yeah, i was trying to say i don't think they'll do it just to do it, but that future runs would have screws, even if they were runs of knives that were previously pinned. i think they'd have to be requested again by the exclusive dealers though.Bolster wrote: ↑Thu Jan 19, 2023 10:14 pm
I didn't say what I meant, sorry. Try again:
What do you think the chances are, of Spyderco reissuing steels that were in previous pinned Manix LWs...in new screwed Manix bodies? What are the chances we'll ever see, for example, a screw construction LW manix in 20cv again? I'm trying to figure out whether to wait and hope for previous steels in new bodies, or to buy pinned on the used market.
I'm guessing the answer is: the past is the past, if you want a certain disco'd steel in a M-LW, better get one on the used market because chances of that steel coming around again in screw construction are slim. But...I'm not sure. What do you think?
if you want a stainless, you shouldn't need to worry too much about pins. i've seen minor issues with my xhp, but i was able to deal with it and haven't had any since. screws give me the peace of mind that i can take it apart, but i likely wouldn't unless i had to for corrosion i couldn't reach or to change out the ball cage for metal just for fun.
