It was less couple days ago. I paid $115 with MSRP $260.RamZar wrote:Some are the newly discontinued items and others slow selling. Since Spyderco's MAP enforcement (40% off MSRP) kicks in on 1.1.2016 I thought I'd list some Spydercos currently at 50% or more off MSRP while they last. Of course, there are many other Spydercos which you can currently get for 40.1% to 49.9% off MSRP.

Some good points there and I too got a Stretch 2 ZDP-189 Brown G-10.The Deacon wrote:More often than not, I agree with Jack. This is one of the instances where I do not.

This thread is already skating on the edge of being spam, and that would push it over for certain.
It's generally considered bad form to post deals at a single dealer as it tends to make folks suspect the OP has some connection to that dealer and is advertising for them, which is against the rules. On the other hand, there's a thread called "Crazy deals @ Sierra and other places" that's been running here since 2007, runs for 27 pages, and was last posted to just a few days ago. Heck, more than a few posts in that one do have links, (although I'd question whether someone too lazy to do a bit of digging once pointed in the right direction deserves a bargain). My point though, is that if there was a policy against sharing information about bargains when it's obvious the OP will not profit from them, that one would have been closed years ago.
Oh, and thanks, I took advantage of CS's price to order another Stretch 2. :o :D
At least a double-edged blade indeed! :)dogrunner wrote:I can't decide whether this thread is a big PSA (public service announcement) [thanks Ramzar :)]

Seems like my error. Caly 3 ZDP/CF is 56% off MSRP at Knife Center ($114.95 shipped).bh49 wrote:It was less couple days ago.

Man are you going to be glad you snagged that Bowie, been fondling mine the last couple days and am still amazed at the F&F on this one. The transition between the brass bolster and CF is simply perfect, hard to believe its a production knife. Also love how it fits my hand, there's just something special about Schempps designs.RamZar wrote:The past 24 hours I've bought two Spydercos that I absolutely would not have but did due to the 50%+ discounts: Stretch ZDP/G-10 and Schempp Bowie! It's a win for everybody.
Agree entirely with the part about forcing logging in before getting the total price. Wish that price would show as soon as you view your cart. FWIW... I believe National's normal (likely 1st class) shipping is $3.99 and Priority Mail is $5.99. I sprung for Priority when I got my S110V PM2 from them back in Sept. :cool:DougC-3 wrote:As I mentioned last night in the Cyber Monday thread, National Knives has the Stretch 2 for only $165, 10 bucks less than half off. But IIRC they may have a small S&H charge. I tried to log in and see, but got into one of those situations where they won't let you log in because your email address is already being used by someone... you. I hate when that happens. Also I'm very un-fond of people forcing you to log in and go through the entire purchase procedure including address, credit card, etc, before they'll tell you the shipping charges. But other than that, I've had several pleasant transactions with them, won two bug sets, and enjoy the smiley faces Roger draws on the invoices.
Ahhhh, I missed that thanks. I like the new Starmate much better, much smoother lines, thanks for the heads up!Mad Mac wrote:The "new and improved" Starmate appears on the Spyderco website,
but is not included in the recently released 2016 catalog.
So, I guess it is to be discontinued.
Not sure if that has any significance. Just throwing it in.
