Me too. I would have thought it would have been discontinued and the M2 BL would remain.

Not as deep a culling as last year I feel, but still too many models I want and had been putting off. Can't decide which to grab... I have the ATR, Chap TI, Ouroboros, and Manix all in my cart, and I can only afford one. :confused:

Dang. Bushcraft order placed at KC. :o I couln't resist.

And my FRN Stretch is on sale. So if prices drop on any of my preferred Bay stores, I'll place another order. :)

Done, ordered from Whitemountainknives, after they kindly accepted to reduce their price to KC level. :)

I keep going back and looking at that Euroedge. I have bought so many knives lately and I know I shouldn't buy another now but it just keep calling to me. I hope they sell out before I fold.

Hi Spydergirl,

Knives like the P'Kal are made more for undercover law enforcement officers, so we keep them in the line, even if sales are not large so we can support our law enforcement.

No more Bushcrafts available at KC anymore. Wow, their stock is melting like ice in the sunshine...

Understood. I learn something new everyday on this forum.

Honestly, it's going to be a rare classic. Can't think of another Spyderco that even looks remotely like it.

Well I am thoroughly miffed... Knife center canceled my Sage 2 order after confirmation AND a live email follow up.

We will see what happens.

I ordered a Sage 2 two days ago. I got the confirmation email shortly after completing my purchase. However, I have not yet received an email that the knife has been shipped. I am starting to fear the worst. Sigh...

Yeah, I just got an email from KnifeCenter that they canceled my Sprig order because “it was not allocated as expected.” Frustrating!

Thanks for the heads up! I’ve never purchased from them before. Have you had good experiences? I’m in scramble mode now, but want to get as close to that KnifeCenter price as I can.

My order was placed, recieved email confirmation. 2 days later I get an email clarifying my order, as apparently there was a system malfunction. They then remade my order from 2 days prior, after the knife had sold out.

They sent me a "sorry, your S.O.L" email. I doubt I will ever do business with them again.

I just got notification that two separate bushcrafts have shipped out when I only ordered one. Very unpleasant to deal with knifecenter on the phone. They are saying I placed two orders hours apart. Somehow while I was sleeping I placed a second order. And Tom from knifecenter says they will refuse to pay return shipping for one, once I get them. He was extremely rude about it too. Sarcastic thanks knifecenter.

Edit to add: Trevor from kc just called back and offered to pay return shipping on one. Genuine thanks. Still doesn’t make up for the rudeness from Tom though. Or the lack of explanation HOW the second order was placed. I’m concerned other customers may have been double charged as well. Especially considering the other “glitches” reported.

I too just got an email saying my Sage 2 has shipped. Guess I am one of the lucky ones. I had no idea there would be such a rush on the knife.

They said that I ordered 3 D'allaras and 2 one eyed jacks, the latter I didn't even purchase one of.

I'm utterly disgusted with their customer service.
