Re: price increase?!
Nope not feeding this one anymore. "muh trolls" Let's just get this one last thing clear...you're not a troll because of your opinion, you're a troll because of this nonsense. Grow up and speak your opinion like an adult and maybe people will take you seriously. There's nothing wrong with...

Re: price increase?!
Nope not feeding this one anymore. "muh trolls" A classic excuse people use on internet forums to avoid confronting hard truths. You for example literally complained about how poor sales are taking out so many good knives, but then you turn around and essentially say that no one should be...

Re: Benefits of Sprint Runs
From a steel perspective, what does Spyderco learn from their sprint runs? That it's a useful marketing tool to trick people into paying more money for something that isn't really better than what they already own. Basically there's three levels of steel out there these days for folding knives: 1) ...

Re: price increase?!
I live with the prices. Nobody forces me to buy anything and crying about it doesn't change anything. Speak with your wallet and that's all there is to it. What bothers me the most is how so many awesome models are coming out and getting discontinued due to poor sales. So you cry about poor sales b...

Re: Cleaning & Maintenance of Spyderco Ceramic Sharpening Stones?
All right I'm aware that we've discussed this in the past but it has been a while since I've seen it talked about at length. Speaking of cleaning and maintaining the ceramic Spyderco stones>> and I'm not only talking about the stones in the Spyderco 204 Sharpmaker but the 302 Benchstones, Slipstone...

Re: Steel Testing YouTube Videos
Hi all, I’m watching a YouTube channel that compares blade steel from different manufacturers, Spyderco PM2s and Para 3s being common comparables. The author suggests the heat treat on all the spyderco models / steels are the same, respective to the test conditions and his results. Check it out and...

Re: yet another "price increase"
*Talking to myself* I never had a problem with the 5% yearly increase to keep up with set margins. But please don't increase MAP anymore. It won't bring back Blockbuster...or JC Penney...or Woolworth. Only winners are customers who live within 200 miles of a fully stocked Spyderco dealer who gets t...

Re: yet another "price increase"
This isn’t that complicated. If they are priced too high then the market will sort it out. That is how our economy works. The truth is that most folks who are upset about this already have more folding knives than they need. This is about wants and not needs and thus it is trivial. Remember, desire...

Re: yet another "price increase"
d'uh...a few things :confused: a. Why didn't hang on to and keep your old Spydies? It's not like you're paying a yearly fee or insurance for them after purchase, and not only have you already paid for them they are more valuable now! :o b. Cold Steel, Benchmade, ZT and many other brands have increa...

yet another "price increase"
I remember in 2015 when the price floor was installed because "muh Amazon" then Amazon totally and faithfully complied with the price floor. So Sal jacked the prices up again by increasing the price floor because "muh Amazon." I guess you can't use the same excuse three times in ...
