I've seen you say several times that "nobody will address what Sal said", well, consider it "addressed".
When I buy a Spyderco, BM, ZT or any other knife from a dealer with my hard earned legally made money then as far as I'm concerned, I don't care what the company "thinks" I should be doing with MY knife. They made it and shipped it, that's where it ends.
Whether I want to flip it for a million dollars, throw it into a deep lake, or take a blow torch to it, its MY knife and MY decision and NO ONE else's to make. Their "concern" ends when I bought and paid for it with one exception: The Warranty, if it breaks or I have issues with it that aren't of my doing, then that's as far as I want the company to carry their "concern".
