Hi Huugh, Please contact Charlynne and we'll arange to pick up your knife. We will need to know where you purchased the knife, and how much you paid. I will let Charlynne know. (If you purchased the knife in your country through our distributor in you country, you would need only to contact them an...

Dear Sal,
before I spend another $60 on shipping*, will you be willing to express your opinion on the quality of Spyderco knives and the customer service approach?

Here are the details:

*=for the explanation, read the thread @ bladeforums

it sure made the commute a whole heckuva lot more fun than driving my Jeep Cherokee. Except using stupidely small blades in folders (yes, that includes Military) is not fun, but pain. Yes, I see the point if you use it as a parer, and they can be good for that one matter, but on the other hand, you...

The Wars of the Roses by R Neillands for and Human Action by L. von Mises.

Oh no.. Just after dropping a bit of cash on some other knives, a 710 has popped to my attention. Please convince me to wait for a Military instead of spending some more on a 710. I think it looks nice and I am quite partial to the axis lock and the squarish look. However.. the recurve spoils it Ex...

Good thread. The story about H1 "hardening during sharpening" is repeated over and over without giving a second thought. Certainly, work hardening could hardly be induced as the effect of heat during grinding as described by Sal. Preciptation hardening, or aging, requires keeping the steel...

This is very eye-opening article, please read it:

I already posted this on BF, however, I wanted to post it here as well for those who do not frequent other forums :) http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h88/huugh/hybler/1.jpg http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h88/huugh/hybler/2.jpg http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h88/huugh/hybler/3.jpg http://i62.p...

Just wondered how strong FRN was . Has anyone had a handle crack or could one crack if say the pocket clip was tightened too much ? I would say it is not very strong* - in terms of being firm, which is not surprising, considering it is fiberglass reinforced NYLON. But as you can see in posts above,...

The answer of course is that you shouldn't. I seriously doubt that is the answer, because what you suggest is that company should not try to sell its products. Hardly a business model, isn't it? :confused: Some of us are glad to have the choice of paying a higher price for higher functionality and ...

I think that Military is one the best choices (after you remove the pocket clip) in pocket knives, even though Caly3 pleasantly surprised me (unlike Stretch).

Hi 4077th, I'll try to answer your question. Spyderco operates on relatively fixed margins. We take all of the costs to produce a model, add our margin, which is relatively small and establish our MSRP. Distibutors and dealers margins are also included in that MSRP. This model was expensive to make...

@ huugh: Thanks for the links! I checked them all and found not text passage saying it's generally allowed to use third-party photos. And now I say .... Peace, we have Christmas Time :) Well my final word on the subject. (As I said before), those who feel their rights are being violated, take it to...

What will constitute a public opinion if not properly expressed view of those who are the most affected part of the public, i.e. knife enthusiasts?

Is this the brand which people defended by saying that $400 per knife is not that much considering the warranty? The brand that sent scratched and damaged knife from the factory, and when the buyer complained, he got "f*ck off" response from the owner himself? The brand that based its mark...

Please give me the relevant links and I will study them. Only links with legal content please. Thanks! If you are expecting me to provide background research for an area where lawyers get confused and lawsuits are held because of the unclearness of the subject, I have to disappoint you. But neverth...

With all due respect, no it is not simple! Sir, do you have an idea how many laws in different countries whole over the world exist, only in matter of usage rights of images/photos? It's not necessary to show author marks in photos. Are you aware, that it is not even settled very much, how differen...

Huugh, you've merely provided an excellent example of why 1) lifting images off image servers , rather than 2) taking the time and making the effort to determine their original context, and refraining from using them if you cannot , is unethical. Sigh. As for 1), it is out of context - how would it...

@ Jay_Ev: If you don't want that somebody is telling you, your argument is totally stupid, don't post your argument. What do you think now? No offense! I respect your position, but I can't agree. Did you consider, that US-law and EU-law is different for pictures in internet? Fine. For the third tim...
