Heard of em?
Bought from em?
Legit?
Good/Bad?

I see good and bad reviews but not too many of either. Site looks a little sketchy but doesn't stop the curiosity. Always on the lookout for a good vendor.

If this belongs in off-topic I'm sorry in advance they do sell a large selection of Spyderco knives however. An hopefully they are a legit vendor... that's kinda what I'm looking to find out.

Another silly question. Is it odd and suspect for a hard to find knifes stock level to increase by one in the last couple days.

Hard to say, but given their huge selection, and the fact that Google maps street view shows their physical address to be a semi-rural residential area, I'd pass. I suspect they're either a drop shipment "front" for a distributor, or something even more questionable.

I didn't see an address, but if that's true then that's a great point. Probably not stocking and floating 10's of thousands of dollars in inventory out of your garage. Especially not without a well known well established web presence to back it up.

They are good. I have purchased from them, both current Spyderco knives and three old stock Spyderco boxed Solo button lock knives.

I had a reason to call them about one order and they were polite and responsive.

My last purchase was in 2010.
