Re: MAP pricing policy favors amazon. Bad for vendors (that are not Amazon) and consumers.

Wow the man himself responded to my thread, very cool! It would take far too many words to express how much I like your products, In short they are awesome. Well enough of my fanboyism and let me get on to my actual reply. In the days before MAP pricing and online sales tax I don't think I ever orde...

Even if they aren't there plenty of 3rd party sellers that will still be listing on Amazon. For some of these 3rd party sellers they are actually affiliates of Amazon thus you get the benefits of the prime shipping and Amazon no hassle returns.

MAP pricing policy favors amazon. Bad for vendors (that are not Amazon) and consumers.

Map pricing + sales tax + free fast shipping + reputation + return policy = Amazon is favored It seems that one of the main arguments for any MAP pricing policy is that it helps brick and mortar stores and small online businesses that way big retailers like Amazon will not beat small retailers on pr...

Re: Was the P'Kal wave opener angle/shape changed or is this wrong?

Hi David, Some things are less fun than others. When I told the factory manager what I wanted, he thought it odd, but managed to do it. I can't imagine it leaving our plant in that condition, so I question how "new" it really was. Hey TA, Where did you buy it? I'll give Charlynn a "h...

I always thought Spyderco knives looked weird too until I began using and carrying them. Now any knife without a big hole in the blade looks weird.
Same here, I was not sure what to make of the appearance of Spyderco knives at first. Then I tried one.... Now I have 42 of them....

Not completely. I was able to get it to rotate only slightly. After that it does not want to any more. I pressed the tab firmly aginst a good wooden workbench to make it rotate, I was concerned about using more secure means due to the risk of damage.

Was the P'Kal wave opener angle/shape changed or is this wrong?

I got a new P'Kal date code KS and the wave opener rod is slightly bent downward, in all the pictures it is straight. https://i.imgur.com/rmd7hJe.jpg I have never seen another like this, was this a recent change or is mine just plain wrong? There are no signs of damage anywhere on the knife to indic...
