I was taken advantage of while in Golden, Colorado, U.S.A Earth...

I dropped into Spyderco today as the polymer ball bearing cage on my Manix2 came apart.

While dropping it off for repair two of the Spyderco employees took advantage of my fragile state (due to my close proximity to so much CPM S30V I think), and forced me to purchase this!!!!

I'm terrified that when I go back to pick up my old Manix2 something like this might happen again...

Don't be terrified. It WILL happen. Now you know and you can make peace with it.

To force you to buy a great knife they could put a gun to your head or put the knife in your hand. Hard to tell which is the strongest motivation. :D

Why those dirty rotten people, to take advantage of an addict is horrible.
I will take a trip down there and complain... Do they have any more Manix xl's in stock?

Congrats. LX is a great knife. I always liked it more than M2.

Can't wait for the new full flat ground Manix2 in DLC to match this one.

It's a REALLY good thing that I don't live close to Spyderco. I would be getting "taken advantage of" on an all too regular basis. It's bad enough having such easy access to the great on-line dealers. It may not be a good thing when you are on a first name basis with Jim, Jeff, Roger, Annie, Ashley, etc. All great folks, and a pleasure doing business with.

LOL! Happens to me way too often as well...they're sneaky like that. My only hope is that they're out of stock when I stop by. :)

Of all the ways of being taken advantage of this seems to be the most pleasant :D Enjoy the XL :)
