Spyderco Forums

Hope they don't oversell them like other retailers.

Shout-out to BIGSTRETCH for the alert that St. Nick's had some in stock.

I must have been a good boy this year. Old St. Nick came through.

One of my favorite retailers too! :)

Me too! I've been fortunate enough to score 6 of their 4v exclusives. The Jester on my keys might be my most used/beaten Spyderco!

Sweeet. 4v surpassed M4 as my favorite steel, so naturally they have my favorite exclusives. I’ve been lucky enough to get in on the original Para 3 drop and the most recent Manix XL. The others would be awesome but life stuff saw to a big lapse in my collecting. We’ll see how 15v sharpens up in comparison.

St. Nicks really is top notch and no taxes where I am. I’d be surprised if they oversold, they seem to run a well oiled machine.

St. Nick's already has a shipping label made for mine!

Ditto! Gonna be hard to save this one for Christmas…

kennbr34 had a nice write up and links to a stock alert app a few posts back. I’m stuck using mobile ios most of the day and not so tech inclined for that script stuff, so I’ll share what I used…

A free app called WebWatch. Got it in the App store on my iphone. It is not automated like his recommended program but allows for a 1 button refresh and alert on as many knife retail pages as you can find. Works with most websites. Only a couple (bladeops and knifeworks) give off frequent false alerts. Limit the refreshes to no more than 1 within 5-10 min so you don’t get kicked from the website’s server.

When I checked the app, it said St. Nicks updated a stock of 30 total knives for those who are wondering.

Good luck if you are continuing the hunt. As you see, the drops are getting bigger now so fret not.

Looks like some additional shipments were made if St. Nicks indeed had 30. How long did it take for them to sell out?

I signed up for notifications from them but didn't get the email. Got the BHQ one, bit was too late.

The level of retailer camping on this drop is wild to me.

I believe St. Nicks sold out in 15-20 mins. I got a bhq alert too but nothing was there. Perhaps a cancelled order or very small restock.

15-20 min isn't terrible. Still gives some hope that we can all catch one of the larger inventory drops.

New here but does anyone know if any of these BBB 15v knives will come in a DLC blade?

Gpknives has the shipment notice, said it should be this week, good luck everyone

Knives Ship Free had some, very briefly. I had one in my cart but the knife went OOS again, by the time I entered payment info and tried to check out. This sure is “fun”.

Yea same here. I got the email. IMMEDIATELY went as fast as possible and it was sold out.

Does ANYONE know where still hasn’t sold out? I had it in my cart when bhq dropped them and as I’m checking out the page reloaded and bam sold out

The first batches that get sold seem to be a batch of 5 knives per dealer. Literally: Spyderco sends just 5 of these knives to dealers. It is in and out of stock as soon as it is posted up.

I'm hoping that the frenzy calms down once good quantity shows up, but I am not counting on that to happen for this knife.

Best bet is to subscribe to the Alert thread that is going for the knife. Do not post in it just let it be a place for links to knives. At that point it is be quick and a little lucky...

I called Spyderco about a possible restock and they said there will not be any more released. That can always change i guess but that seems pretty solid.

The vendor emails are slow. If you are following the ALERT thread here it is likely to be posted there before the vendor email. I had posted that the site was down and probably ready to be available - I assume there were a few people refreshing that page and instantly bought when they were posted.... probably before the email alert.

There are some great tips above with people sharing tools that track webpages - those are also likely faster than vendor emails.

What was the context of your question? Sprint Runs by definition only get produced and released once. We're you asking if the SFO would get any more knives?

So I called Spyderco asking if there were going to have more on their website. Like the Siren Sprint that sold out on the spyderco website and then more came up. They said no.
