Re: Seconds sale 2022
I wonder if olders models can be found there ? I've been after a Ti N5 for a while, and would be willing to find a proxy for this
In the collection : Lots of different steels, in lots of different (and same) Spydercos.

Re: Seconds sale 2022
Sometimes older models can be found but there’s no predictability to what’s going to be there. Some standout models I’ve seen in the past few years are models like a Leafstorm and Spyderwrench. I’ve seen Fluted Ti Native 5 after being discontinued as well but don’t recall seeing any last year.

Re: Seconds sale 2022
I see, thanks for the intel. I don't think it would be worth it to send money to someone and bother him to chase something very special. A broader list would be less annoying.Mushroom wrote: ↑Sun Oct 09, 2022 8:17 amSometimes older models can be found but there’s no predictability to what’s going to be there.

Re: Seconds sale 2022
After decades of wanting to make it out to the SFO I’m finally doing it and for the seconds sale. Can anyone tell me what to expect for when I should get there to be in line? When have people showed up and when do they open the doors in the past?

Re: Seconds sale 2022
Same, bought a few Native 5 Maxamets in the great online sale and had to give a mate one and couldn’t fault them when picking which one to give awayyablanowitz wrote: ↑Wed Oct 05, 2022 8:23 pmIt is a knife that has failed Spyderco's stringent Quality Control, but is still functional and safe to use.

Re: Seconds sale 2022
So far, I think Mushroom (Nick) has the record at a week early. Usually the line is around at least two sides of the building by opening time. A bunch of us arrive a day or two early, camp out and have fun until the sale. One of the few times when you can just hang out and talk knives with fellow knife knuts.WhitePineOwl wrote: ↑Mon Nov 07, 2022 8:53 pmAfter decades of wanting to make it out to the SFO I’m finally doing it and for the seconds sale.

They usually open the lobby and let people inside an hour before the doors open. Gives them a chance to get out of their cold weather gear and warm up before going in. I'm not the one to ask about times because I live in Central time and don't bother resetting my watch for the day or two I'm there. It seems like they opened the store early last year, but that may be a function of my memory rather than reality.
Show up as early or as late as you want. There's generally still a line all day, but it gets shorter. The SpyderCrew brings out trays of new stock all day long, so no matter when you go there will be goodies to be found.

Re: Seconds sale 2022
Well, I had everything planned out to attend and then a big work project just changed its dates, so now I'm traveling for work that weekend. I'm super bummed I have to cancel my plans, as I haven't been able to make it there since the 2017 sale.

Re: Seconds sale 2022
Bummer, man. I was hoping to see you there this year. I guess that's what you get for being indispensable.
Re: Seconds sale 2022
Looking forward to seeing everyone soon! I’ll bring the snacks..

If anyone could pick up a Canis second and an Assist second (any color) for me*, that would be appreciated.

Re: Seconds sale 2022
Wish I could go, would love to grab a Native 5. For those of us who can’t go we want some great pictures of the experience. Good luck to everyone going.

Saw this thread yesterday and thought I'd missed it. Glad to learn I've gotten a reprieve. Hope to be there Friday night.

Re: Seconds sale 2022
Two years later, I still can't find what in the heck made my Para 3 a factory second. My Native 5 had an edge that kept striking the frame, but eventually, sharpening that out kept it from happening again.yablanowitz wrote: ↑Wed Oct 05, 2022 8:23 pmIt is a knife that has failed Spyderco's stringent Quality Control, but is still functional and safe to use.

Re: Seconds sale 2022
Can 2nd's be returned items?
Somebody buy's a knife and decides they don't like it for whatever reason... Returns it... Knife goes back to Spyderco... Spyderco evaluates said knife... Spyderco puts it in the bin for the 2nd's sale?
