Yeah :) M4 Tenacious for €150 is a great deal. Gayle Bradley 2 for €200 is maybe even better value. Good thing I'm broke atm, so no dilemma :D
Oh, man. If I could order a second GB2 M4 for 200, I would ! :winking-tongue
:respect In the collection :respect : Lots of different steels, in lots of different (and same) Spydercos.

Yes, it's been 2 or 3 years of decline for K&T, back then it offered the best prices on many brands, sadly.
Yeah, they were always cheaper than lamnia, now their Spyderco prices are insane on some models. And their occasional deals are a joke, mostly chinese budget folders to clear out the inventory.

I ordered the K390 wharnie delica from knifestock a few weeks ago, all went well, good shop. Lamnia is nice too.

Still available... very tempting indeed... :grimace
"Luckily" (I DON`T NEED another Spydie right now! ;) ) there is no Austrian version of the page, and not even the German page will ship to me here.

EDIT: The linked site almost certainly is a scam!!

Folks, I just stumbled across this site (link below, Spydercos listed) - not sure what to think, though it smells "fishy" in way...

https://www.rabatttaschenmesser.com/pag ... pe=product

Most Spydie prices are reduced, but to a usual / reasonable amount.
But then there are some too good to believe:
Spydiechef €91.99, Smock €99.99, S90V Siren €90.99, Spyopera damaststell sprint €98.99, Native 5 Maxamet 89.99...

I am actually rather suspicious.
They list a real German adress, but it can´t be found in google maps.
They have a contact form, but no phone number

What do you think? Rather a scam - thing, right?!

(Edit to add: I am not even interested in (getting) any of the above listed very reduced Spydies - just curious what you all think)

The fact that nothing seems to be over €100 screams “red flag” to me.
God. If only these prices are the actual prices of Spydies in Europe.

Oh wow, yes that looks too good to be true. Maybe they are selling counterfeits, some blade hq exlusives are also listed for ridiculous low prices (Böker autos). And they are hoping that most people don’t know the difference.

Looks like a scam. No proper Impressum with tax info or trade register entry... I wouldn't order anything there.

The unrealistically low prices + a German fake address on Helgoland (= island) + company headquarters in Alabama + content of the data protection declaration + a few more details that I waste my time with, only lead me to one conclusion:
stay away! :zany (besser Finger weg Gernot)

Yes, it has to be a scam (edited my previous post to highlight that).

I had no intention to buy there anyway - the super low priced options are not models I am interested in, and I strongly tend to stick with my trusted official and good dealers anyway (the usual Lamnia, Knivesandtools, Coutellerie Tourangelle, com2you-biwak...).

Just thought it would fit this thread, but now I almost regret bringing that "shop" up - though perhaps that was a good thing in the end, cause people are warned now!

Not sure whether this is a good deal or not, but Lamnia just got a few Jumpmaster 2 knives in stock - something that has not happened in a very long time:

I received one on Sunday that I’d had on pre-order for an eternity. I’ve been using the snot out of it at work this week to get a feel for it and it is fantastic. Really fantastic. So good in fact that I’ve actually stopped carrying my other knives 🤯

Since I posted this in another thread, I might as well here too:

Not a "crazy good deal" (or is it?), but appearantly an option to PRE-order a Catcherman-sprint for those who want one

https://www.com2you-biwak.de/Spyderco-C ... NT-23.html

! I have no experience concerning preordering there, but purchased several Spydies from them.
Perhaps a bit higher prices sometimes ,but other than that only good experiences so far.
