Looks like the SFO is out of stock, just checked EDC forum store (JSBurleys) and John is sold out also, I see them on the bay often, seems they have gone up in price some since they first dropped.

I agree with you BTG the EDC GITD version is a sweet piece, mine is super smooth and has great F&F and glows bright and long with a good charge.

I got real lucky then, picked it up at the seconds sale, they had a table of NIB stuff also on sale...was the most I spent on any single knife that day...but at 110$ ..I should have got a few..Dang!!

Oh man, you definitely should have grabbed a few, I got in on the original drop at the EDC forum, they were $150 and I grabbed two, I carry one of them often. I really wish I would have grabbed the one before that which was the Manix 2, they are very expensive now, if you can find one. They also did a Native but my understanding is that both the Native and Manix 2 had issues with the scales cracking around the screw holes because of the material they used on those first two. They used something different on the XL.

Ok - it should be out any minute now.
I just ordered a Manix 2 XL .

Couldn't help myself - ordered a Military too

good call on both counts! :D

You're really gonna think that Caged Ball Bearing Lock on the Manix 2 is nifty! :cool:

And as for the Military, well, you can't be a true Spyderco aficionado without out owning at least one! :spyder:

Seems the Military is missing in your collection. And, every collection needs one...the standard S30V version is excellent and makes for a fantastic daily use EDC. Good pick.

Thanks- looking forward to them :)
