OFFICIAL 2015 Black Friday/Cyber Monday Thread

[DougC-3]

Apparently it's still Cyber Monday at Reds Gear, with $10 off 75, $20 off 150, and $35 off 250. Also free S&H. Here's a few examples which I sadly won't be buying, and assuming I didn't make any typos. I haven't been following all these, so some may not be such great deals:

Tatanka 162.99 - 20 = 142.99
K-2 for 213.99 - 20 =193.99
Slysz Bowie 274.99 - 35 = 239.99
Domino 172.99 - 20 = 152.99
Dice 164.99 -20 = 144.99
Techno 175.99 - 20 = 144.99
Kiwi 4 106.99 -10 = 96.99
Air 127.99 -10 =117.99
Enough Salt 97.99 -10 =87.99
Aqua Salt 100.99 -10 = 90.99

^^ Thanks for posting this!

I was able to talk my wife into getting me a GB for graduation. I wanted to score one before they were all gone for good and was able to get one for 127.00

Starmate $140 at massdrop

As others have pointed out (not sure which thread), Starmate is now at $135 (plus s/h) on MD. Has anyone gotten one recently to know if the quality issues had been resolved? Specifically I'm referring to the rounding of the G10 or the unfinished ricasso area?

A very interesting knife to me (cross of a Millie and a GB), that I'm only interested in at this lower price point, but I am afraid that if the earlier quality issues still exist, I may be disappointed.

There was a recent thread a couple of months ago somewhat discussing this and it showed and talked about a few new examples that were very nice looking.
If I weren't spread so thin right now (just spent $$ on HAP40 and Air) and didn't already have an original Starmate, I'd definitely be getting one of those from massdrop right now. I can only hope they have that offer again.



By the way, sports authority site still has 20% off with "cyberweek" code.

I have two. One is about 2 years old and the other is about 1 month old. Both are superlative examples of a stout, do-it-all knife. I love how rock solid and extremely smooth the Starmate is. It's one of my very favorite Spydercos.

In my opinion, it occupies the same niche as the Umnumzaan. I actually like the Starmate better because it's easier to deploy when the pivot is tightened up and there's no wicked thumb stud to snag my fingernail when I reach into my pocket. I sold one of my Umnums when I bought the second Starmate.

Thanks JimmyJohnJohn, that is very helpful. Looks like I have 1 more day to make a decision. Appreciate the comments.
