Red & Black Holiday Sale!

[Mushroom]

Almost entirely sold out in about 10 mins! This years feedback is going to be rough!

Drinking Game:
Everytime someone had their "worst customer experience ever" you drink a shot.

We would be hospitalized already!

The comments on their social media pages are split - it’s either “Thank you, Spyderco” or “F you, Spyderco.”

Think anything will be added, or the fat lady has sung?

Unless you want a Siren, that’s probably all she wrote.

Wasn't able to get in at the start (middle of a work day timing is a bummer) looks like it went fast. I'd have liked to grab a lil native. Is anything else coming???

Smooth no issues, got a Mystery Box for $250 containing at least 2 knives one guaranteed to be an elite Spirit Run. The combined value of all items in the box will equal or exceed the price of the box. Hope so because the 15v Shamans were $105 in store so that would be $145 for another second non spirit knife. Last sale the $250 box had at least 3 knives for reference.

It sounds like you're talking yourself into your purchase, post-sale. Don't worry, whatever you get, you can decide to want. That's the great thing about humans!!

There was no way I was not ordering right away. But yes $250 is a lot for probably two unknown second knives on the face of it. I mean a first run Manix 2 Rex 45 sprit drop was $160 or so... I don't think there is any other company in the world I would trust enough to drop that much money on an unknown box of non-returnable, did not pass quality inspection and no warranty products.

It's Spyderco, I have never been disappointed in the company they can have my $250 and I know I will be happy.

Totally agree. You know spyderco will do you right.

... I know I will be happy.

See? That's all you have to tell yourself.

They listened and they fixed the issues from the last sale. That’s all we can ask. Site was awesome I didn’t buy anything but could have. I sincerely hope everyone is blown away by what they get.

[Pokey]

Site worked great! Wish there had been some salts there though .

Keep checking back. I'll bet they replenish the supply.

[Bolster]

Relax. Anything that anybody wanted but missed, will be available on eBay by tomorrow, as buyers flip their purchases.

[dullmaker]

Great job Sal and crew! Thanks for doing the right thing as usual!
Went so smooth you might want to do this once a month!

[Agreycat]

The site was smooth as glass. I tried for a manix but was too slow. I wasted time staring at the screen waiting for more knives to pop up like the last sale. I had the manix in my cart, but by the time I hit submit...sold out. I'm ok with that. The whole experience was so much better...so much...less stressful than the last sale. (I did score 3 knives in the last sale)

I do kind of feel bad for the sad-looking Siren(s)...

[dullmaker]

We taking bets on if and when the siren will be sold? I wonder if I was the only one who bought it? I thought the only version made was the sprint. Still fun.

[Laphroaig9]

Was there a timeout in the CART?

I placed 3 separate knives in the CART -- and I wasn't greedy. Only one knife per version.

And as I went back to look to see if any new inventory to appear, my CART emptied out within 5 minutes.

Did anyone know about a TIMEOUT?

Thanks,
Michael

I got a Siren. Been on my wish list for a while.

I don't think there was any sort of timeout. If the stock went to zero then it removed it from your cart. Just because you had it in your cart doesn't give you any sort of 'time', until you checkout.

I ate one of those for breakfast

It's funny, I was browsing Spyderco.com less than an hour ago when webpages stopped loading and only now came back. It appears that not all of that seconds sale traffic was correctly directed to the new website haha

It sounds like typical "not yours until you check out" system. Just putting it in your cart doesn't take it out of inventory. While you were looking around, others were checking out.

Those are the regular LC200N Sirens. I think I saw about 5 full trays of them at the in-person sale. It might take a while to unload them.

[SchoonerBum]

I picked up another Siren. I’m bummed that it seems to not be selling all that well. It’s a really fantastic knife. I’m still hoping there might be a lightweight magnacut model or another sprint somewhere down the road.

[toml4185]

First one of these for me but it was a very smooth experience.

I bagged a native 5 LW in Maxamet.

Tried for a Para 3 LW afterwards. Alas, I was too slow.
