Kristi, I appreciate your in depth response to my question. Believe me, I much rather you guys spend your resources on making your most excellent knives. NGK didn't list XS on their site, I may give this another go and order one directly from you. Stenny, global shipping from the usps isn't that exp...

spyderco vests: sized way large?

OK, let's try this again in a bit more of a constructive way. I recently ordered and immediately returned a spyderco vest. I'm trying to figure out whether or not this product line runs very large or the one I received was mistagged. The vest was a medium as is all of the other clothing I have from ...

Perhaps it's because nowhere in any of your posts do you give as much as a hint that you gave either New Graham or Spyderco the opportunity to correct the situation, before venting your spleen here. Did you call NGK? Did you call Spyderco customer service? Did you do anything to attempt resolution ...

And what is there to complain about larger arm holes!?!? Don't we all like the larger holes in our Spyderco products!?!? :D It was comically large it was so extreme. It's like when you see little 3-5 year old kids trying on mommy and daddy's clothes and they're swimming around in them because it's ...

If I could edit my title I would, but I can't. I already said that. I also don't appreciate being selectively quoted by some people and the condescending nature of some of the replies is far more offensive than anything I've said. It's so incredibly mature of so many of you to pass sweeping judgemen...

your best bet is to check what the going rate is on ebay and on the forum with a search and then go a little below that.

I'm really confused here. I have no clue why some people are totally bent out of shape. I'm going to have to hazard a guess that people speak/write differently in various parts of the country and what may be the norm in one area may be seen as offensive elsewhere. My intent was not to offend. My poi...

The thing is I'm a medium sized male and literally all of my clothes are mediums. I'm 5ft8in tall and weigh 155lbs. I think it is reasonable to expect a company to maintain consistant sizing across their product line up; if a medium polo fits perfect and a medium tshirt fits perfect then a medium ve...

spyderco vest sizing is grossly inaccurate

So, I took delivery of a medium fleece vest from spyderco via new graham yesterday. As usual new graham shipped promptly and was a pleasure to deal with. To my dismay when I tried on the vest it was FREAKIN HUGE. My girlfriend had purchased a medium sized tshirt and medium sized polo from the new sp...

there is no such thing as the force of which you speak(sorry, physics gripe)

centripetal acceleration is a center seeking acceleration exhibited by a rotating object.
