Re: EBay

I'd bet if selling fakes hurt eBay's bottom line, they'd act on it immediately!
It looks like there are more Spydie fakes sold there than most other knife companies.
I would really love to see this garbage stop.

Re: S90V DLC Yojimbo 2 (coyote brown) Exclusive

$200 is about the very top end for me on that one. The CS s90v Manix LW was $119 shipped.
Hoping there is more info coming soon.

Re: The SPYDERENCH? A True Hidden Treasue

It's been a while since I've heard anyone say anything about the SPYDERENCH. For all you new folks it was Spyderco's extremely unique multi-tool that they sold during two different time periods. It was/is anything but conventional and it was not like any other multi-tool I've ever encountered. I st...

Re: price increase

I also get a kick reading how guys with no manufacturing experience decide what prices should be. It usually boils down to what they can afford. I worked process improvement for American Standard for 6 years. Most people have no clue whatsoever what goes into creating a product from raw materials. B...

Re: Yojimbo tip

Totally sick of knife reviews as most just repeat what they've heard. I am sick of hearing blade to handle ratio complaints and weak tips.

Re: Manix 2 scales question

If you have your heart set on a Manix with custom scales I would say to pick up a second hand G10 model off the BF Exchange. There are TONS of them available!!
I would NOT mess with a LW.
Here's a pic of one of mine. These are Allen Putman scales. VERY comfy in hand!
