Re: Red & Black Holiday Sale!
Hello all, new member, first post, lifelong sharp edged tools enthusiast…My question is, are the factory seconds marked as such and how are the marked? I assume like other manufacturers they do mark them but I am curious as to how they are marked. Thanks everyone and best of luck to all that will be on the hunt for a new blade this Friday and thanks to Spyderco for the exciting sale!

Very cool, thanks Kristi!
Sounds like a lot of thought has gone into it.

Re: Red & Black Holiday Sale!
That's a surprise! I'm happy to see it happen again - hopefully less nerve-racking than the last one.
However, being announced so shortly before the event, I won't be able to participate tomorrow. Bummer. Please make it another day than Friday next time.
Good luck to everyone!!

Re: Red & Black Holiday Sale!
Same here. I'm already 5 knives in for November and now the seconds sale and on top of that DLT Trading is starting their 12 days of Christmas with really good deals. For this year Christmas is already cancelled.

Re: Red & Black Holiday Sale!
Thank you Kristi …now if it will just rain us out tomorrow
Re: Red & Black Holiday Sale!
The previous online sales how do you mixture of current production, recently discontinued, production, as well as exclusives/sprints from the prior year or so, that don't quite meet manufacturer standards.kriezek wrote: ↑Wed Nov 29, 2023 6:54 pmFor those of us who have not had the pleasure of participating in these events before, what type of knives are available? Are there recent exclusives? Any archived knives? Or is it mainly current production knives that don't quite meet manufacturer standards for some reason or another? Thanks for input from those who know.
Some of the flaws are noticable, some not. For example, my Police 4 G10 arrived with a spot on the blade which looks like they spent a little extra time polishing/grinding it, and my Military had a little bit of wonkiness on the grind near the heel of the blade.
Conversely, I also picked up a Shaman, Manix 2 S110v and the PITS sprint, and after thoroughly examining all of them, I really can't tell why they were seconds.

Re: Red & Black Holiday Sale!
I held off on the BF sales, but I'm definitely interested in this. Lumpy, thanks for the reminder that you can get discontinued knives like the Police 4 in G10. I wouldn't mind a non-FRN Police 4 (G10 or Pakkawood, I'm not picky) so I can make some scales for it. Hopefully I'll be able to find that model.

Dear Mhood10109:
Welcome to the Spyderco Forum.
All Spyderco Factory Seconds are marked by grinding a small notch in the spine of the blade, just ahead of the handle. It's very subtle, but clearly identifies it as a second.
Stay safe,
Mike

Small but definite mark.

So many questions young and inquisitive 'ShroomMushroom wrote: ↑Wed Nov 29, 2023 6:13 pmIs this “special events” website a third-party web hosting service?
If it is, will there be any price increases to help Spyderco offset the cost of using a third-party web hosting service? (I think there should be ) Or will the prices be the same as they are at the traditional in person sale?
Will there be any inventory of certain models that is depleted through this online sale, making them unavailable during the next OPFocus Seconds Sale in the spring or Traditional Seconds Sale next November?
Will the selection of inventory be comparable to the past online seconds sales?
I guess we'll have to wait and see what happens
Of all the things I've lost I miss my mind the most!
Re: Red & Black Holiday Sale!
I have an appointment first thing in the morning. Hopefully we're back in time to join the fun. There's only a couple knives I can think of that I might want but you never know.
I was thinking about picking up the GB2 Cruwear but that's out for now. I think I like the original one better anyway

Re: Red & Black Holiday Sale!
I just got nuts on a GB1 and the GB2 exclusive. I might need to find more arachids.
In the collection : Lots of different steels, in lots of different (and same) Spydercos.

Re: Red & Black Holiday Sale!
Really exciting!! I didn’t hear about the prior online seconds sale until recently so I was thinking I’d need to wait until next summer. Super pumped to see one again so soon and thank you for working to improve what sounded like a challenging experience for all the first time around.
Whatever happens tomorrow remember it isn’t life and death, just a fun hobby we are all fortunate to participate in. Best of luck to us and thanks to the Spyderco team for making these possible!

Re: Red & Black Holiday Sale!
Just hoping for some information, not that it helped much last sale. I am just fairly sure there will not be a whole lot of time to shop around and see what is what when the sale starts.TkoK83Spy wrote: ↑Thu Nov 30, 2023 10:11 amYou've already asked yesterday... be patient and please try not to blow this thread up like you have the other seconds sales threads.
