Well put Kristi.

Phew! I've been away from the forum for a few months or so (new job, house move etc) and came back to all... This?

Glad to see some wounds healing- this is a good place.

nirvanero · #44

Things were getting ugly between some people and then I knew about the forum knife, so I think nothing happened that can't be easily fixed... I've known much worse.

Thank you Kristi and all the people making this place that special.

We listen to you, each and every one of you. You wouldn't believe some of things we've heard, but we still listen. This isn't just about a business or just about knives. This is about people. This place is about people. We do this because we genuinely care. Believe me, I wouldn't spend the time it's taken to write this if I didn't care.

Kristi

Very well said, Kristi. Thank you for taking the time to write this.

Thanks for the post Kristi. I hope the forum gets back to normal quickly, as I miss the positive vibe that is normally here.

Thank You! I very much appreciate the tone and professionalism of this forum, and that Spyderco is a people company with a tremendous passion for their work. Where else do you feel like your input is listened to and considered. Where else do you get to talk to the OWNER?? I have met Sal at Blade, and Gail at Spyderco, she talked to me for an hour plus, and gave me the full tour. Real people who deserve our respect because they respect us as the customer. All of this must be why I own 228 Spyderco knives, including the Bob Lum Burgandy Tanto I bought from Jim Howe this evening. My Son is getting started and owns 24. (19 years old)

I appreciate that no foul language is tolerated, and you can get any question answered in amazing detail. We have a SPECIAL forum thanks to Spyderco and Kristi, we all have to do our part.

One great reason to hang out here. Surround yourself with folks who make it look like you don't have a "problem".

That's it!. Now I feel much more relieved... :)

BAL · #55

Yeah, when the wife says
"how many knives do you have", you can say "not near as many as Deacon, Doc or Tony.
Them guys have a SERIOUS problem. I don't get it."

Then when she walks away shaking her head at you like she always does. you can mumble
to yourself, "wish I had that many, those lucky ....., I wish I had their problem"

Absolutely. Where else can we go and have people not think we are nuts when we talk about having so many knives, or need to find out something specific about a knife. We are left, right, old and young and we still find the things we have in common and talk about it nicely.....most of the time anyway. I like that personally.

The acceptance here is only based on forum conduct, the respect you give others and the willingness to communicate rather than dictate to or control the direction of the conversation.

The easiest way to get along here is for me to remember that I am a guest and act accordingly. It's really that simple.

I get this from my wife. She knows I have sold off quite a few recently and she still makes a big deal because my Pelican case is still 60% filled. She asked me if I cried when I had to let some of them go. She just doesn't understand me like you guys do... :D

Thanks Taz , I have not posted much for some time glad to hear some common sense , refreshing . Regards MG2

gaj999 · #59

Wow. Sounds like I made two good choices. Taking a vacation away from civilization, and choosing not to read the forum knife thread beyond the first couple of posts. Sometimes you just get lucky. It's so easy to get sucked into saying things you regret.

I'm grateful to be part of this forum and for the positive vibes it has always been! I guess I'm lucky that after checking the forum knife and decided it's beyond me, I have yet to check it again, because I have been also into life changing events personally.

Still, it's nice to see things turning back. It's a rare thing nowadays to have a company that really care about customer, and the pride infused into the product, and the humility to admit mistakes. I wish Spyderco and all of the family (in broader term) happiness and contentment!
