Spyderco is the Rolex of the knife world

[Sonorum]

Everyone here would own a pm2 tanto with dlc blade and Jade scales at $199 if they could

Why would you make that assumption? I have no interest in owning a tanto PM2

Question...did you actually try to buy one of these exclusives when they dropped? Sounds to me like you're just ticked because you didn't get one

Yeah that statement just isn't true. I would never buy a tanto PM2 let alone another PM2 in any blade shape. I have one, it's ok, I like other spydies way better.

Spyderco is more like Swatch then they are like Rolex and they have been for a long time.

In the commercially made knife world I pretty much have to agree that Spyderco has the same respect and status as ROXEX does in the world of watches. As much as I am hooked on Spyderco blades and have been since the mid to late 90s I still don't see them ranking up there with many of the "custom made knives" that are made by real, highly trained bladesmiths who take weeks if not months to make even one knife sometimes.

But comparing Spyderco to super high caliber custom bladesmiths is even more profound than "Apples vs Oranges" comparison. They are two different beasts all together. But as far as user friendly, high quality and dependability are concerned I think the rating you give Spyderco is highly justified.
