spyderco sure is sucking

[npad69]

Millennials :D

I thought that was just some kind of myth babyboomers use to poke fun of current generation of kids on YouTube. Now I finally confirmed it with my own eyes.
So glad I'm a genXer

Check out the OP's post history. Mostly just him crying over knives not being released yet or chastising Sal for answering questions instead of getting the knife he wants made. You know, because Sal is the guy physically building all the knives and any minute spent on the forum is one minute less that knives get built.

And even though he's "[lost] complete interest in [Spyderco]", somehow he's still making time to come here and complain. I mean, I'm not going to tell him how to spend his time, but when I'm uninterested in something, I don't spend any of my time paying attention to and posting about the uninteresting thing. I'd much rather invest my time into stuff that interests me. :rolleyes:

Thanks for reminding me to do this Kyle.... when things start to smell. Go go gadget Ignore!

go go go **** yourself! :D :eek: :mad:

I can only assume you mean a 4-letter "f" word. So I decided to heed your advice and feed myself. Pizza has been consumed. Cheesy bread sticks have been ingested. I am no longer hungry. Life is better now.

[ross8425]

Is this for real?

[twinboysdad]

its getting irritating

Safe to say this didn't go like you thought it would?

Not bright enough to realize that pre-orders have nothing to do with Spyderco. LOL

[adancingmonkey]

honestly the delay of the para3 sprint in CF has made me lose complete interest in the company

terrible, absolutely terrible way its been handled...

Tantrum much. LOL

I think “The Tantrum” would be a great name for a knife. If it existed what would it look like and what would the steel be?

Perhaps some explanation?

We are in a somewhat unique position. We work with a number of makers in Japan, Taiwan, Italy and China in addition to our plant in Golden. These are long time partners. we have helped each other over many years. Some are 3 & 4 generations. This gives us the ability to make a larger number of models in any given year. We also like to work with collaborators in designs. This gives us variety in our designs and lets the designers have a larger megaphone while making their way. This also gives our customers a larger pallet of product, all high quality for our customers to choose from.

This requires fair amount of coordination in R&D, product development, shipping steels all over the world of different types and thicknesses. Q.C.ing everything all along the way. Different makers work at different rates, different foundries the same, some designs are harder to make, etc. We try to bring out the models in an orderly manner, but do to the constraints listed above, it is not always possible.

pretty sure the s90v / cf sprint is done in golden

you guys dont have your **** together tight enough to where a US made knife cannot come to market in time?

screwed the pooch on the rhino, now this...

And how many 1,000s of perfect knives is your company cranking out? The problem here is you are "pretty sure" about everything, yet know nothing.

Bud, ya gotta understand that spyderco has at least 5 factorys making knives, patience is key especially when its a sprint. Have some manners especially when you're talking to the man him self Mr. Sal Glesser.

[SF Native]

Pretty sure kristi is going to give you a time out in about three, two,...

And for the record, I buy spyderco because of the rhino. It’s a model no other maker would bring to the market and sal has the cajones to drop a whole shipment instead of releasing them when they didn’t meet his standard. That’s not screwing the pooch, it’s credibilty.

Huge disappointment with the Rhino

I too guessed he meant FEED. Just reheated some Mississippi roast for my lunch while on my lunch break. Those who haven't tried one of these before should make one.
