I managed after a lot of refreshing and effort to snag an S110V Manix 2 and an all-black Military. They still have a number of sprint run PM2's last check, so it's not all down to the import stuff yet. This comes once a year and didn't for at least 2021 or 2022, so if you want to pay less than half the going rate for a blem or a less-than-perfect grind on a great knife, here's your chance. Prepare to wear out your F5 key, fellas.

It did for me also at first, and many times along the way. I wasn't kidding about that F5 key.

Well now that I've actually come back to read the thread, I've learned what the F5 key is for!
I was so excited after reading the title of the thread that I just clicked on the link. Well, that didn't work, so then I tried another browser, and NO joy!
Now I'm jammin' on the F5! Hopefully something good come of this...

The pain was REAL. Its like they were selling Taylor Swift tickets. I finally got an order to progress to payment and it wasn't giving me a confirmation screen and instead a warning of resubmission may result in extra orders. I assumed I would have a bajillion dollar order until I received an email order confirmation from them, never did get the confirmation screen through. I thought about taking another go at it for an additional order, but ehhh.

Exact same thing here. Joked with a friend that with my luck, I’d get to hear “Why did we spend $2,753.78 with Spyderco?!?”
Hell, day’s not over yet, I still might!

Absolutely. What'd you snag? The Native Chief sprint in M390 looked really good, and so did the PM2 in Maxamet, but I decided not to go totally silly with it.

What a royal pain in the ass, extremely slow service, but finally ordered two Para 3s, one combination and one serrated "Spyder" edge. $58 ea.
But thanks for the heads up P220 Smudge.

I don't know what F5 does for you on a Windows platform but I can tell you it don't do shit for me on an Apple MacBook. Good Luck everyone.

Stumbling through, its slow, and I have to refresh a lot, but so far I've got 3 things in my cart. Have to see if the shipping costs pencil still, but thanks for the notice.

I give up. I can't get through the checkout process, it times out then flags as fraud and locks me out.

Took me about 20 minutes but I got what I wanted, that's after they sold out of my first choice.
