Has the steel merry-go-round stopped?

ZDP-189 remains unique because it really is a different type of steel. All the vanadium stuff is just variations on a theme.

I love this Endura 4 with the Emerson hook. As far as self defense goes Its one of the best I've encountered. I gave it a quick once over when I first got it. The the scaling on the back of the knife is raised and uneven. I was willing to deal with it but I later noticed clear drill marks on the in...

Of all the water stones I own the King 6000 is probably my least liked, it's very soft and has never delivered an edge that I was satisfied with... and I have given it many tries ans used different techniques with it. In this class I far prefer a hard stone, my Japan Woodworker natural finishing st...

1. I never cease to be amazed by the naive, virgin like innocence some people on here have about commerce. 2. Cut someone else's throat or someone else will do it for you. 1. I'm completely aware of what a "race to the bottom" means for society. All you have to do is walk into any Walmart...

Why would I care if an imbecile like you agreed with me? Actually, that you don't is a very good sign indeed!

The next thing you know a company is shipping all their jobs overseas and everything is made in China. Then those same people have the nerve to preach about made in the USA, when they do everything they can to save a buck and cut the throats of American small business owners. You mean like Spyderco...

it is worth an extra couple of dollars to support people who support the hobbies we enjoy. See, the thing is, those people ultimately don't "support" anything except you paying them money for a knife, just like anyone else, they're not special because they sell knives. Knifecenter thought...

If you look at Amazon's earnings reports, they lose money on their retail business. They make about $500 million per quarter on their Amazon Web Services, where they have such a large lead over everyone else, it's silly. Amazon can afford to sell items below cost (and drive all competitors out of b...

Just bought a Nilakka from Amazon itself, no third party, for $109, %65 off lmao :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :p And yes, I'm making this post to spite the Knifecenter induced MAP. Considering that I already Amazon'd S110V, the core models and snagged the S90v native for $100, this will be the last Spyderco...

I'll get to the point. Is there NOT going to be Manix 2 XL in S110V version with blue scales, among the S110V models coming in 2016? Because many guys with larger hands, including me, were refraining from buying smaller Spydercos, waiting for the bigger Manix next year? IDK if you know, but the Man...

KnifeCenter was the loudest complainer about Amazon 3rd party pricing, which of course brought about the MAP price floor.

I'll acquire this one eventually from the secondary market. KnifeCenter will never get any of my business, ever.

With the looming 40% MAP in less than a month though, anything better than 40% is beginning to look interesting. Its interesting Spyderco is willing to take a hit in business just because a few retailers are collectively whining about Amazon. The Military is currently selling for $110 on Amazon. Af...

Yep... I've finally ordered a Spydie in SuperBlue! Just a Manbug, mind you, and I'm hoping it will slip under the radar with all the internet Christmas shopping orders ...... I won't bore you with the eye-watering price I had to pay from a Dutch retailer. Let's just say the whinging about the MAP a...

Can someone from Spyderco please report this? Amazon only accepts reports from the rightful owner:

Haha, wow. If you bought that, you deserve it.

Honestly, you were asking for it. I bought a 36 dollar Delica recently but only bc it was from Amazon's own warehouse, and sure enough, it was legit. Thankfully VG-10 can't be faked bc of how the steel has the wavy appearance to its surface after Spyderco finishes it. Part of avoiding this is exerci...

this in an auction from ebay seller firebirdlefty68 : **This Spyderco Paramilitary 2 is new in the box with papers. Coral blue G-10 scales with stainless steel liners,pocket clip and compression lock, lanyard hole. 3.438" flat ground CPM-S30V plain edge blade with satin finish and thumb hole. ...

The problem that I see is a lack of new mid-range models. With the disappearance of the middle class in the U.S.A., maybe Spyderco is just marketing to the only two classes left. /sarc A very valid point. Lets be honest, shills, as there are literally so many shills on this forum: what kind of fish...

I didn't like hearing about the new MAP last week either but I don't think it's fair to jump all over it until we see if/how much the prices actually change for us. It might not increase street price but it may force A to sell at the price B does and although you will pay more if you're used to buy...

Be advised that the knives you buy from Amazon on the cheap may not be genuine Spyderco. Many people have gotten fakes there. Buying counterfeits doesn't help anyone but the theives. 10 of my 11 Spyderco's came from Amazon. All were as advertised, all came from different dealers, none were counterf...
