My last two orders from the factory seconds landed. Paysan has minor lock stick, very happy with it for the price. Thank you Spyderco team!

Last picture of the 2023 online Seconds haul.

That is a crazy haul, awesome you could order.

Looks like you got a Byrd in a mystery box?

Well, our boxes came today! Super stoked with what we got.

I got a green para 3 in 20cv (KnifeJoy Exclusive) and a Lil'Native in CruWear (allegedly a knifecenter exclusive). Husband got the St Nick's Military, the 15V Shaman, and a Byrd Harrier 2 (I think).
This was so much fun, I got one more Shaman inbound but thanks so much for a fun sale Spyderco!

That Manix XL 4V is awesome, one of the ones I wish I had gotten. Only problem is you can’t buy them all.

Definitely know the feeling haha. I love Manixs. I was looking for the jade M4 xl but then this one came up. Managed to find the jade scale separately though so I can pretend lol. Going to throw them on with glowing backspacer and lanyard plug with a tritium button here pretty soon I think. But I keep putting it off becusse the red and black looks so dvmn good the way it is

UKPK and Waterway showed up. Extremely happy with both and they came with a nice sharp edge.

UKPK - only possible reason for being a second could be a little rough milling on the inside of the backspring. Affects nothing with the knife and have to really look for it to notice it. Looking forward to using s110v.

Waterway - only “flaw” is on the scales where the tool did a 1-2 mm over travel while cutting out the boundary of the texture.

Received my two yesterday evening. All black Military has the tiniest edge nick about an inch from the tip of the blade. First sharpening and it will be gone. The Massad Ayoob SE for sure has the "snaggletooth". I don't mind and it cuts like crazy, and I mean sharp. Other than mentioned no other issues that I can find. 79.00 for a 252.00 Blacked out Military is a score!

ETA: Ah, sorry about that! Didn’t know I couldn’t do that here.

Howdy folks. My second gift box contained a fat carbon PM2 with M4 blade and a Phil Wilson fixed blade. The fixed blade is in the kitchen being used already by my darling wife. I also bought a PM2 camo, a UKPK in s110v and a Native slipit. All in all I am very satisfied and am thankful for this online sale. One knife I am coming to really like is the UKPK. I can see why it is so popular overseas. It is small and light with a substantial blade and a great steel, and the way it functions is superb compared to my old Boy Scout knife I used when I was young. ( I managed to slam the blade onto the back of my fingers a few times with that old clunker.) No chance of that with the UKPK.

Got a surprise today! Someone else was shopping seconds sale for me! 2&3 mystery boxes

S90v Teal PM2
DLC Manix2 CQI
15v Shaman smooth G10
Cruwear Manix2 XL
S30v UKPK red g10

I’m a lucky man!!!

^^^Huge Score^^^

Got my 2 knife mystery box. Not gonna lie, a little disappointed compared to what other people have been getting haha. My box had:
- Pink Knifejoy Lil Native in S45VN
- Para 3 LW in BD1N.
So nothing super exciting, but oh well. Still lucky to have even gotten one especially for the price.

Definitely happy with the other seconds I was able to grab which include:
- Yojumbo Sprint with CF scales and S90V steel,
- Millie in S30V
- Sage 1 in Maxamet
Can't find what the defect was on the Yojumbo other than mayyybe some slightly off patterning on the scales? Can't find anything obviously wrong on the Millie after looking at it in detail. The Sage 1 had a couple dings on the scales and the plunge line near the spine was ground tapered instead of a 90 degree. Excellent factory edges on all. Can't complain about these ones.

My first Spyderco seconds sale knives came in today.
Manix 2 LW in Maxemet
Native 5 LW in Maxemet
Masaad Ayoob SPyder edge in Cruwear

After close to 3 hrs, countless refreshes, and numerous time-outs, my order got through!

I believe the key to staying calm during this most unusual drop was accepting that I wouldn’t get anything. I had work to do but I kept refreshing and re-adding, re-submitting, and even started over a few times throughout the day.

This is my first time with Maxemet on two of my favorite knives. And although it's a strange-looking knife, I had to try an Ayoob at this price. Holding it feels perfect and it seems to become an extension of my hand.

I’m, glad I didn’t give up.

Apparently neither is it allowed on Spyderco.com during a seconds sale.

Awww snap… had to make a joke hopefully for some laughs. Working my way through the stages of grief.

As a system administrator for a number of years and prior web hosting business owner, it pains me to see so many negative comments.

I do not really want to get involved but as a guy on a REALLY strict budget I avoid 99% of the sprint runs and special offers...it's all about the benjamins and the mad rush to get the product. I just choose not to fight it.

Almost all of you would be surprised that it does not take that many people hitting RELOAD to overwhelm a website. Spyderco is not likely to lease bandwidth costing many tens of thousands of dollars for a one day seconds sale.

Come on folks lighten up.

Seen a few great 2-knife boxes on YouTube. Last one was a Manix XL 4V and a S90V Yojimbo. Now that’s a gift from Spyderco.

Now that is how you vent. With some light hearted humor. No harm in that. We have to laugh at ourselves and poke just a little bit. That's how we bond.
