In recent years I noticed warranty and repair service is not going good job as they used and the overall products especially the one make in golden are poor quality and falling apart I got my delica 8 years ago and is totally different quality than one I brought month ago same with pm2s and other folders ! Do anyone have similar experience

I haven't noticed anything like that at all.

Spydies falling apart?? No, haven't seen anything like that at all.

No similar experience here.

Me either :confused: >> actually over the past 3 years I've noticed an upgrade in overall quality. Especially with the GOLDEN, CO USA Earth units. I've never been treated bad by Spyderco's Warranty & Repair Dept. If anything they have been extremely kind and generous with me on several occasions.

Please go to YELP with all the other trolls and paid bad reviewers.

Much more interesting than the original post. Did you know that both robins take care of the young until they can fly? Very cool.

In the last few months I've purchased a PM2 in S110V, a CruWear Manix 2, a Sage 5 & the Nishijin Lil Lum. All 4 have been pretty much flawless as far as fit & finish, lockup & blade play. Edge grinds were not absolutely perfect on all of them, but shaving sharp. My only other Spyderco is a Pro Venator from 20 years ago. I would say no, if anything the quality of the current Golden knives are higher than ever. Sage 5 from Taichung, perfect. Lil Lum from Seki, perfect.

Is it possible that Nicholas is seeing counterfeits?

There has certainly been an increase in counterfeit Spydies from China, and people thinking those are genuine might explain a perceived drop in quality.
