Glad to hear that about their CS department

Don't be blamin' me if that ol' spidey gets mean and takes more than yer willin' ta loose

It's nice to see positive comments about a US knife company. So often on the internet all you get is the negative.

Spyderco makes a quality product (even if they are butt ugly) and stands behind what they sell.

PHIL................YOU BEEN STAREIN' AT YER OWN BUTT AGAIN????


YEAH, IT IS NICE TO BE TREATED LIKE A CUSTOMER, BY A COMPANY ALSO
NOT JUST A SALE.........












***************DISCLAIMER FOR THE TOO DARN SERIOUS**************

(FRIENDLY JOKE PPL)

Good deal buggie, glad to hear it.

I have had nothing but good dealings with Spyderco for 15 or so years now.

Yeah, I'm hooked too.

I don't own a single Spyderco (ugly knife) mainly because of their prices (ugly knife) but every time I mention anything (ugly knife) about it on a forum (ugly knife) the loyalty of their customers is right up there with the Benchmade Bali high clubbers so they must be doing something right (ugly knife)

Did I mention I think they are an UGLY knife?

I very happy they took care of you Junebug . Their service has a great reputation.

YEA what Wazu said

Sal did once say that “…tractors don't have to look like Ferraris”

Here is mine when it was new...I carry it almost every day when I do not
have my Crawford in my britches...I like it, cuts well, holds a edge, easy deploy,
got no complaints at all about it, homely, maybe, ugly, not !!!

The subject Josh started this thread with is Spyderco's customer service. My only contact with that part of their business was a good experience. (while I was at the factory store, she sharpened my Delica and did a good job) One for Josh.

On a different chicken, as far as looks go, they do nothing for me. I do have to say though, as unattractive as I find it, that thumb hole is light years ahead of ANY thumbstud opening knife I've ever handled. It's the only thumb opener I never had to struggle with.

Carry a Spydie every day!! I too find the thumb hole ahead of any thumb stud!! Great with gloves on too!!

Beauty is in the eys of the beholder!! I LIKEUM!!! John

We always say, "Beauty is in the eye of the beer holder".

They arent made to look at.

I really think the Delica and Endura and even the Tenacious are not all that ugly. I'm not sure if they are made in America or Japan or china but they do look like great users. Now take the Jot Singh Kalsa (whatever that is). It's MSRP is $299.95 made in japan. The materials are nothing to extraordinary, G10 scales and VG10 steel. I think for the money a couple American made knives could give me a little more of a twinge .
Your right beauty is in the mind of the beholder. Another way to put is is all my taste are in my ars.

Both of my Delicas are made in Japan.

Lotta people love those knives but I ain't one of them--I really don't think the thumb hole works all that great on any that I've handled but it is a one hand opener and was probably one of the first companies making a one hand opener---they've always been over priced and not all made in the USA--I have only bought one back in the mid 90's think it's a Celofontine er something like that & made in the USA--somebody make me an offer on it--it's still in the box

I got myself into some serious BS when I was determined to buy a Spyderco. After a few weeks of checking them out I decided on their Brad Southard folder. After all how could you go wrong with G10 and Titanium covering a blade made of Carpenter's steel. I had one lined up for about $250 delivered. Just before I pulled the trigger I saw it was made in Taiwan. To me this is a deal breaker. Knives made in Taiwan are at least 40% cheaper than U.S. mfg. knives. What can I say. When I mentioned this on the Big Forum (BF) in the sky I was told I didn't understand what it takes to build a knife and if it were made in America a low life like me couldn't afford it. This may be be true but I took my limited knowledge and actual lack of I.Q. and bought a ZT 501. Of course I had to suffer with Elmax steel but it had G10 and Titanium and was made in the USA. Somehow they managed to sell it for $40 less. I just didn't know that Taiwan had been paying their workforce as much as the Americans and I didn't understand that Taiwan has caught and even surpassed the rest of the world in metal heat treat and quality control. Of course Spyderco was the force behind this miracle. It was pointed out to me that their knives and labor costs were not to be compared to any other country in the far east. If I had only finished my Masters I'm sure it would have entered my computer somewhere along the line. What an embarrasment that I suffered through. Be-littled in front of the whole tactical knife buying industry. I would have changed my name but I couldn't find one that fit better that the one I was born with, Carnegie.

Now I know there's a bunch of people or maybe not, that just read my post and would love to take me to school over it. I'm sorry if I hit a nerve but I really had no idea that Spyderco has managed to put profit behind quality and moved their or some of their operation to China and Taiwan no matter what the sacrifice was to their bottom line. Their goal is putting out the best possible product on the cutlery planet.

Once again though, I want to add that Spydero has the best customer care in the industry. Even if you need help with a sprint run they will be happy to help you out as much as possible

KEEP ER GOIN FELLAS...........

The Ladybug does make a great key chain knife. The most scientifically developed one on the market today. No doubt about it.

I know someone wants to rip me over this I have been through this before

I think there's not much middle ground with Spyderco. You either love 'em or you hate 'em. Maybe hate is a bit strong but you get the idea.

I AGREE JERRY..............


WAZ.....I WOULD HOPE NOBODY HERE WOULD DING A GUY, FOR A PERSONAL OPINION ON A SUBJECT.
