I recall looking at one in a local knife store in Cary NC. In the crowded glass case, as the owner was putting the knife back after showing it to me it sucked up, and held a Nav 2 as he squeezed it by. I thought it was amusing, but didn't buy the knife then for numerous reasons.
I did now. It's too good a price to pass up.
I recall other now classics not selling, and seeming to be around forever. Now, they are highly sought after.
In 10 years there will be a guy that starts a forum petition to bring the T-Mag back as a sprint as the now rare knife is highly sought after by collectors. :) Joe

....and 2 on the way to Germany :)
- S30V blade.
- Carbon fiber scales.
- Full Titan liners.
- Unique "locking" design. (well, non-locking, thus legal carry in Germany, not that thats important to me, my EDC'd H1 Mariner locks like a vault :D , but you get my drift)
- The ONLY knife that lasted only 6 months until it got disco'd :o (only a "plus" for collectors though...poor Sal
)
How could you NOT buy one for 50 bucks?

PS: I'd LOVE to know how this price came off (most likely below prime cost).... I imagine Sal standing in front of a shelf full of unloved and unbought T-Mags, thinking: "I just DON'T want to see these boxes any longer!! Enough is enough. We need the space."

Thanks to y'all at Spyderco, this is a steal. Really looking forward to trying this one out, I expect it to be a fun little knife. And thanks to cobrajoe for telling me about another knife to spend money on.

Went the gun show today and a older guy vendor was trying to sell a Tmag for 200.00, i told him that they are on sale here at Spyderco for 50.00 bucks and he should snag alot of them for resell, he didnt believe me and gave me this look like i didnt know what i was talking about, funny when you try to help someone and they take it as youre insulting them.
i ended up going back and convincing him to check it out he was very thankful after

I've been reading about the complaints of the weak lock, but there may be a silver lining.
Years ago, I had a Delica replaced because the lock had become so worn, you could close the blade with a little finger pressure.
With the T-mag, there isn't any metal to metal friction like a traditional lock, so in theory, you should never have to worry about wearing it out.
Ok, maybe I'm wrong, but I'm trying to make myself feel better about buying another knife I really didn't need. :)
