spyderco?

[kendodsworth]

hi all
I'm just wondering if there is any place I can get a spyderco (not botherd about what model just not the ukpk) for £40 or less I want one with at least a 3inch blade.
I own a few good folders and have red so many good reviews about spyderco knives but never thought of getting one up until now, the blade design kinda put me off but I'm ready to take the dive and see what all the hype is about. I just don't want to pay more than £50 incase it's not my kinda knife I'm quite peticular.

thanks all.

Try joining edgematters and put a wanted as up. For a new decent size Spydie you would struggle as they have shot up in price recently. They look a little odd maybe but are surprisingly grippy and good quality. I still have my BB Urban as an EDC.

Good advice above.
Also, reputable UK based suppliers :

Lamnia & knivesandtools also have good rep.

i usually have a look at henniehayne and knivesandtools, I did get a kershaw injection 3.0 for next to nothing the other day off hennie not a bad little knife.

I just bought one of their little 'UK legal' penknives and I'm very happy with it . Super sharp straight out of the box.

I was the same way, I wanted to try a Spyderco for a while but could never really bring myself to spend the money. The UK legal ones seem fine but while they're legal they always look like they'd draw the wrong kind of attention if I ever used one in front of people. Most people don't bat an eyelid at a SAK but for a lot of use I wanted one handed opening and a pocket clip. In the end I picked up a second hand Persistance just to try it out and it's turned out to be a really useful knife. The big thumb hole is especially good when you're wearing gloves so it's had a good bit of use around the garden etc. The open scales of the handle make it nice and easy to clean and it sharpens easily. As much as I'm happy with it though I don't think I'd pay nearly 60 quid for a new one now the prices have gone up.
