Product Description
New in 2015, this collaboration between Spyderco and custom knifemaker Peter Carey offers a pocket-friendly stature and a dash of blaze-orange flair—hence its name, the Firefly. In contrast to the orange G-10 scales, the upper third of the handle consists of contoured and polished carbon fiber bolsters Read More
I dig this knife, but it's not a good value to me. You can get so much knife at this price point these days. I wish it had a premium steel. It would be so much easier to justify the cost.
LarryklunkGood catch but it's sold out now. It's sold out pretty much everywhere now. If you've been waiting, it's probably time to act. It still seems expensive for materials to me, but For whatever reason, seki Spydercos in g10 are always super expensive. This is only about $10 more than a g10/vg10 dragonfly.
Before it was discontinued the price on this one was around $175 or more in a lot of places.
I'm not saying that makes $130 a cheap price or even a good deal. Personally though, I wanted this knife from the moment it came out but the price was way too high. For someone like me who had eyes on this knife and couldn't afford it before, the $130 price point, though still not cheap, makes getting this model possible.
Now hopefully it doesn't suck hahaha.
Spyderco must be tripping some major ballsack if they think that this knife worth as listed at $359.95 on g10, steel liners, and under 3 inches of VG10 with just a little dab of carbon fiber. At $130.00 this is about what it is worth, sorry to say, Massdrop.
mhwolfHa... was just thinking the same. A sub-3" VG10 knife ain't worth much over $100. I don't care who designed it or if it has a couple square inches of cf
I guess I'm not seeing the value in this one either, can anyone enlighten me?
Aside from the fact that there's no option this time for lowering the cost by dropping the carry case....
I paid less then this for the yojimbo 2 here. Larger blade, more expensive blade material (CPM-S30V), also g10 scales.
Only thing I see to up the price here is a small bit of CF, but not even enough of that to make up the difference in blade material costs?
fhoodLol great, just what I needed, a whole thread full of enablers hahaha
Funny, one thing I find in googling is some people complaining about the same thing you're praising. That the polish makes it a little too slippery for handling a small knife. Different strokes, right? :)
Anyway, I think I'm going to take a pass, but it's been fun talking about what goes into these things beyond just raw materials
