where to find discontinued spyderco knives

jacksonpt · 06-12-2004, 05:04 AM

I'm looking for the Spyderco Dyad:

It was discontinued, and I remember seeing it in a sierra trading post catalog late last summer or last fall. I checked e-bay, found one, but I'd prefer to buy new if possible. I googled it, found a few, but most are still going for pre-discontinued prices... ~$150. Sierra Trading Post had it for $75, but I wasn't in the market for a knife back then.

I know there are some knive afficianados on the board, so I'm hoping someone might have an inside track on some good prices. Any help would be appreciated.

I would try a gun show or a knife show, ebay, or online store...most knife store fronts do not have good prices. I get all my knives from either the military (Benchmade AFO Auto..or and a big spyderco police to cut the tape needed to tape up the flightdeck for NVG ops) my personal knives I get from a friend back home in Cali who goes to all the shows... he got me another spyderco police for under $100. way back when they were $175. I think gunshows are your best bet.

I like the Police model.

Good price too.
Found that with Google.

The police model is in my pocket right now. It is slim, can't tell it is in the pocket. good size for pocket knife. Sharp, very sharp......

The only thing I dislike about the police is the fact that it is silver...too BLING BLING for me ( plus its not that great to use when deployed...don't want too much metal showing)
but, it is a great knife...I like the seraded blade. I also like how slim it is...and I have had one for over 9 ot 10 years and my other I have had for 3. Both in great condition.

I carried this Benchmade Stryker for a couple of years. Best knife I ever had. I gave it to my girlfriend's brother right before he shipped out and have yet to find a decent replacement.

EDIT:
oh and thanks for the link Corey

There used to be a good website where I bought my knives for personal use and work. They've since disappeared. It's good to have another website to look through.
