Re: Spyderco Black Friday Map Holiday Sales 2023!

Poor Jamie at SMKW. It has fallen on her shoulders to fix the problem. Talked to her this morning and reinstated my order at the same BF price. To answer my own question, no, SMKW doesn't keep your CC info. Or, apparently, your address, since I had to give it all over again by phone. I spoke with J...

Re: MT40P – HIC Mule Team Dropping Soon!

I missed the mule drop and will likely miss the next, but I’d be happy to purchase a regular production model whether it be a small fixed blade or a folder of some kind. Just one vote, hope it counts.

Re: Crazy Good Deals Part 2!!

That special deal SMKW had a few months back turned out to be not so good. My pre-order was refunded (yes, I was charged)a couple of days ago. I assume it’s because the knife couldn’t be shipped before the yearly price increases. Dack is far from the only retailer canceling orders. The only order Da...

Re: eBay condones counterfeit items.

Thank you for sharing your experience, JRinFL. It would be most helpful, whenever you're able, to share a link directly to the products on eBay. With links, we can take action. Without them, unfortunately, our options are limited. As always, we appreciate your support! Kristi Responded in PM

eBay condones counterfeit items.

I’ve reported several counterfeit sellers over the years with no response, but the last few I have received an email acknowledging the reports. Two of the recent three I reported I have received a follow up stating in part “ We looked into your report and didn’t find the listing to be in violation o...

Thanks to Spyderco for the much, much improved shopping experience.

Re: Crazy Deals that are Non Spyderco

MidwayUSA has three different ColdSteel SRK exclusives in 3v for $109.99 shipped. FDE, OD green, and blaze orange. Color matched sheaths as well. That’s the upside, downside is that under GSM, there is little to no support.

Re: Knife trends you just don't understand?

It’s interesting to me how many people will expend so much time trying to talk someone out of buying or doing something just because they themselves do not like it. Expressing your opinion is good and encouraged, but some put in a lot extra effort in talking something down. More amazing is that many...

There are lots of solutions to avoiding bad customer experiences and I'm sure Spyderco will select one if they choose to do another online sale.

Thank you Spyderco listening, learning, and trying to do better. It's all one can ask. For others, stop "tugging the forelock". It is not a privilege to buy second rate goods . However, Spyderco is blessed to have such loyal customers. What would you call it? An inalienable right? An enti...

Re: SE Edge Angles

Fluting can increase stiffness of steel, so it is *possible* that both serrations and coarse sharpening are acting like flutes and increasing the stiffness of blade steel. Very difficult to prove without extensive testing or fairly high end computer modeling.
