    Tell me this is not a good deal

    While picking up my Walker yesterday, my dealer guided me to their stock clearance room. I live in South Africa, but if i use the current exchange rate i paid $123 for these knives.

    The Police is in bad shape, the tip is broken and it looks like its been sharpened with a grinder, but i already have a NIB police. I will donate this one to my brother. The rest are in excellent condition, only missing clips on some.

    A little less than $16.00 a knife?

    Not a bad deal at all, even with some being in less than pristine condition. Congratulations.

    I'd say you got a deal Andre! Got some old Rescue's in it too.

    When you've got a Delica and a Dodo, everything else is just eye-candy!

    I dunno Andre, not much to see there.
    Much used police, old ATS-55 Endura without a clip, used Delica and a bunch of rescues (which never told anything to me..)
    Ok the price is good, but do you need those spydies really? I mean by the amount of your collection it could be maybe better to concentrate on the "rare" models, so the ones you dont have.
    Maybe you could buy it and give away as gift to non-spyderco friends.
    I would think twice if I need those..

    Need... Who really needs more than one knife anyway? For that price I would have taken these too - even the Police! (There's nothing that can't be repaired...)

    A nice catch in my opinion!

    Cheers, Rob

    Andre V -

    Every now and then a blind hog finds an acorn!!! Boy you sure did stumble into them didn't you?

    Here is picture of what we use for security in the N. hemisphere! Way northern! Better than a bag of spydies?

    Excellent deal!! Those Spyderco's just need some TLC to bring them back into good shape. A little "character" never hurt a knife.
