I was out shopping last night and came across a store with some older spydies kicking around. Is this Lum leftover from the early 2000's or was it released again? Anyone have an idea of a decent price point on these? PS edged any different?

My googling didn't turn up a whole lot...interesting looking knife. I was running and didn't have time to handle it, but looks nice!
 
Definitely "new old stock", as there has not yet been a Lum Tanto Sprint. Is it titanium, or G-10 and, if the later, black blade or regular? PS is worth less than plain edge, G-10 less than Ti, and black bladed less than uncoated. Original MSRPs were $165 for the G-10 and $205 for the Ti and, at the height of the market a couple years back, they'd have been worth more than MSRP. Not sure of current value, especially for PS. Market has been mostly down, some knives more than others.

I believe in-general Lum Tantos still catching up at least $200 in any configuration. A little while ago I saw one, I think black bladed on Forum for $190.
 
I agree with bh49, I have been watching them for a while hoping to find a good deal but they are still fetching high dollars. Couple on ebay both over 250 currently, neither has an actual bid but previous auctions have run over the 200 mark frequently.
 
They are pretty hard to find. If you like it you should snap it up before it's gone.
 
Thanks all! When I come up for air I need to get over there. They had the old manix and mini too..couple of others..

It was a coated ps with g-10. I like!
