Re: Cheap diamond stones — you probably want some

They will work a month or two till the diamonds fall off. With expensive diamonds, your paying for flatness, a good bond and consistant diamond size. Just get a marble slab and some silicon carbide. I have under $16 in a set up like that I use to lap whet stones. Would sharpen the same as sand paper...

Re: Shipping of internal parts

After trying to get a simple faulty pivot screw shipped to me, and that being a 4 month battle of calls and emails, I have no doubt that spyderco is as you say not capable of providing internal parts to customers.

Re: Knife & Watch

Had on one of my grand seikos today, and had both a helle harding and a bench made 531 mel pardue. Apparently the photos my galaxy takes are too high of resolution for spyderco. They say it shows the flaws in the frn molding.

Re: Extra Large Backlock Salt

That would be a really big folder. Again, would it sell enough? Spyderco has to predict that, via educated guess. A lot of models not selling is spydercos own doing. When they make models have a long wait, limited production, release the colors and materials I want months after I bought a different...

The Insingo. The Native Chief follows its curvature perfectly.
But I value the stronger tip, the swedge, and the HHG on the CRK.

The Spydiechef is also good.

I didn't know how to vote for this, BTW.
And the crkt is priced better

I think both sides of the argument have made fair points. I'd like to keep the topic from de-railing now though please.
Spuderco gets touchy about knives being dissaseembled. They put them together with magic smoke or something.

Good news is our scandi blades dont have screws. 😁😁😁
