Has anyone found a valid coupon code for anything today? I found an 8% off $88, but that's it. The other code some of you were using appears to no longer be valid.

Got me a Navigator 2.

Already sent it off to STR for some custom green micarta slabs and low-rider clip. The size and ergos on this knife are perfect for me. The VG-10 surgical steel is too sharp OTB. This will be my EDC.

Thanks for the tip.

I ordered one 72 hours ago and it came yesterday. Wow, super fast shipping. The navigator fits perfectly in my hand. It is a rock solid little knife. It is however hard for me to open since I'm a lefty. I do like it though. :)

With all the free advertisement they've gotten, can you blame them? :rolleyes:

Oohhh, that sounds nice! Sierras a bit weird, their prices can a couple times in a day if there are heavy sales (I think, I've never really figured it out.)

I got one of the PE Nav 2 from Sierra. Maybe this is just a fluke but blade is cracked.

That is a pretty unusual fluke. They were bragging to me about their return policy when I ordered there one time. I've never heard of a new one with a cracked blade before. Joe

I'm sure that Spyderco would be VERY INTERESTED in seeing that blade if you would send it to Golden for a replacement.

that must be a fluke. i received two navigators and both were perfect. i also have three more coming tomorrow. i'll let you know what condition they are in when they arrive.

i've never heard of a new knife arriving with a cracked blade! i'm pretty sure there is a return form included in the shipping box -- you may want to contact STP (or spyderco directly). good luck!

I'd call Spyderco and see if they want first crack at it, otherwise I'm sure Sierra will do the right thing. They seem like pretty reasonable folks.

Anyone curious about whether STP will do the right thing can simpy check out their guarantee.

Order a shirt clearly marked "2nds, minor flaws" and if you aren't happy with it they will refund your money.

STP has strong ethical beliefs that they adhere to even if it takes away from their 'bottom line' - much like another company with which we are all familiar....

I got mine yesterday (Navigator II PE). It wiggled free of the Spyderco box during shipment, but still it arrived safe and sound.

I just want them to put those black ATR's on clearance... :cool:

I odered a Nav PE last Thursday and they really messed up my order. By the time they worked everything out the warehouse was out of stock-

But-they came thru in the end and found one for me in there Coyote store and it was shipped out yesterday-I was told. Since it did not come from their warehouse no way to check shipment. Told today I should receive it beginning of next week.
I am hoping it is one of the newer thinner Nav 2 but no way of know until it gets here.
