Spyderco Forums

I decided to skip camping out this year due to weather and got to the SFO on Saturday afternoon at 2 and by 3 I was in the showroom and sorting through knives. I was very pleased with the selection available that late in the afternoon! I was able to find plenty of goodies and even had to reluctantly put a few back. The standouts that went back included a Cruwear Military and the Rivers Edge Para 3 exclusive.

I would like to thank all of the staff working the show, everyone was so helpful and friendly. I too had the pleasure of meeting Ed Schempp, I found him stacking up chairs as the sale was winding down and we talked about his designs and the ergonomics behind the Schempp Bowie.

Here's my haul from the sale. I was hoping someone could help me identify the model second from the bottom with the broken tip. I plan to grind a new tip on it and I'd like to reference the original model.

I can't wait to be there next year!!!!

Thanks for another Seconds Sale Spyderco!

This was my fourth one and overall I found what I was looking for (Natives, UKPKs) along with several surprises. I arrived later than in the past (1430), but the line was inside the door at about the reception desk and it took about 1h30m to get in to the sale. I spent about 30m browsing one of the two tables with the seconds and did a quick walk around the third table with the closeout/overstock knives and accessories before checking out. I was surprised to see about a half flat of Police 4s on the seconds table and the Mantra 2 on the overstock table for half price. I found several exclusives/sprints and even had the opportunity to double up on a couple, but decided to leave them for others.

Here's my haul. I went easy on the wallet this year.

First off, Thank you Spyderco, for hosting another great sale! Second, I would like to thank Ed Schempp and Toxophilus for serving up an incredible lunch on Friday. This was my third year in a row attending the sale and it gets better every time. Was good to catch up with many of the forum members and others from past sales. During the day on Friday, Ed Schempp came out front to give away an engraved Schempp Bowie, which my friend and I won! My friend received that model, but Mr. Schempp was kind enough to hang out during the sale to sign other models for people. I was lucky enough to score one too!

Already excited for next year! :spyder:

Heres my haul from this year! There was a lot of really good scores this year, in my opinion. A bunch of Golden made knives to pick from!
I got a few other goodies too. The Respect pin, an S35VN "spyderhole" cutout, and one of the NOS *rare* Spyderco stickers!

Awesome haul and good one on the Ed signing.
Now an even better knife to own.
