Would love to know if the Watu and Slysz Bowie can be seen there.
Or even the Chokwe and CPM154/S90V Native 5!
:respect In the collection :respect : Lots of different steels, in lots of different (and same) Spydercos.

It is possible but Taichung models are not as common and they’re in high demand at the sale.

The Watu might have the best chance of being there because of how recently it was produced. There is also possibility that there could be some DLT Exclusive Slysz Bowies but once the word gets out that they’re present at the sale, they will ALL be found FAST! ;) Older models, like the Chokwe and CPM154/S90V Native 5 would likely only show up as a return at this point, so the chances of finding one are even lower.

Those Native 5’s were actually fairly common to find at the sale for a couple years but I believe the stock has mostly been depleted by now.

Thanks for all these informations, I never tried to get a proxy for the sale and I do not think I can decently ask such a precise thing to anyone here, wouldn't be fair 🤣

Not at all. ;) Don't forget the knives inside the boxes too because he has etched his signature on to knives in the past. I was planning to bring a Tuff for this exact same reason.🤞

If anyone gets crazy and ends up with an extra PE Shaman, any steel, I will gladly cover the cost (+shipping) of it.

Think I am going to be in San Francisco for work during this one. Closer than my home one the East coast, but not quite there.

I’ll be sharing pics as soon as I get to SFO. I’ve already been informed that I’m not going to be first in line this year! ;)

I don't know how early you have to get there to be first these days. The first couple times I went I was second in line (getting there Wednesday afternoon) by a small margin, but a couple people have been pushing that way, way earlier in recent years.

I think I saw Rich is getting there Thursday afternoon. I'm getting there Friday around noon. I don't expect I'll be very close to the front.

I got there …. two years ago to guarantee being first in line. It was way too early but it worked! :zany

The line didn’t get long until Friday night last year, it was different compared to how early people showed up the few years prior.

Yup, some guys arrive a couple days before the Seconds Sale opening and Rich is often among the first ones)

Na, Nick is the king of first in line. I always get there early but I don’t like to commit to the line so I go around Golden as well as neighboring towns exploring and eating at good restaurants for a couple days and usually show up Thursday morning.
