Microtech LCC in S30V and carbon fiber. Though the Grey Calypso Jr is still the favorite and finds more practical use. Black Dodo on the way.

Although I agree that there are plenty of examples of work being farmed out to cheap foreign labor throughout the economy, from tech to manufacturing, it's not taking jobs away from American workers if there are no American workers currently creating products that fill that niche in the market.

Chinook question

I just received a new Chinook and, although generally impressed with the knife, there are a few fit/finish problems. I wanted to know if I should just return the knife for a refund or send it to Spyderco to get fixed. Specifically, there are two issues: 1) the thumb stop is not evenly ground, meanin...
