Hello,
I have the opportunity to have a Massad Ayoob at great price*:
The problem is that it is not planned in my budget and there are others that I like better for roughly the same price.
Tough dilemma.
In your opinion, I must be cracked or not?
Is this a model that is worth/rare it or not?
Thanks for your help
ps*: I can have it for 100$

There is nothing to think about. You have to get it. $100 for PE Massad in Europe is a super steal.
($100 for PE is US steal as well)

Assuming the other side is in the same condition, and it has its clip, I'd say buy it. At that price it should be very easy to recoup your investment if you decide you don't want/need/like it.

I was going to advise against it, because there is always a deal out there somewhere on something.
That was until I saw the price. That is a great deal on this model. I would say go for it.

In my opinion you would truly be a fool not to get the Massad Ayoob at that price. It wouldn't matter if it was PE or SE either. Both variants are super high in demand.
As you've probably gathered I'm a big fan of Spyders from the Golden Era (1998-2003). I've rang the bell many times calling for the return of an improved, upscaled version of the Massad Ayoob model. It's one of my personal favorites of all time.
If nothing else it is a slam dunk from a collectors, traders, investment standpoint.
Long Live the SPYDEREDGE Spyderco Hawkbills RULE!!
