Looks like the SFO is out of stock, just checked EDC forum store (JSBurleys) and John is sold out also, I see them on the bay often, seems they have gone up in price some since they first dropped.

I agree with you BTG the EDC GITD version is a sweet piece, mine is super smooth and has great F&F and glows bright and long with a good charge.

I got real lucky then, picked it up at the seconds sale, they had a table of NIB stuff also on sale...was the most I spent on any single knife that day...but at 110$ ..I should have got a few..Dang!!
Oh man, you definitely should have grabbed a few, I got in on the original drop at the EDC forum, they were $150 and I grabbed two, I carry one of them often. I really wish I would have grabbed the one before that which was the Manix 2, they are very expensive now, if you can find one. They also did a Native but my understanding is that both the Native and Manix 2 had issues with the scales cracking around the screw holes because of the material they used on those first two. They used something different on the XL.
Happy to be part of this great forum and group of down to earth spyderco addicts, Thanks Sal and gang.

good call on both counts! :D

You're really gonna think that Caged Ball Bearing Lock on the Manix 2 is nifty! :cool:

And as for the Military, well, you can't be a true Spyderco aficionado without out owning at least one! :spyder:

Seems the Military is missing in your collection. And, every collection needs one...the standard S30V version is excellent and makes for a fantastic daily use EDC. Good pick.
