Maybe he has and you weren't paying attention.Daveho wrote: I don’t belive Sal has said why spyderco wont SELL internals?
"Every month we get numerous customers getting on the forum and complaining publicly that we are screwing our customers. They want to have everything done the way they want it because “they have a reason”. We don’t expect them to understand all that is involved, and often they refuse to because they simply want what they want, which is often unreasonable and more costly to us than the solutions we have already put into place."
Here's a few I came up with:
-cost
-cqi improvements and other in-line production changes
-size of product line, number of models
-from many different international production facilities
-limited production life of many models
-outside chance of potential legal liability
-denied ability of Spyderco to evaluate qc issues and potential defects first-hand
