have. But definitely considered one of the PM2 exclusives (especially the $140 DLT S90V version), the K390 SE Police for $124, and some of the better frn deals. But I've just got so many FRN knives... All of which are great, but I just can't justify another basically the same.

Hope all have gotten what you all have wanted! Some incredible deals, and definitely feels like the pre MAP era, when the deal hunting was much more fun.

Thanks. I didn't see that.

Also, alternatives are good. Some people stay with dealers they know and have an account with.

It's good to see the Sprint Runs on sale as well.

Yeah good points. Have to figure some of these, especially sprints/exclusives, will sell out before the end.

It's also hard to keep track of all the dealers and where everything's cheapest with so many places with different discounts!

Yeah, I was sorely tempted by that Chief and also Shaman pricing at KSF. Ultimately went with the FRN models I've been wanting to try since I usually carry the LWs more but it was a close thing.

You're coming here to get talked out of buying a knife? You'll be told to get two at that price.

Seriously though, I just purchased the KC Hap40 Delica for $124.78. Better still, I plan on making my own wooden scales. Never done it before.

:') terrible idea now that I think about it. Just tell me it is too small. Finger grooves don't line up. Too wide in the pocket. I want to hear all the bad.

I bummed I missed the Manix in this configuration and at $136, it is really hard to suppress your curiosity on this model.
