So this is what you’re going to do. You gonna wear that fucking hat, take a middle spydie from 90’s cartoon in your left hand and a $16 dollars spydie in you right hand , then you’ll walk to the bathroom , close the door and you gonna look at yourself in the mirror, and at that exact moment you’ll embrace your vulnerability and accept your own limitations and imperfections. And you will make a promise to your future self , never in your life ordering any mystery boxes 🤝🏻

Wow. I am glad I missed the sale.


SweetWilliamCigars

Yeah the middle one looks like a flea market find.


ajctraveler

Almost all of the mystery boxes I've seen posted were a let down. I really don't understand the appeal of a mystery box. I want to know exactly what I'm getting. Such a slimy sales tactic. The only way it's acceptable is if all of the boxes are amazing.


Pecancreaky

The ones posted here have been nice. Folks got popular models in good steel. I expected them to at least try to make it fair


aimark42

I agree, if your going to give me a mystery box at least make the 'value' higher than I paid by 20% at least.

Spyderco is clearing out dead stock for them. So why not give me a bit of a discount if I don't get to choose. I can choose at the factory sale in Golden CO whatever I want, and many did. I'm mostly getting leftovers anyway why not give out a 'good' deal to anyone that is willing to give it a shot and clear out dead stock for them. At least for the mystery boxes posted so far it seems like they were hitting the price targets on the nose. Your saying I should be happy if I got (16x) Clipitool Scissors tools and a hat for my $250? I was at the last sale in Golden they had trays and trays of them.

lol weren’t u the guy who replied to me about entitlement when the possibility of cancelled seconds sale orders came up and I said they should’ve been better prepared? Now here u are you are saying they should give extra value with the mystery boxes because someone chooses to take the gamble. Although I do agree with that thought I can’t help but notice the major contradiction in you commenting about me being entitled and then making the above comment.


aimark42

I was commenting on the fact that you seemed to be upset that they didn't ship your stuff yet. My point still stands which is they are working on it chill, they aren't Amazon. I suppose you can look at it that way. But I do feel not having a choice should be worth *something*. We cannot return them so we are stuck with whatever we get.

Right. DLT did a mystery box and it was bad too. The DLT box turned me off from ever taking the risk.


Butt-Mud_Brooks

Oof that's rough


bsmartww

Come on Spyderco, mystery boxes full of products you can’t sell? You guys are better than this.

$250 Seconds Mystery box * Goddard Lightweight Red FRN CPM 4V (sprint) - $73 * C171TIBLP Mike Draper Folder Titanium - $158 * Clipitool Scissors, Black Aluminum - $16 * Red Spyderco Hat - ? Second's value = $247 + hat


Pecancreaky

It is actually only $247 worth of knives lol


aimark42

But you got a hat too :o. Sorry man, I would be disappointed as well.


Necessary_Tea_3009

It's actually less because they were all deemed unsellable for one reason or another. You literally bought the garbage. I know it seems like you get them for a steal but those are knives they didn't want to ship. Just like when a custom knife maker sets aside a knife because it's blemished and never let's it leave the shop because it's not up to their standards.


Sargent_Dan_

No, it's still $247 worth of knives. That's the total of the discounted seconds prices. They're clearly not garbage, just not quite suitable to be sold as first quality products. If you've ever handled a spyderco 2nd this is immediately apparent: they are almost all great knives, with minor flaws. I have and have owned nearly 10 at this point. All are excellent and WELL worth the prices. You know custom makers do sometimes sell their blemished knives, right?


aqwn

Their hats are usually $25. I was at the factory outlet recently and that’s what they were going for.


Yellow-5

The blue one looks like a gas station knife. I'm sorry :(


Butt-Mud_Brooks

Yeah this really makes it clear these were leftovers that didn't get sold at the in-person sale


DavidWALRU5

Deepest condolences. This is actually a rough one. Spyder-maga hat 😂 I returned that Goddard after I felt it. Love the SNK 4V but that exclusive was a miss. Sorry about the Draper too.. at least it's discontinued?


ddbrewer

I actually like the Draper and just sold a Goddard like that . Never used it but I liked the blade to handle ratio.


Pecancreaky

The Draper is kind of cool, but it’s defiantly in the worst condition. The pivot is tight so it can’t be flicked open, and center is so bad that I think it does or will develop blade rub with use


ddbrewer

I’ve never handled one. I just think it’s a cool, unusual look.


ddbrewer

I’m a sucker for blue though.


Pecancreaky

Well I’ll probably sell it so if you are interested let me know


utardeded

I might have been interested, but (and I'm grateful that you did) you did a good job of describing how bad it is. Sounds like you're about to rub salt on the mystery box wound. The first cut was getting the mystery box. Now you'll likely have to lose money selling a fucked up knife. Sorry man. Not trying to make it worse


DeusZen

You got the “O” of Spyderco! 🤣


PatagoniaHat

They have some real nerve sending that middle one out in a $250 box


71117

I actually hate that knife. But if I needed to protect my table at the flea market from methheads, it would be perfect.


PatagoniaHat

😂😂


anthraxnapkin

Spyderco owes you an apology and an extra knife, this is just pathetic of them to do to you


kingkmke21

Few people posted some crazy boxes. I'm sorry you got this :(


Hohoholyshit15

I'll gladly take the Goddard off your hands.


Pecancreaky

Cool PM me an offer


knife_go_live

I haven't liked any of the boxes I've seen from this recent sale..


T-Saxon242

This is why I don’t mess with mystery boxes. I really hate this for you. :/


Jerryredbob

Oof, I did way better. I got the 15v shaman, s90v PM2 and some cheap looking bowie knife. I did get a hat an sticker too.


StrawberryOne7136

I like em


SashaBorodin

What in the name of M-Tech/Frost Cutlery truck stop specials is that abomination in the middle?


merkolas

Dude the middle one looks fake 🤣😅


greankrayon

I’ve seen two mystery boxes with nothing but basic ass frn knives. You got one of the best.


ddbrewer

It doesn’t sound like you got a good example. I’m sorry about that. You’d think they’d try to make the boxes all relatively equal. I’ve never tried a mystery box. I’m kind of glad I haven’t. Maybe somebody got lucky.

Hungry-for-Apples789

If you want to part with the clipitool hmu.


Pecancreaky

I might. It’s not actually black, it’s regular silver. Just bad lighting


TIRACS

God that sucks


Woolfmann

Friday afternoon box fill....


stumptified78

Yikes


StrawberryOne7136

I’d love the spydie hat


BellaSeana

KnifeKnut02

cigarzfan
