Could anybody help me to trace a NIB Spyderco Spyderfly ? It's a pity I missed the chance to get that knife and I miss balisong flipping alot.
Are they still traceable in reasonable price or should I totally forget about the idea, because it's impossible ?
I would love to find spyderfly in some store which have international shipping, maybe someone could help ?

Every God's critters have knives.
I'm unclear about the legality of their sales but they seem to pop up for sale on eBay quite frequently.

eBay is your best bet by far. I had my first fly stolen (it was a VG-10 version too... if I weren't so macho I would have wept :-P), and I managed to find a new one there. Albeit, NOT a VG-10 version, but NIB. Those who still have those seem reluctant to give them up. I can definitely appreciate the compulsion to have a bali though. If I didn't have my BM (nobody hurt me... they make good balis) and my Bradley I would have had a nervous breakdown.
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.

Er... sorry bout that, been absent from the forums for a while, my apologies. Should have reintroduced myself to the regs.

As most members of this forum will recall, Spyderco had to forfeit a bunch of butterfly knives to ICE in 2007; they were estimated to be worth around $400,000. I don't know what ICE did with all those knives. Maybe they melted them down, gave them as gifts, or simply threw them away.tonydahose wrote:what exactly did you mean by the dumpster remark?
To give tomahawk23 the benefit of the doubt, I assumed that his post was referring to this but I could be wrong. :o

Benefit of the doubt? OJ is more deserving.

Restricted forum
Mark has a point in that this thread probably should have been over in the "Restricted Items" area. Since the OP is in a foreign nation and there are not export regulations/laws I am aware of which would keep a Spyderco dealer/distributor from shipping to his nation, and since Jordan is a 13 Bravo in the U.S. Army (how is Fort Bliss these days?) and is able to purchase 'flys and autos, this is actually a pretty tame thread when it comes to the "restricted" stuff.markg wrote:Friendly reminder...
Discussions on obtaining "restricted items" are to be avoided, per Spyderco Forum rules. Spyderco considers (for their own sake) bali's to be included in this destination. :)

I was referring to this post btw... missed quoting it.PSU wrote:As most members of this forum will recall, Spyderco had to forfeit a bunch of butterfly knives to ICE in 2007; they were estimated to be worth around $400,000.
