Up for sale are five unique Spydercos that are either sprint runs, dealer exclusives, or discontinued. All of these are in excellent condition, all have been only lightly carried, and all original factory edges have only been touched up with Sharpmaker and stropped (except the Shaman). I've oiled all pivots with KPL, and applied EDCi formula to the blades of each, as all but the Vrango have fully or partially non-stainless steel blades. Any deviations from a flawless LNIB condition are described for each knife.
PRICES lowered for quick sale on remaining two knives.

Vrango (Discontinued) - I'm the original owner of this Vrango in CPM-S30V steel and beautiful blue anodized titanium handle with carbon fiber inserts. This sweet small knife has a cool blade shape, great Taichung Spyderco fit and finish, and dead-perfect blade centering. It has a superbly snappy action, solid lockup and zero blade play when locked. The only signs of wear or other cosmetic flaws that I can see on this knife are a few light scratches/snail trails on the midway point of the spine that can only be noticed when the light hits at a certain angle. Also, if the light hits just right (or wrong, I guess) the anodization looks a little lighter on the spine near the pivot.
SOLD (Finally!!) PayPal G&S, shipped USPS priority in CONUS. (not to get all sale-sy and stuff, but this is a freaking STEAL on a fantastic and damn good looking small knife)

Manix 2 - CPM-Cruwear (Sprint Run) - I'm the original owner of this Manix 2 in Cruwear steel with light gray, diamond pattern G-10 scales. It came out of the box perfectly centered, but to get the silky smooth action I wanted, my pivot adjustment puts the centering just a hair to the clip side. Solid lockup, zero blade play, and there are no cosmetic flaws that I can see, except for a minuscule scratch (~1mm - probably from the Sharpmaker) just off the bevel, near the ricasso on the non-clip side.
WITHDRAWN - Kinda glad this didn't sell. It's a keeper.

Stretch 2 - Super Blue (Sprint Run) - I'm the original owner of this Stretch 2 in Super Blue steel (clad with stainless 420J1) with gray FRN scales. After adjustment for ideal action, blade slightly favors the non-clip side. Solid lockup and zero blade play, with very nice deployment and closing action for a backlock. Only cosmetic issue is from the factory and typical of this sprint run, with the clad line slightly uneven near the tip on the clip side.

Endura 4 - V-Toku (Sprint Run) - I bought this Endura 4 in V-Toku steel (clad with stainless SUS410) with light blue FRN scales as LNIB last week here on BF. All is good here, with very similar lockup and nice closing action as the Stretch 2 Super Blue listed above. I did notice today that it looks like there is a light patina developing on the V-Toku steel near the clad seam, but only on the clip side. Go figure...actually, I like it and wish it was on both sides. Maybe a forced patina project for next owner?

Shaman CPM-M4 (Blade HQ Exclusive) - Saved the best for last? I only know that this is the toughest of all these five knives to part with, and frankly, ALL of 'em are going to be tough to part with. Anyway, I bought this Shaman in CPM-M4 steel and jade/natural scales as BNIB last week here on BF. I was going to Rit dye the natural scales, but decided against it, particularly when it looked like I was going to have to sell some knives to pay for an upcoming vacation trip. Anyway, not much to say about this, other than it's pretty much a perfect specimen of a fantastically designed/executed heavy-duty knife. I can't see any flaws whatsoever on this knife.

If anybody buys two or more of these, I can knock some $ off the price. I also can reduce prices by 3% with PayPal F&F payment, instead of G&S.
