Since you guys love to own a million knives and love to pay cheap prices (even Spyderco's are considered cheap) you are the problems. Your support is the problem. I buy Surefires and Chris Reeves knives and Arc AAA lights. I pay more for them to support our country. I do not buy, nor will I ever, a Fenix light. Doesn't anyone have any pride left in their country? Go move to China since you love their goods so much.

Oh and sorry to have to "school" you guys but one of the first things I learned that relates to this on so many levels is -

"IF EVERYONE JUMPED OFF A BRIDGE WOULD YOU DO IT?" I personally do not. You idiots can do whatever you like and support who ever you like. We can make a difference. Also, I do not shop at Walmart, are you kidding?

Spyderco jumped off the bridge along with everyone else. Congratulations!

It's funny. You guys want your cheap cool knives so your willing to argue that it's ok, whatever. Jump off the bridge!

LOL. I buy mostly older USA Made spydercos, so sorry again but your stereotype is just more unsubstantiated bull.

Well, I don't know about everybody, but I'm sure many people here simply CANNOT AFFORD to collect Sebbies, or Surefires. Heck, I think the vast majority of the population would think of Spydercos as incredibly expensive(for a knife).

So we should either buy the $400 knives, or not buy any at all?

Good point. I guess if you use a knife as a construction worker or crab fishermen, its the 25th ann. delica or nothing. How dare us non elitest use knives for a purpose! Thats right, they were designed and produced to sit in a Safe, and never even go outside!

:eek: Oh no, I think we have to boycott Chris Reeve from now on: he is using Italian instead of American calf skin! :mad:

http://www.chrisreeve.com/accessories.htm

What is that man thinking? Why is he doing this to his country? I for one would never ever want to support Italian economy. :D

Amazingly enough, I bet you have no problem with how much budweiser we sell to china a year, ever drank heineken or Corona? Ever ate Kobe Beef, own anything that is made from Sony, Toshiba, Samsung? Have a LG Cell Phone? Ever Used Dell, HP, Apple Computers? Then you sir are a hypocrite.

My great grandfather used to be a beekeeper too. I learned a lot from him and I like to eat comb honey too. I love bees. I order honey online from a local place about 50 miles from here and they ship it to me. It's not been heated or anything it's right from the hive.

Good stuff.

Aloha ALL,

I was wondering why I smelled Honey and Peanut butter toast! :D

skateORdie...First of all, try talking WITH us, and not AT us, that approach can *sometimes* alleviate so called, "arguments". Second, ya wanna make a difference? Gimme one of those Reeves knives and make me a believer. I may be able to save up enough money to buy only CRK's! ;) I mean, cripes, ya got 5 of 'em... ;)

Pride in our country? Of course we take pride in our country, does this verse ring a bell:
"O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!"
That's right, land of the FREE. Free to choose what kinds of knives to buy and use, and brave enough to say so.

Sir, your issues are obviously rooted deeper than Spyderco, but hey...at least ya said our cheap knives are "cool"! ;)

Have a God blessed day, and take care. :cool:

I agree with you all I love Peanut butter and raspberry jam together :D .

Oh btw if you haven't tried daywalkers subcom, wharcom or subclaw your missing out bro.

The CLB designs, byrds and Teanacious are some of the best knives for the money period in their price category. You should really try them out before you make a decision.

I own customs, Sebbies and Striders and overall I think these are fine knives, but Spyderco is Spyderco. :D

Btw if you have so many sebbies why do you even buy Spydies.

Aloha aj,

mahalo bro...I suspect he buys Spyderco's because this is the land of the FREE, remember? He is venting, and sometimes we ALL need to do that. I know where he is coming from, but I don't think a good starting point is here for such matters. ;)

Eh, ya guys gotta try PB and Guava jelly on buttered toast! ;) Uh oh, I mentioned butter...wonder if Jeff is gonna wake up now? :D

God bless ya aj, and take care bro!

Awesome...

David, I've heard that a farmer's market just opened near my house that has fresh honey. I'm stoked. I missed today's because I went to my students' high school graduation, but there's always next week.

Peanut butter and honey on toasted bread, a nice cold glass of organic milk, a crunchy apple, some carrots...

Now there's a lunch you can depend on.

Good to see you, Chad!
