Yeah ! Where did you read about this sale ? MG2

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

Yes, it is legit.

Stay safe,

Mike

Uncle Sam taketh and Spyderco giveth away.

Fixed it for you

At least you get some value from Spyderco ….. the taxman not so much …

What is an example of typical savings from a MAP priced item?

Infinkc any chance you could get a s90v Caribbean in the works while you're hot.

Good excuse to buy a new Spyderco. I'm in.

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.
