OK. So who went to the Factory Seconds Sale?

What did you think?

I WENT! It was my first time even though I live only 30 minutes from the place. I had a ball and it made me happy! I spent a lot of money and thourally enjoyed handling all the models that I never handled before.

I asked questions and there were smart people there to answer them. I even got a bargain on a really cool sushi knife that I didn't even know they made.

The prices were bargains for the most part (even though I thought that $75 for a Seconds SpyderWrench wasn't a bargain and didn't get one) and bought 5 knives and a few stones and a shirt. Too bad I didn't get there sooner. I had to settle for a serrated second Lum Chinese when I would have rather had a plain-edge one.

One thing I thought was especially cool was that, for the most part I couldn't find a darn thing wrong with their "seconds"! A few had noticable scratches, but everything I bought I honestly couldn't figure out what was wrong with them.

Seriously, I was like a kid in a candy store! When I got to the end the lady said, "Are you finished? Would you like to check out?"
I said, "No. I'm going through again!", and I did and picked up a few more!

Can't wait until next time! Oh, what fun!:D

For those who missed it... :p
 
This was my second " seconds" sale.
I ended up buying 2 new knives not seconds. These were suppose to be factory overstock. And they came with a guaranty.
I bought a Blue Salsa AUS 8 alumin handles for 45. and I bought a Centofonte PE for 75. I figure I saved about 25 % on each knife. Plus no S & H
I went there to buy some of their broken return knives.Last time I bought 4 of them. This time I only got 2. There wasnt much there.
They make great edc for like construction or warehouse work, where they take a lot of abuse, Like cutting sheet rock for demo work
Also, it doesnt kill ya to lose a 5 dollar knife.

I bought a kitchen knife for 20 bucks and some stones.
I didnt buy the Lum even though that was one of the knives I went there for. They were all serrated and I wanted a PE.
I almost wish I would of bought the Lum instead of the Centofonte.

Overall I feel the sale has been a place to buy. Although, I thought I was going to save more then I did.

last time I spent about 300 bucks at the sale. This time I spent 177.

Also, per my boy who works is a carpenter/ foreman. The spyderco wrench is the best Christmas gift I ever gave him. He uses it every day. The best 70 bucks I ever spent.
Adios
 
How much was the Lum chinese serrated second? Just curious, PM or email if you'd rather.
 
can someone post some prices of the models, and then some prices that were for seconds? im just wondering
