Spyderco Forums

FYI -- just got my 3 Nav II PEs from the Brown Man. All three are perfect, as were the two I got earlier from STP. FWIW, all are dated "CG" (March 2007), as was the Vagabond I also received.

I think the Vagabond will be seeing a lot of use in the kitchen. The built-in blade guard is practical and ingenious.

I got my PE and SE yesterday. I was very surprised how small the Navigators are. They look awsome and feel great. I was not sure how I would like them, because I've never handled the stainless handles. But I really like them. I have no concern about maintaining a secure grip.

The bad thing is the SE had a defect. I'm not sure if it's a spring or the lock, or something else. The blade was EXTREMELY difficult to open after the first half centimeter or so. It was so stiff the lock did not want to engage. Even when it did engage, it did not always pop up all the way. Also, the blade would not stay in the closed position. It would swing open that first half a centimeter or so, which exposed the tip.

I called STP yesterday evening and asked if they could exchange it. The woman gave me no hassles at all. She said a new one would be shipped out, and for me to ship the defective one with the return label that was in the box. I got the email that said the new one was shipped this morning, before I even shipped back the defective one.

I'm disappointed that I have to wait a couple more days. But overall I'm very impressed with the Navigator, and very impressed with STP--both with their prices and customer service. Although I should reserve final opinion until I get the new SE in hand...

I got my blue Yojimbo and CF Harpy from STP. But the real score was the Bill's Khakis pants. I got nine pair. I'll never have to buy pants again. These are the best pants ever. Later,

They did it again.
see Scorpius, Kiwi, Ocelot..........
By the way do not forget to google for coupons
good luck hunting

I wish I never saw this thread.
*green with envy*

Does not look like super deals as of yet... They can get get better in some time. I would keep watching.

I do not think that they can go any lower than 50% off, plus you can google some additional saving. Two more guys from my work bought their first :spyder: today. :)

May be. :)
I remember them having Persian for $62.50, Dodo for $49.95 and few others really wild deals
Two of my friends got Scorpius PE today for $37.50 (50% off + they found 25% off coupon), which is not bad at all :)

I predict that SOMEBODY (not me) will get a surprising deal on a black ATR this morning. :)

Great deal on that ATR. Where are the coupons?

I noticed that they have the SS Byrd Finch at 7.95.

I am way late to this thread but international = extra risk/problems with minimal gain for a deep discounter.

Not to dis you bro but international makes you a riskier customer to a retail dealer. Extea costs with minimal gain.

The current century has nothing to do with their business decision.

They did it again. Keep in the mind: 20% off coupon is easy to find and if you search hard it would comes with free shipping, but it expired today.

You bumped a thread 3 years old showing discoed Yojimbos for $74?

Please excuse me for a second. I need a small handful of Tylenol...

Um, no, Sierra has new deals on waved Delicas, Enduras, and that nice Black Pearl Microdyad. Thanks for the head's up!

I am more thinking about Forager for $72 shipped

I was scrolling through and also wondering how this could possibly be relevant. Alas it was. thanks again.
