The subject matter was not in question, of course I wholeheartedly agree that any problems should be aired and solved, I just don't agree that posting a thread with such a provocative title and little substance is the way to go about it, that's just my opinion not spyderco company policy.Cliff Stamp wrote:He is providing feedback, if it had been positive would there have been a reaction, a demand for "proof" - no. This shows a clear bias and an obvious problem which tends to promote disinformation. The guy had a problem, he didn't rant and attack the maker, or designer or even the knife.
He bought an expensive knife, he used it in a manner that a $5 knife can handle and his expensive knife failed. He deserved to be upset and there is no reason to excuse the behavior of the knife or support people who attempt to silence such information.
I have never, not one time, in over 15 years of interacting with Spyderco about their products, been asked not to discuss my experiences on any knife forum. In fact it is promotion of open discourse, among other things, which always leads me back to Spyderco even if at any given moment there isn't a design which catches my eye.
The rest is history, an abundance of misquotes and misunderstanding. Best wishes to the Op hopefully we can get some good information when the knife is returned under warranty.
