View Full Version : Spyderco in New York?

Hello,



I am planning a trip to New York city this November. As a foreigner I cannot pass this opportunity up to acquire a (for me)cheaper Spyderco. The dealer locator in the Spyderco website indicated that there are quite a few dealers in NY. But which of them carry the full line, or just a whole lotta Spyderco's ?



Does anyone know a good dealer/knifeshop in NY that carries an extensive line of knives, Spyderco in particular, in or close to Midtown NY? Please post an address

if possible.



Thanks,



Wouter

I think Paragon Sports on West 18th street is pretty well stocked... Checked it out last November.. <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

Ha Wouter, dat kan dus in 't Nederlands ...

Yep Samo, I was there 2 weeks ago and they have a nice selection of factory stuff and a very nice selection of handmades (price though aiaiai).
On Broadway I believe nr 590 (close to Union Square if I remember correctly) and also a bit more downtown (460 or something) are nice shops. I bought a numbered Centofante 2 on Canal Street (Army shop, 4 or 5 blocks west of Broadway).
The street north of the Woolworth Building (close to the municipal building) has also a trekking shop but their Spyderco selection is limited.

Veel plezier in NY
Philip

Hi Wouter. The New York Custom Knife Show is in early November. When are you going?

Thanks for the suggestions everyone, but it seems my New York plans have been foiled<img src="sad.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>. It doesn't look like I am going anytime soon. Perhaps somewhere in May/June 2002.

Sal, your suggestion about the NY custom knifeshow seems rather agonizing now <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>. Ah well, my time will come, but only after graduating University it seems. Again thanks for the help,

Wouter
