@@doodysdaggers yeah it went from being thumb flickable if you tried really hard and not at all reverse flickable to easily thumb flickable and easily reverse flickable. Still takes more oomph like other backlocks and compared to some like the delica it’s much harder but for someone who’s flicked a bunch of different knives it’s pretty easy and satisfying
Nice score. Maxamet is an amazing steel. As far as patina goes, if you dont treat the blade it will just get darker, if you do mustard it will turn mostly gray with some hints of blue in certain light, and if you cut meats with it and leave it then that would give you the most color on the blade. Also can do apple cider vinegar for a nice darker all around look, just dont use ferric chloride as its to strong and not necessary on that steel, and some say it weakens the steel over time.
WorkSharp had a similar issue, it happens people. Took hours and only 10 of us got orders in. It’s annoying, no doubt, but it’s a knife not a heart transplant😂. Glad you eventually got it Dood👍
I did that for the stupid worksharp only for them to drop the price 50 bucks about 2 weeks later 😂… I still love it though, wish I would have waited 2 weeks and saved 50 dollars though.
Almost got all 15V knives. I own the 15v shaman and had a 15v Manix and pm2 in cart, but lost the Manix at checkout. Really grateful I got the 15v pm2 though. Only need to find a Manix to complete the 15V trifecta
I got a Native 5 and a para 3 both in the normal steel. Took 5 hours and they don't arrive til tomorrow. I'm jonesing watching you get to slow roll that Native. I paid $108 for both so that's cool.
@@doodysdaggers They came in on time and waaayyyyy below budget. I love the Native. I'm going to have to take it apart and ease the edges a bit inside and out on the scales but that's just a preference thing the knife is great as is. I spent about 2 weeks a couple of years ago deciding between the Para 3 LW and Sage 5 LW and ended up with the Sage 5. I still think the sage is overall a better knife but I am extremely happy to have the Para 3. Again I'll end up Rit dying the camo G10 scales and replacing the lanyard tube but that's just a me thing the knife is excellent. I had to verify they both had the little notch, I went over both knives with a fine toothed comb and can find NO flaws. Hell the edges are way more even than the K390 Delica I got during their sale last month. I seem to have a thing for 3"+/- Spydercos 😀. I couldn't be happier.
What a great deal, love me some Maxamet. I read about someone getting a Paysan and the lock stick (most likely the reason it was in the sale) was so bad he couldn’t undo the frame lock after the first flip. Didn’t realize you were on the central coast, always thought you were in the LA area.
Dude, I got chewed up and spit out during that second’s sale. I had a three knife “mystery box” in my cart for almost two hours and just *couldn’t* check out. Server not responding, have to reenter my information for the 15th time, got dumped onto a weird “careers at spyderco” page. After two hours of having spyderco’s server shoved up my sphincter (and the item IN MY CART going out of stock) I had to go about my day. Later that afternoon, I decided to abuse myself and come back around for the re-shove. Over five…hours…later…and the server was still coughing up blood. I’ve never seen anything like it, man…
I had a pm2 and para3 in maxament like 10 times but couldn’t get it to load! Then it finally did and got all the way to the end and of course went to pay for it and was sold out ! Fu€*!!!
Nice score dood. My seconds should be delivered on 8/2! I had a 15v manix in cart but couldn't check out in time 😢. I saw several people posting that Spyderco had the same problem with their site last year so they should have known it was going to happen this time and will probably happen again. I don't think they will even try to fix it, why waste $ when they have limited quantities and will sell out anyway.
Dood another non notification video... I prob have 20 of your vids to catch up on when i can! This has absolutely been on my Spyderco wish list. ✌️ Freakin awesome!
Maxamet native 5 is 210 dollars at knife center and Amazon. I have the pm2 Maxamet and the para3 Maxamet. I love them both. Probably the para3 a little more because I actually carry the para3. The blade is tumbled or something because all of the edges are rounded off slightly. Congratulations on your native 5 Maxamet.
I have, but not Spyderco’s cruwear. I haven’t been super impressed with it so far, but I’ve probably just been getting shitty cruwear so far. Spyderco always has the best steel!
I scored nothing but i would have gotten that maxamet native 5! Such a sweet knife. I have a MagnaCut version on the way from American edges. I can’t wait, planning on doing a dye to the scales and mxg clip
Based on the the comments on their Insta and over on the subreddit, the previous seconds sale was just as a massive clusterfuck in terms of the website crashing. Would be be cool if they could improve their site but then again they only do the seconds sale one day out of the entire year. As far as I’m aware Spyderco is the only big manufacturer that offers this type of sale so I feel like we shouldn’t complain too much, since they could easily just revert to only doing it in person. I managed to get the 3 knife mystery box, my PC has an Ethernet connection and I was just patient. Only had one tab open and if it crashed I would just refresh and eventually it would just continue where it left off.
I agree, some people are pissed off at Spyderco but I’m not. Yeah they should fix their site. But as you said, they are the only large production knife maker that sells their seconds like this. And they are so damn good in almost every other way, so I can forgive an overloaded website once a year 🤠
@@doodysdaggersyeah I’m still amazed on what they consider a “blemish/flaw” the 15V Shaman was just not centered a bit, the 4V Native Chief had a couple scratches on the pocket clip and then the Polestar had the edge a bit over sharpened on the tip.
I love my native 5 maxamet, takes a beautiful patina. It’s definitely a step above the seki backlocks in terms of how smooth it is and how solid it locks up.
It’s all the knives that have flaws on them. Mistakes from factory. A scratch, a nick, etc. but if it’s somethjng hang effects the function of the knife they just throw it away so you’re for sure getting a good working knife but with a scratch or something. Great deal
I started at drop and spent 1hr until I finally gave up. Then I tried again around 2pm CT and tried again and slowly scored a para 3 maxamet. I couldn't believe they were still in stock. Mine comes Monday.
Yep gettin a Maxamet native 5 next I think! Never tried a native yet really want too so the time has come but jezzz they go for $253 you definitely scored!!!
@@doodysdaggers I wasn’t sure either I swear I seen some ti scales for the native 5 but wasn’t sure if they were compatible with the FRN ones. Hopefully ripps gets those done that would be sick!!!
That is the mark that Spyderco puts on their seconds so they know its a second.
Ah gotcha. So the flaw must be that thing on the clip
That's the only thing I saw, my clip doesn't have those marks .
@@doodysdaggersit’s the one on the blade
I took mine apart and lubed it and it instantly became far far easier to reverse flick and thumb flick. Such a great little knife
Oh really, okay. I’ll try that

Great price. Cool knife. I dont have that steel on a knife. I'm looking forward to the cut test.
Almost had a PM 2 in Maxamet grey g10 scales...had it in my cart $79.00 but im sure its not there now.
Damn that sucks!!
I had a pm2 and para3 in maxament like 10 times but couldn’t get it to load! Then it finally did and got all the way to the end and of course went to pay for it and was sold out ! Fu€*!!!
I did the same thing with the para3! It was my first choice. When that didn’t work I went to this one

Awesome Dood. I tried a few times, but gave up after maybe on and off for an hour or so.
That sucks man. Hope next year they have it fixed
@@doodysdaggers yeah, same. Gotta think they'll do a better job next time. Oh well :)
Nice Spyderco! Great video…. 😊
Have you tried Cruwear yet, really impressed with my Manix 2xl in Cruwear, glad you got a deal. Keep em coming. Thanks
I have, but not Spyderco’s cruwear. I haven’t been super impressed with it so far, but I’ve probably just been getting shitty cruwear so far. Spyderco always has the best steel!
Love Maxamet I have the para 3. It’s a work horse of a knife
Damn Doody that’s a killer deal for some maxamet! I forgot about the sale and by the time I hopped on the website everything was sold out 🤦🏻♂️
Well you didn’t miss much.. most people weren’t even able to get anything because the website was crashing so often
I scored nothing but i would have gotten that maxamet native 5! Such a sweet knife. I have a MagnaCut version on the way from American edges. I can’t wait, planning on doing a dye to the scales and mxg clip

@@doodysdaggers saw someone on YT do like a darker forest green. Thought it looked really good
@@Mike-mi3yw ah yeah that would look great!
👍🏼I didn’t buy anything but I did zip right thru all their pages. Realized I kinda like a couple spydercos. :)
We are gonna convert you one of these days 😉
@@doodysdaggers
Nooooooooo!!!😁
Was this their first time selling seconds or do they do it now & then?
@@andrewfett142 no they do it once in a while. Next time you’ll get one I know it
@@doodysdaggers 😆
Lc 200 on the second Spyderco website?? Caribbean I saw it for $80 but I think I can get it lower..❤❤❤❤ the rush 😂😂😂😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉
Grabbed a PM2 with satin M4. Hopefully it patinas well
Oooooo nice!!
Just got into Spydercos. I'm in trouble
It’s too late for you! 😁
You can always get the blade coated to prevent corrosion. DLC, TiN, AITiCn
True, but I like a little corrosion 😉
They put that nick in it them selves so people on secondhand know its rejected knife
i tried for 6 hours and got nowhere, i should’ve given up earlier ://
What a bummer man..
It took me 2 hours to get a regular para 3 in my cart and check out also
Thanks for the view Dood!!
Kinda want a native 5 magna now 😅
Get one!! That’s a sweet version too because it basically can’t rust

That is shweeet!
If you ever want to trade off one of those for a Kizer frag Micarta Drop bear hit me up. 🐻
