Sal, I’m just adding to the din at this point, but I’d say after all this uproar, Spyderco is looking at plenty of additional margin ripe for the taking.
Like they say, scratch where it itches. When a sprint is selling out in minutes or even seconds, that’s a big itch.
Just my 0.02, but I’d wager another ~1200 piece Crucarta sprint (denim? probably doesn’t matter too much) AND a ~2400 piece “double” sprint in K390 and micarta (OD Green?) would have no trouble flying off the shelves.
Great opportunity to capitalize and turn this big win (with residual disappointment as evidenced here in the forum) into an even bigger win.
Jesus wept...
Haha, not to my taste, but look on the bright side: that guy definitely didn't buy this purely to flip it for profit. I say good for him.
At least he made it his, and isn't looking to flip it. Good for that guy, these are the folks that this is made for! While I don't care for his taste, glad to see one that didn't get snatched up by a flipper.
You have a valid point. Couldn't hold back my personal spontaneous reaction thoughSpyderPhreak wrote: ↑Fri Oct 25, 2019 11:11 amAt least he made it his, and isn't looking to flip it.

That's awesome Sal, I forgot that history about the development. It definitely seems like a great product for them. If it makes economic sense for Spyderco, I for one would love if Cruwear became an evergreen option across the line, like S110V. I have to think it would be very well received.
And this is exactly why I love Spyderco, among other reasons. Like putting up with us crazy knife knuts, steel snobs, etc.sal wrote: ↑Fri Oct 25, 2019 11:23 amHi Hank,
We operate on pretty fixed margins. Enough to run our company and take care of our crew. We'll make less on some makers because their prices are very high, but we don't generally raise prices on a hot item. We feel that "to charge as much as the market will bare" is biting the hand that feeds you.
