Super Secret 532 Club...

[SharpBits]

So, how does one get in the Super Secret 532 Club? It's next to impossible to find a 532 for sale. I have placed two orders and both were canceled due to no stock. I'm currently waiting to be out bid on one...
I actually want one that I can use !

So, how does one get in the Super Secret 532 Club?

SharpBits,
I really is not as diffucult as it seems. Don't get frustrated by a lack of stock from some dealers. Just bite the bullet and BUY one, then another and another...! It can be an addictive club though, so beware. I know of a dealer local that has a number of the 2000 Limited edition models, he is asking full retail for them. I have a few myself, I believe all that have been produced with the exception of one, and all of which have been obtained this year!!. And yes that is a "Family Favorites" at the bottom that I received as a personal gift from Chuck Buck

535sawby,

That is an excelent collection of beautiful 532's! I'm somewhat envious of you.
Jake is taking care of first 532, I may win a second on auction, so I'm on my way. Few people part with these so it's difficult to buy your first.
BTW, Joe Houser tells me there is a special 532 coming next year, with some interesting features. I'm starting to save now! I'll let Joe spill the beans...
Now, how do you get one with Stag??

Allright, 535Sawby. Enough is enough! Tell me where ya got that awesome pearl version, or I'll have to come over there and wave a Randall or two in your face!

 

[532Sawby]

Danbo,
That 532 is the only one I have that is not a production model. I t was however made for me by Bucks custom knife maker. Chuck Buck saw it at the Blade Show and was quite impressed, I let him sign it and he went the extra distance by putting"MY FAVORITE' Chuck Buck 02" on the blade. It is a prize!! Peace,

 

[Joe Houser]

Club? What club? I have no idea what you are talking about.

 

[SharpBits]

Looks like someone poached my Ebay 532!
:grumpy:
Anyway, can't wait until Jake's shows up!

[SharpBits]

Wow, my 532 arrived from Jake (Thanks Jake) and it's one sweet knife. Perfect EDC for me, right size, right heft, looks great and less filling!
Please make more!

Bald1,
Nice collection! That 532EU is a new one on me. Back to the hunt I guess.
I don't think I will be happy till I have one of all production models. I know where a 532Sawby lock is, but he won't sell it. Believe me I offered <B>BIG $$</B< :grumpy:

 

[bald1]

Mike,

I've e-mailed you about that knife. With the date stamp and box identification it is a limited edition despite not being stamped "EU". Joe can verify the specifics.

I did some checking and the 532EU was made in 1998 for Herbertz. It was a run of 500 pieces with Heritage Walnut inlays.
Mike, Have I seen that 532 Sawby?

Here is another 532...

 

[Joe Houser]

And here is the other side.

 

[532Sawby]

Joe,
Since you found yours, can I be first on the list for this "new" 532?? Is the pocket clip removable??

 

[SharpBits]

Can I be second on that list???

-SB

 

[bald1]

Joe, put me in that queue too please okay? -!

That thumbstud is an interesting addition. For purity it'd be nice if the blade didn't have the nail nick but I understand why. What about Mike's query regarding the clip? Is it fastened with screws or studs?

 

[folsom]

Pretty knife, I want one too....


Can't seem to find all the 532's out ther either, and probably couldn't afford them if I did!

 

[532Sawby]

oops

 

[532Sawby]

Well, I managed to track down a 532EU like Bald1 has. Thanks for the heads up. I also just got one with the 100 year logo, white micarta scales and mirror polished blade. This knife is serialized and only 100 pieces were made. Also got one with a maple burl handle. A good week with 3 new additions to the case.
