Shaman 15V, Bad QC

[Airlsee]

Opinions aside, I can guarantee that Nick is not a flipper, and cares as much about Spyderco as a company as anyone here. This should not become something that divides us.

Keep it civil.

[WilliamMunny]

I will put it out there again, put some new wood scales on it and you have a winner.

But no one likes flippers, the OP’s post can be read that he is a flipper, but it can also be read he is upset that one knife has issues and now he can’t sell it.

Maybe, but, he is certainly kindling for a lot of arguments here.

[Airlsee]

I hope you are confused. Mushroom (Nick) is not kindling anything, he stood up as a voice of reason. Then was accused of being a flipper by some reactionary newb. That's absolutely ridiculous and you should know better CabFrank...

[Mrj]

It's dry G10. Just needs a little moisture. You could probably rub the oil from your nose and wipe your finger on that scale and even out the color.

Yes exactly

[Fireman]

Much ado

He does seem to like to start arguments though, there's a history of that. If you're referring to me (newb? um, no...) calling him a "closet flipper", that was tongue in cheek, as the emojis I used should clearly indicate.

The torches and pitchforks were already out. The angry mob just didn't like what I had to say.

Just making sure you're aware but you do know that you are the only reason I'm even interacting with you in the first place, right? I didn't start anything. I would have never paid you any attention had you not made yourself known to me.

It’s just a knife though, you don't have to take things so personally. You’re trying so hard to make it personal against me now, it’s just kind of odd at this point. You’re not contributing anything of value to this thread by continuing to go after me. (Or the OP, for that matter) At least I tried to help the OP.

A) I wasn’t talking to you.

B) YOU are taking it personally and trying to make it about yourself now. Byeeee!

In that last post I quoted, you were literally talking about me, how else should I take it? (Thats rhetorical, by the way. This whole disagreement is futile.) We should at least be able to agree to disagree. I understand your point of view towards flippers. Contrarily, flippers don't bother me.

OP (spydiefan01), if you're still looking to resolve what you believe to be a quality control issue with your knife and unable to do it yourself, your best course of action is to contact Spyderco directly. You might also be able to contact the retailer you bought it from to see if an exchange is possible but given the limited nature and high demand of this sprint, that seems unlikely.

Last word type, huh? (Yes, I realize this post is contrary. )

[Erich]

I have 3 of these knives and only this one looks like this, horrible QC, I cant even sell this

LOL good! It's always good to see flippers getting shafted. Hopefully you lose money on this.

[Erich]

Lots of unnecessary anger towards the OP.

Owning three of these knives does not automatically make anyone a flipper. Could very well be a collector or someone buying pre-need replacements. Maybe wants to keep one as a safe queen, one as a user, and re-sell the last one for a bit of a profit. (Because he can.)

Regardless of what his plans are for the knives, that shouldn't matter to anyone here but him. What should matter is the potential issue with quality control.

OP, you could always contact Spydercos warranty and repair department to try and resolve the issue with them.

The photo you posted definitely shows a blemish on the scale but its difficult to really see what it is. I would recommend taking some higher quality photos that show the blemish better.

You're being obtuse. Accounts defending flippers should be automatically banned.

Think of it as a convenience fee - Fight the crowds to get one like they did or pay a little extra to browse freely and buy from them when it’s easy.

This is exactly why people get mad at flippers. It is hard for people that want one to get, in part, because people that have no intention to use or keep them buy several just to resell for a profit. Same thing as ticket scalpers. There is nothing "convenient" about it. They add inconvenience to the process and tax you for it.

Now, if they want to sell it at cost, sure, that can be helping fellow travelers. If someone picks up 2 copies of a sprint run with the intent to keep one and offer the other back to the community at cost, that is great. You should do that on a site that allows it and everything is in the open though.

[mongo1958]

feelings about flipping are irrelevant. if this guy just posted that he had a shaman sprint with some issues instead of saying he got three, would everyone here be treating this thread the same way? if anything, having three copies gives more credibility to the qc issue claim. these knives are too expensive and hard to get to have issues.

I think you and Mushroom have made very good points.
There is another post that Taz started called "Kindness of your hearts" that points out the true nature of the people in this Forum, even though the group was taken advantage of by the person of interest in the thread.
While I personally did not attack the OP in this thread, my comments did not build up and encourage and for that I apologize.

Excuse me, I meant to say *willfully* obtuse.

A spade is a spade; political correctness is cowardice. Flippers steal knives from legitimate users only to upcharge later. They dont care about the knives. And if you think "muh free market" well i'm sorry to tell you that the market wasn't free in the first place because of the MAP price control, which encourages inflation generally.

[Hopsbreath]

I still genuinely want to know what the QC issue is with the knife and keep checking in to see if OP ever came back.
