Thanks for this. Picking one up now. Nearly $80 off the price they've been for a year or more.

Okay at 89 with free shipping I had no choice in the matter. Wow what a deal. Anyone remember what the regular price was so that I can argue my decision with my wife a little better?

Good choice! :spyder: And, I'm pretty sure it was $167, but I could just be confusing it with the CF model.

I couldn't resist as well.
Couldn't decide for a while on which one to get. Orange is a great color, but for only $10 more I could get CF :rolleyes:
Finally I pulled the trigger

Kind of sad to see (but almost relieved) that all the Southforks seems to be sold out at the sale prices.


I did get an orange Positron! Thanks for the heads up here!
Might be a gift for the holidays to someone. :)
Going back to Caly.

I just ordered the CF S30V version of the Positron. Seems all of the discontinued Spydies are on sale:

Hard to say how collectable either version will become but, since it's a dealer exclusive, I would have to think the orange one would be the better choice.

Positron is custom collaboration, so the model has a good potential to became collectible. But this is totally different question, if any of these two will became "hot" and will raise in price a lot.
Still considering how they priced at this point, it is a steal. Buy it, use it, enjoy it.

I don't really purchase these with any expectation of selling later, but The Positron is beautiful and I've been meaning to see what a :spyder: flipper would be like. I've kept my budget a bit low and haven't bought anything but bargain basement stuff for a while (mostly sub-$30 offerings by byrd and other makers), but with the positron breaking below 100 bucks, I think that could be a perfect gentleman's folder for me. I hear it's kind of wide, which I dig (I loved the handle on the Native 3 - maybe not the best choice on all occasions, but slimness is rarely an important quality for me).

Agree the orange S35VN is more likely to pick up collector value, but I use everything I buy so that's not a major concern for me. I'm torn between the discreet elegant CF and the flashy (and easy to find in the woods) orange G10. I don't have anything in S35VN yet but the idea of a slightly easier-to-sharpen and less chippy S30v sounds pretty nifty.
