It seemed a little sketchy, so I submitted a request with the seller to cancel the order almost immediately after I saw their stock drop from 15 to 0 with only 2 sold. Of course, they didn't respond to that until today though. I plan to submit a claim with Ebay and PayPal after it doesn't show up on the tracking ETA.

Re: Where is my Bow River ?
I've bought about 50 spyderco knives from the bay... Never an issue till this one. The seller is an authorized spyderco dealer by the way... Not some rando with no seller history.

Re: Where is my Bow River ?
Who's the seller?
Re: Where is my Bow River ?
So many authorized dealers to purchase Spydercos but people risk the bay for what, save a few bucks and possibly have an earlier model in hand? Whatever floats your boat. :)
Re: Where is my Bow River ?
Yeah, I’m a huge video game collector and have been on the losing end of a bad transaction like 2/1000’s of eBay transactions. eBay is secure. If you buy something, and end up losing out, it’s likely your own fault.
Edit: I’ve also purchased somewhere around 30 Spyderco knives from eBay, and have had zero problems there.

Re: Where is my Bow River ?
It was from an authorized spyderco dealer and I paid MAP. I didn't save any money. I thought the model was dropping and bought it like I have many times before with no issue. I generally find out through ebay when new models have dropped via alerts. My refund will be on it's way shortly. Zero risk involved. :)

Re: Where is my Bow River ?
There are authorized dealers selling on eBay. National Knives, for example, is one of my preferred dealers, and you can occasionally get better prices from them by using an eBay coupon (rather than ordering off their site). The Fradon 4v Manix was also on eBay, and that one was an exclusive.
Re: Where is my Bow River ?
I've actually bought from them before with no issues. I wouldn't have thought twice about ordering from them via eBay.

Re: Where is my Bow River ?
Still waiting, I submitted my preorder for the Bow River on 6/9/2018. It’s now been over a year.
Can someone from Spyderco chime in and let us know what’s going on with this release please? Sal, Eric somebody please.

Re: Where is my Bow River ?
I had a strange transaction with them once. Bought a couple of Spydercos at half MAP, afterwards it was radio silence for a few days.
I did end up getting them, just took a bit longer than normal. Like he was on vacation or something, idk.

Re: Where is my Bow River ?
Would've enjoyed having this one for summer use... most are guessing that the sheath is the hang up, but we aren’t getting a lot of information from anyone about it..
Re: Where is my Bow River ?
There have been some changes to knife itself. I remember that is had 3 hollow pins and now it has two full pins and two hollow.
I think that simple kydex/boltatron sheath would do the trick, no need for leather.

Re: Where is my Bow River ?
As far as I know, the Bow River was always shown with 3 solid pins and one hollow pin as a kind of lanyard hole. I think what you're calling a 2nd hollow pin is actually the divot they put in the G10. It's not a hollow pin. Have you seen some updated pictures with a different setup?
