I spoke with the seller a few weeks ago, he said his friend from Japan brings him these and they are packaged that way. The Native Operation Iraq Freedom is the same

Thank you. Just never seen them like that before. Wonder why 3 delicas are going for so much?

Best regards,

Wow! Now that you mentioned it, it's really horrendous! Maybe the fact that it's factory packed and untouched or people are just buying them to look at?

I've seen O.I.F. natives packaged like that.

Back when REI used to carry a couple of Spyderco models, they were packaged that way.

Yep, LL Bean has Salts and Dragonflies packaged that way, too.

 

[JNewell]

...and the Mules come that way...

The "CP" at the end of the model number stands for "Clam Pack"

i see that packaging often in outdoor stores.

The price that it sold for was pretty good considering that they sell separately for $110 each.

Yup. Word to the wise: never, ever sell valuable items in a multiple lot. It reduces the sale price dramatically.

I've seen them packaged like that at the NEX.

I've seen some Salts that were packaged like that at a local Academy sports store.

Exactly, and many chain sporting goods stores, as well as Military PX's like that type of packaging. It's difficult enough to open, and large enough, to provide a lower risk of "inventory shrinkage" when the knives are on self-service displays. Spyderco does not offer clam pack packaging for all its knives but has offered it on some of its more popular models for years.

Yep. I learned that the hard way.
