Doing my usual browsing of ebay for Spydercos and went to the "recently added" list. Saw a Perrin Street Bowie with factory sheath(no tek-lok) and a custom leather sheath for 45$ buy it now...

I blink a few times and looked again... Read the description and everything looks right... Includes knife and both sheaths... Something has to be missing...


One more quick read and check of the picture and I have a Perrin Street Bowie coming in the mail for 45$.


Not bad eh?



Gotta love ebay!


Edit: Its here!!!!

(A few very small scratches. Tip is perfect and edge is 99% “intact&#8221 ;)

(The very nice gentleman who I bought the Bowie from was kind enough to even include a gift! It’s a CRKT Michael Walker “BladeLock”. I believe this is the first model from 2001)

(I am told that the circular washer looking “thing” is actually a earth magnet to help retain the blade when in sheath)

Going to make a call to the SFO and get myself a gclip or small tek-lok... Maybe both.
Oh, and probably a shirt and matching beanie. :D

That was you? AHHHH. I emailed the guy selling that knife to ask a few questions and by the time he responded the knife was gone. Can I digitally slap you now? :) congrats. You beat me by 10 min.

Haha, sorry buddy...

I was going to leave it and see if it was still there by the time I got back home from work..


Then I looked back, and said "WTH, let me get it, too good to pass up"


Next time I see one, I will wait for you to snag it :p

Dude, knice grab. I've made a habit of searching "Spyderco" on eBay under "Newly Listed."

Speaking of unreal deals, I'm still losing sleep/in shock over the member who found a blue g-10 Manix 2 NIB in a gun shop in Middle of Nowhere, North Dakota and bought it for a price so good that it almost made me faint.
