I’m struggling with the siren. It’s such a good deal but everything is a good deal.

I really want to get the Drunken but the clip is holding me back. Anyone know of an aftermarket clip for it?

I have to say, I feel like a bit of chump having paid MAP this year. Just about everything I bought is still available and at a greatly reduced price. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯


I just paid real close to MSRP for an Autonomy 2 a month and a half ago. Had I known this was coming...

That really is a great price on that! Are you going to switch up the clip, or take a chance with it as is?

I need help. This is too much.

Do I get a GB2 or a SpyOpera? I love the design of both. But I'd need to mod the GB2 because I hate carbon fiber, so would buy or make alternative scales for it.

One is cheaper, and simpler, and I very much want it. But for some reason that doesn't just win the day. I've wanted a GB2 for a long time, but have been held back by overall price, objections to design ppl have, and extra price of scales. This would be the time? But the SpyOpera is *$123!!!

This is literally impossible for my brain. I'm a deer in the headlights of OOS and deal deadlines.

I have both and they are so far apart in use, that you would need to clearly define your actual needs. The Opera is a gentleman's folder and the GB2 is hard use working knife. One is an Acura, the other a Ford F250. Which would you use the most?

Thanks for posting the KSF deals. Picked up a couple teal wharncliffe Delicas (one for me to try a wharnie, one for the wife) and a K390 straight spine Stretch 2.

Looking for my first PM2. Thinking hard about the Spyderco Paramilitary 2 Tan G-10 - Black CPM 20CV Blade from DLT for $175. But the knife center has Paramilitary 2 S45VN Black Blade, and Black G10 Handles for $148. What is the best deal out there today?

I left it in my cart for hours, hoping someone would stop me by buying before I actually checked out but you all failed me. Cruwear Yojimbo on its way.

Let's end the MAP madness. The deals today are what it should be like all the time.

Nice! It was a tossup between those exact two knives or a backup Watu and an Ikuchi for me. I went with the Taichung duo hoping that I might still be able to get a deal on the K390 knives later on. It is my first experience with KSF, at what point in the purchase process does KnivesShipFree apply rewards points to your acct?

Ok, that is it, no more knives for a while, I promise. No really! :')

Hm, good point and good question. I guess the thing is, I have enough knives that any real *needs* are covered already. I have a BK9. I have several species of pm 2/3. I have a native 5 m4, strech2 zdp, wolfspyder, df2, a metric ton of classic Camillus knives, civivis, excellent axes, good tools. I don't exactly need either, but both would be used well and find plenty of time in my pocket.

One question I guess is, the spyopera *looks* like a small knife, which is what I'd want from it, but it's apparently native 5 sized? Is it smaller in hand than that suggests? Bc if it's more truly medium than small, I'll go with the GB2 I think.

You will have absolutely no regrets at that price. The edge and tip on those are absolutely wicked. My s90v Yo 2 slices effortlessly and Cruwear should take an even finer edge than it does.
