Interesting, this is the third post I’ve seen. Two on Facebook and one here. Nothing that has completely confirmed though.

Would be great if true. Been wanting to grab some of the recently released stuff but the price increases have given me more pause than in recent years.

I’ve seen multiple shop owners/reps confirm it. I’m thinking it’s legit 👍

April 15. It's the day taxes are due in the USA.

Not sure I get it yet, but I'm curious.
The MAP is the price that everyone else charges?
And everyone else provides free shipping?

Will there be knives for sale that aren't available elsewhere?
Yes? No? Unknown?

MAP = Minimum Advertised Price policy

In this case, Spyderco has currently set their Minimum Advertised Price at 75% of their MSRP. Retailers can not publicly advertise Spyderco’s products for less than that amount.

The exception being these MAP sales. During MAP sales, the MAP policy is not enforced to allow retailers to both advertise and sell Spyderco’s products below the 75% MAP.

The “MAP sales” are good opportunities to save more than 25% off MSRP on Spyderco products.

"MAP Sale" means "No MAP."
Now I get it.
Thanks.
