I got one in the mail today, well it was a few days ago, but I was somewhere else for about a week, so I got it today. Goodness is this thing cool, it's so slim and just cool all over, it's kind or a shame that it is a discontinued item, but I'm glad I have mine.

Where did you find the SpyderCard? I've been looking for one to tuck in my Spec-Ops THE wallet as a backup to my other Spydies. Thanks for the help.

Best bet for finding one is eBay, there is almost always at least one of them listed there. Next best bet would be the Exchange forum here. They don't show up as often, but your chances of getting screwed are probably a bit lower. Other forums with sales sections might be worth checking as well.
Do be sure you know what you are getting. There was a fairly large number of Spydercard "seconds" sold sometime last year. The boxes they came in have an XX prefix in front of the SC01 and the blade has a small notch cut in the right side of the spine. Photos illustrating this can be found here:

If you can't tell from the pictures and/or description, ask the seller. They are safe to use, but I would not pay as much for one as for a first-rate one.
I used this forum to get it. Well the Buy/Sell/Trade section. I bought it off nuggett, don't go messaging him because he might not have any other for sale. But use the forum you see them being sold every month or so. I'm intrigued by this wallet, but I like my nylon wallet as it it and it fits perfectly in there.

Thanks for the help.
I found mine over on www.savesonswordsandknives.com, they had a batch of factory seconds for sale sometime last year (plain unmarked box with notch on spine). I like mine despite the imperfections. Now if it only had a pocket clip it would be even better.

I got one on E bay. It is a second. I still like the coolness factor , annd it works fine. The guy that sold it to me said he didn't know it was a second and offered to give me a refund. I sent him a link to your web site Deacon.
