what's the best deal for a spydie have you guy's gotten either from a seller not knowing what gem they had or a trade that was too good to pass up. Mine would have to be a brass lined lefty co-pilot that I got for $40 from the bay from someone who titled the auction as "spyderco cricket serrated edge"
I was amazed I scored a grail so easily!
best deal youv'e gotten?

Best one recently was snagging a fairly uncommon Q for $125 a few weeks ago that I'd have guessed would end up well over $200. Then another seller put an identical one up a few days later. That one went for under $90. Funny thing is, I can congratulate the person who snagged that one on their good fortune and still think I got a darn good deal.

Chris, a Cairns Brothers Leather was the one I was referring to. Was hoping it was you that nailed the second one. Picked up a GBC blade a few days later and mounted it in a spare handle I had.

A Viele 2 for $30. It was a misprint, or incorrect ad that knifecenter honored anyway just to be decent. Anybody remember that?
I recall getting a new Endura somewhere for about $42 ( E4, about a year back)

Two new Endura 1's without boxes for $18 - titled "2 hunting knives" in Sporting Goods
The Gunting I posted about a while back was $25 - titled "custom made knife"
Just got a LN in box Sage 1 for $74 which I've been EDCing since. - 3 used ones closed in the space of a few hours. I got the best and the cheapest because it closed at 11:30 PM Pacific time.
All on ebay, including shipping.

Our reason is quite satisfied, in 999 cases out of every 1000 of us, if we can find a few arguments that will do to recite in case our credulity is criticized by someone else. Our faith is faith in someone else's faith, and in the greatest matters this is most the case.

That's quite a catch. Only 20% of the first run were lefties.genius5th wrote:Mine would have to be a brass lined lefty co-pilot that I got for $40 from the bay from someone who titled the auction as "spyderco cricket serrated edge"

Probably all the Microtech's I bought in the mid to late 90's.
Spyderco wise? A few scores on the bay, Mules, Swick's, a couple magnetic units from the Co. , 35% plus free shipping from Sierra Trading,
a Black P/E Dodo at a fair price....... That's about it.
Oh, the (2) Future grail S90v Manix 2's I just bought. They are a bargain at on-line prices. Have had one in my pocket all week!
That's the one to watch. :cool:
(Only picked up two of 'em for personal use)
