Is a Spyderco native 5 form factory second for $30 a good deal?

It doesn't say what's wrong with it, but it looks fine. Is it worth picking up?

It's less than half of what they're being sold for new. I'm sure it's fine or they wouldn't be selling it. Then again, it's only worth picking up if you want it - regardless of price.

I've sold knives on here for less than what they were worth just to move them. I personally would say it's a good move at that price point, but I really like the Native 5 and wouldn't mind another one

Looks fine but how is the action?

I've read posts that ppl got great deals on Factory 2nds at the Spyderco Factory Sale but regretted it when they got home cuz the pivot was binding-n-grinding.

$30, even for a factory 2nd, has my spydie-sense tingling. Caveat Emptor!

A S35VN lockback with some of the best ergos in the industry? Yes. That is a good deal. If you bought two, or regret buying the one you bought, I will happily buy it off of you and pay for shipping.
