Re: Taking apart knives
Generally, I dislike it when companies purposely go out of their way to make a product non-serviceable to the end user. But that's only because I'm generally my own warranty. It just makes it harder to fix, but ultimately, I still usually wind up getting the job done. I fix everything I can, whether...

I don't think he even has a Maxamet PM2, he just likes trying to cause trouble (like every post he made last night, not just this thread). :rolleyes:

Re: Maxamet PM 2
When this grind is applied to thin narrow tip = bent. Not sure why it makes such a big difference to whether the blade profile is off due to a lack of the stock being straight as forged or whether it was mishapen due to grinding difficulties, the result is the same. David Still wrong. Not bent. :ro...

Re: Maxamet PM 2
WTF are you talking about? Bent = Bent Get over it. David But they are NOT bent! :rolleyes: That's what I'm trying to tell you! Please open your mind for a second, and let me explain: Ever hear of an asymmetrical grind? That is where there is a different type of grind on each side of the blade. Bus...

Re: Maxamet PM 2
No. Bent equals BOTH sides of the blade displaced equally, in the same direction, from the centerline of the blade. These blades were NOT bent! :rolleyes: Again, go back and read the description of the problem much more carefully. ;) And yes, you're trolling. Painfully obviously so. Do you even own ...

I guess they just want this one to go away..... maybe a blot on their reputation?

Re: Taking apart knives
Did you notice how the quality dropped when some of the more well-known RC companies went to the RTR’s? I sure did. Poorly paid assembly labor I’m sure. :rolleyes: That’s about when I started building my own stunt/racing quad copters. :cool: ;) Gotta admit, I’d kind of love a build-it-yourself kit ...

Re: Taking apart knives
After reading Mr Glesser's post I reckon Spyderco would probably be better off going down the IKEA track and selling knives disassembled with assembly instructions. :cool: If you can't put it all together yourself you could get your Mrs to do it or your local dealer would do it for you at a nominal...

Re: Taking apart knives
Sal, that’s terrible. It really is. :( It’s ALL about integrity, which unfortunately, is disappearing in our society. I think the impersonal, faceless transaction of ordering online empowers people to do things that they would never do in person. Like sending back a knife they’ve disassembled. :roll...

Re: What happens when you let a knife knut play with a $70k laser scanner...
It’s pretty cool how well it works!!! Notice how it even picked up the Spyderco Bug on the pocket clip? :D (Did I mention, this scanner was purchased to laser scan a spacecraft ... :eek: :cool: ) Ideally, the targets are placed on the object, which is large enough that the targets are basically irre...

Re: Maxamet PM 2
Nobody really knows for sure, as I don’t think anyone from Spyderco officially confirmed the issue. All speculation.

Re: Maxamet PM 2
I’m loving mine. The grind issue was blown WAY out of proportion IMO. It’s a very minor issue, really.
Hoping to see another run of them, as I want a second one for myself. Starting to regret gifting two of these instead of S110v’s.

Re: What happens when you let a knife knut play with a $70k laser scanner...
Interesting how it wouldn't pick up the pivot screw on the left side. Reflection? Apologies I missed your reply. Good eye! :D Actually, what happened there is that due to being a highly reflective, flat, round surface, the scanner mistakenly picked that spot up as a “location target”. Location targ...
