Whats your latest knife purchase?

[MeatyMac]

I got the SRK. Nice CS for $26 for sure. Not sure how the logo will etch because it looks painted too, but we'll give it a shot.

Geez, I had to read that twice, you gonna beat it up and post pics

Nice!


I glad that it isn't available on amazon...

I've picket up two Colt Legends Continues CT-series stag handle traditionals, a canoe and a butterbean, in the last month, they're a well made, attractive knife for the money.

Back on topic, my most recent purchases were a "like new" Spyderfly off of eBay and a just released Spyderco Drunken direct from Spyderco. Already received the Spyderfly and should receive the Drunken shortly.

One of my knife shop accounts, Williams Cutlery in San Jose, got one in today and I was the first guy in to see it, played with it for a minute and snagged it...Right place/right time...

Wow, I might be impatient the first five years, and then indifferent the last three years, hahah. I guess if there's communication from the maker... yearly update?

That pretty much sums up my approach to the situation. Scott makes an AWESOME knife, but his Comms skills suck. I went easily over a year a couple times with no response to my inquiries and outreaching from him. I was tempted to flip the knife as soon as I got it for a nice profit, but the knife is so awesome, I haven't been able to so far.

Despite the high price, demand is very high.

$630 MSRP is a chunk of change. But I am sure the QC spec is MAX for the Taiwanese on this one.

How much below MSRP do you get if you are in the OpFocus?

[bug_eyedmonster]

Yeah, it looks like a stretched out Sinkevich ZT0456CF but a lot better to me than that model. Only bought it because it could get it below MAP as a Spyderco OpFocus member. If I don't like it when I get it, I'll flip it.

Dibs! I've been eyeballing this and like it more every time I see it.

He likes that shape now. That is very close to the shape of my 0456BW shape. Nice shape, nice CF.

Say shape again.

Back on topic

NOW THAT'S a nice looking Spyderco. Almost looks like a Sinkevich clone.

Just started the selling knives that don't "fit" in my collection after a very heavy acquisition phase which is all done now.

Sounds so sterile and mechanical. Go out and beat the hell out of a few knives and have some fun. Kidding again.

Looking forward to getting that SRK. Will etch and strip it and do a "stonewash" on it.

I'm already pretty much giving away all of the knives that I'm trying to sell.

Avoiding the 10% that EBAY will take is a good deal all-around Why you selling that CS? I just love selling stuff on EBAY where I'm losing 13.5% and someone will not bid, but messages me "what's your lowest price?".

[crufflers]

FWIW, I've got a BNIB Recon1 Tanto for sale right am including a used (but in excellent condition) Cold Steel Finn Wolf w/it for free.

See the link in my signature line if you're interested.

Will you give away the Finn Wolf separately? Kidding.

Have an SRK coming tomorrow, it's $34 on Amazon right now, and kinda itching for a Recon 1 clip point.... and maybe an AD-15.

CS makes some nice blades from bargains that work to refined pieces that are still pretty affordable - how it should be for imports, IMHO.

I have been wanting a SRK for a while, grabbed one last night when they hit $26... thanks to your post. Almost pulled the trigger at $40 a few months back. Amazon is pretty hilarious with listing some at $80 and some at $26... I know it is more like EBAY these days for many items. I had a user SYKCO 511 this will replace - I bet it will do as well for 1/4 the price.

ECOP on EBAY has a similar price - might be them on AMAZON @ $26 - trusted source. Yep it is them... I got a Tenacious SFO with OD green scales from them once for $14 shipped.
