Amazon has the Opus for $120 and Q Ball for $100 available. :)

I see neither in stock. Weird.

It ships from Amazon so you have some protection, but I would verify the authenticity of these knives. I also live in the photography world and have seen this seller(photos4less) mentioned more than a few times as selling grey market Canon cameras as new.

I think for the sake of the thread, we should avoid posting ebay auctions. Buy it now listings are one thing but actual auctions are not guaranteed to sell for the price posted. Also, it is hard to verify if the user posting the link is not the seller on ebay. (Not blaming you for this, I'm saying it's a possibility)

Dvor has lots of knives on sale again, including several Spydercos. Just a taste: Spyopera for 139.99, Caribbean SE SF 145.00.

I usually only share buy it now links but this was the only se yellow pac1 I came across when I looked. Saw a PE one at knifeworks I think it was.

I do buy and sell on ebay but I don't link my account on any forums, including this one.

I'd steer clear of Dvor (OpticsPlanet). I was on here a few weeks back singing the praises of their "deals," but after getting burned on a Military I ordered that turned out to be an obviously FAKE (and used-looking) PM2 clone, I'm done with them. I'm sure it wasn't intentional on their part (likely some idiot returning a fake), but dealing with them to get a refund while trying to express to them that they sent me a fake Spyderco has been a hassle and I have little faith that the counterfeit won't be placed right back into their sales rotation for some other unlucky b@stard to scoop up.. and this just the latest in a list of interactions with them that have rubbed me the wrong way over the years. I suppose your experiences may be different, but I'm done with them.. buyer beware, as they say.. :o

OpticsPlanet's CS has taken a very sharp turn for the worse since this whole pandemic thing kicked off. They were always slow to fulfill/ship and to respond to emails, but at this point you're lucky if they reply at all.

I checked them out but quickly left.

I didn't see a way to sort knives by price etc.

I didn't see a way to browse specific brands.

I have to sign up to see their prices.

I've had good luck with them so far in sales & support. Being part of Optics Planet makes them a second tier vendor, IMO. Patience is a key with them as they do not meet the instant gratification standards of 21 century online shopping. In all things YMMV & Caveat Emptor.
The requirement to join allows them to sell below MAP for many vendors. No free lunch and all that...

Weird. I had quick shipping and good tracking info from them. Shipping this month is also all jacked up, so hard to say. I'd contact them.

I gotmy Pacific Salt SE a while ago. Their shipping speed was as fast as I usually get, 3-5 days.

Does it say they're at a processing center or never made it to the shipper?

I’m glad I saw this post- I’ve been thinking of placing an order with them but had some reservations. I think I’ll stick to some of my other sources. Thanks.

Can we stick with deals please? If you've got dealer specific issues, or a specific knife you're looking for, it would serve everyone best if that was a dedicated post.
So many knives, so few pockets... :)
