Unless there was an actual problem with it, I doubt it.

Constant Quality Improvement
I thought there was a page dedicated to explaining CQI on :spyder: .com but I can't find it... maybe it was in a byte at some point. Here is a quote from Sal back in 2001.
sal wrote: ↑Sat Jun 16, 2001 10:01 pmHi MePlat. Welcome to the Spyderco forum.
Our purpose in improvements to a model are to refine and create a better, safer, more functional tool. When we learn a better process or customers point out potential improvements, these are added.
We like to think of it more as "evolution" of a pattern. If you are not using the old knife, a new one will serve no purpose.
Most of the refinements are small, but serve a function. occassionally, we make a larger improvememnt.
Industrially, it would be called CQI or "Constant Quality Improvement".
When we want to create the "newest, latest and greatest", we design a totally new patttern like the ATR, Salsa, Temperance or Meerkat.

Thanks. Excellent, doesn't surprise me that Spyderco is like this.

Re: Crazy deals @ Sierra and other places
Has there been any CQI on the Dice? It has the same problem as the Advocate. I searched the forum but didn't find any mention of a fix.
Re: Crazy deals @ Sierra and other places
The Sprig is for sale at GP for $159 and Mantra 1 for $149. Had to pick up a sprig at that price. Not sure if this is a mistake or not...

At a glance I think KC has the lowest closeout prices so far:

Thank God, the BHQ prices are hardly a discount at all. Better prices on ebay.abbazaba wrote: ↑Wed Oct 17, 2018 2:08 pmAt a glance I think KC has the lowest closeout prices so far:

I jumped the gun and got a One eyed Jack from BHQ. A lot cheaper at Knifecenter but on the plus side I'd rather support BHQ.
