Can't afford the gas for their old cars? Or are you really having a go at the fact they own several cars? :rolleyes:

What Sal and Gail spend their money on is their business and no one else.

If you have a problem with a warranty issue, why do this? NO CLASS. :mad:

For the record... That "other" company rate as a -10 on the 1 to 10 scale of companies in my opinion. Spyderco are cool, the gang are cool, the users are cool... its all cool. The "other" company can burn in that orrible place with fire, brimstone and tridents up the tradesmans e...

No problem

Llan in this context refers tp 'Parish' and its the parish of Tudno, though this was changed to dudno as is often common in such use of grammar and context.

Thus Llandudno means the parish of Tudno

I have been testing a Salt I serrated for a few months. (thanks Sal!) The edge holding to answer the question has proven to be equal to 440C grade steel and the H1 steel has proven a sinch to sharpen. I find that the edge normally starts to roll rather than chip or break. This tells me that this is ...

No worries guys! I have been carrying this knife all week and I am starting to get the "knack" of using the compression lock. I use my finger to move the lock and flick the blade closed. Works a treat though not to be done with people about, looks a bit scary... Love this "little"...

Paramilitary review

First of all an appology, my camera is playing up so while I send it away for repair, you will have to do with a couple of pics I found on the net. I have been a real fan of the full sized Military for some time. In fact I own 4 of these knives! However the full sized Military for all its strengths ...

Bison I think was the name for the new Spyderco giant folder... 5.5" blade and a compression lock. It was very tasty and I certainly would buy one!

My VG10 Cal Jr I was given by Sal and Joyce at IWA, my American flag 'Q' knife and my Wayne Goddard C16S. My first Spyderco was an Endura (fully serrated) and I gave that to my dad. He loves that knife and it was a constant companion of mine for a couple of years. I miss that knife, but ever time I ...

Its a sad reflection of life when we believe that going in hard is the only way to get results. It is also sad when so many insults are traded when a customer has an apparently genuine gripe.
