does anybody know of where I could find spyderco or benchmade blems? I have no real interest in knives being collectible if I can pick up a nice one on the cheap. I know Kershaw guy sells zt's for cheap, but I don't really care for the recurve blade shape.
 
I know spyderco sells factory seconds, but I think you have to go to the factory outlet for them usually. (Although I know the cts xhp mule seconds were being offered on their website last I checked.)
If you don't mind slightly less than perfect knives, you should look on the exchange here. There are some great people to buy from and you can still get the benefit of warranty coverage which you lose with factory seconds or blems.

If you are asking about the Spyderco Factory Outlet (SFO), yes. They do sell Mule Team seconds through the SFO online. The rest of the seconds are kept until they have a seconds sale, usually in November. I've picked up some great buys at the two I've attended, and there are usually a bunch on the big auction site right after the sale.
 
I went to an outdoor gear place here in town, needless to say almost all their benchmades were blems it seemed. I checked out a opportunist and the lock bar was ground way to hot. The face was purple and blue and lock up was almost all the way over! I saw a torrent with the absolute weakest lock up. I mean you sneeze wrong and it will unlock on you. I was truly disappointed. But I still walked away with a minigrip for 62$ I want to contact benchmade about the opportunist because its not in production any more. Hopefully they could fix it
 
wow...I thought these factory blems were just cosmetic things. I guess I'll have to be careful...especially buying a blem online and not handling it in person. I've heard nothing but good things about kershawguy...I was just wondering if there was a benchmade or spyderco guy. lol
 
Your best bet is to get a second from spyderco at there next sale if you can. Im spoiled and live only an hour away from the spyderco outlet. I was really surprised at the benchmades I handled. All my benchmades are extremely perfect.
 
The ZT 560/61 and 550/51 are not recurve blades. I have both. Kershawguy has great prices on 550 gen 1 and 2 blems. NIB 560/61 for a lot less than any other site that
I know of.
Kershaw makes several blade shapes that aren't recurves. Kershawguy carries a Lot of Kershaws.
