How come I can't access a previously posted thread on the blue military pre-order? Is that a prohibited subject and the thread removed or something? Figured people would be gossiping no? People on another forum seemed to be pooping all over the retailer but I emailed a few questions and got very polite and quick responses.
 
I didn't see it before it was moved to the Moderator Only area, but if it was as inflammatory as the one I saw over on the factory forum, the mods here probably decided it was just plain trolling.
 
Oh if it went negative sure. Well maybe some people will find this positive. I simply emailed them to ask about what happens if they sell out given that they take payment up front. Seems pretty reasonable to me. Here's the response I got:
"We loaded a conservative amount into our shopping cart system and we will not oversell. If any unforeseen issues that may arise that will keep Spyderco from delivering this product to us, we will fix the problem and, if necessary, provide a full refund."
I may have to order up one! Gotta love the smurf knives.

It was moved due to 'deal spotting' even though I never mentioned the dealer's name. My intention was to let members know of a new desirable spydnie. This was done in the same spirit and manner used previously by others to notify BF members of other desirable dealer exclusives such as 204P PM2, S90V Manix2 & Yokombo2, M390 & M4 BM710, M390 ZT 350, etc. I did not intend to go trolling.

I find the mods on this board to be way too overactive. It's the reason I stayed away for over two years, and the reason I will probably disappear again soon. I put a thread about a guy using a knife to hold a child hostage on the General discussion forum. The nods moved it to the dumbass thread. I put that same exact, word-for-word thread on three other forums. It has not been moved on one of them yet.

I used to be a paid member here. I will never ever do that again. Why pay to have your threads moved all the time, when I can go elsewhere and they get left alone.

Yeah,. go ahead and give me more points for this, don't really care. :grumpy:
 
Very tempted due to the steel on this one, but priced out of my league. Too bad,for me, but it is what it is. Whoever gets one, when they make it to your mailbox....I look forward to the feedback. Thanks.

People just want to know where the latest cool knife is. You'll have to go somewhere else on the Internet to do that without getting censored.
 
Is he talking about the blue Para Military? Otherwise, what is this blue Military you speak of, and where can I buy one:p NM, I found it. I wouldn't buy any knife from them though, their prices are outrageous.

At least you are in the US. International shipping is 59.99.

I bought from them once. I got 2 of the Manix 2 with the M4 steel. Their prices on their new exclusives are too high for me and I passed. Even though I would like to own a knife with S90V I will also pass on this one. I will be going for the Manix 2 XL in S90V though. Looking forward to that one.
 
I saw/bought some Para 2s a couple of weeks ago and my natural inclination was to let you guys know while they were still available (4hours). After I thought about it, I figured it would violate some rule on this forum and I didn't want the hassle. No good deed goes unpunished.

I am with you on that one, fortunately for me I couldn't pay the price they were asking in the first place. I did pre-order a cruwear though from a company that doesn't charge $60 shipping on an already ... I won't go there.

I've never bought from the place and never will.
Thats OK though as I don't like the blue anyway, and I can't afford every new knife that comes along.

I'm also passing on the Cruwear Military because I don't like light grey G10.
