I've stood by them this whole time and love my knives from Benchmade but that interview opened my eyes to there has to be some big changes fast! Tom Gresham did a great job!
Transgressions aside.
This whole thing has been handled with the utmost incompetence.
Should have took a page. Lynn Thomson handled this perfectly. With class, honestly and integrity. And took no dirty shots. As a matter of fact..Lynn to a couple of clean ones.
I've seen none of that from Benchmade thus far. Quite the contrary.
Who's laughing at Lynn now? Nobody.
I certainly won't anymore. Cold Steel will be getting more of my business, for sure.
Les and Jr should have went in the feild, rolled their sleeves up, and shot some firearms..apologized, sincerely... spoke about plans forward and reaffirmed their commitment to 2A.
..all, while eating apple pie.
A token 5 figure donation wouldn't hurt.
Transgressions moved back, front 'n center.
Their Instagram page the day this all broke had a shot of a knife of theirs next to a glock and the second amendment text. They didn’t reference this directly but it’s impossible to miss the connection they were drawing and the statement being made.Did I miss something? Where was Lynn Thompson involved in this? I’m just honestly confused. Just heard about this info with Benchmade and trying to go through it all.
Just more signs of Spyderco's class and Kai's lack thereof.Their Instagram page the day this all broke had a shot of a knife of theirs next to a glock and the second amendment text.

ZT on the other hand...no so subtle.
Silence from Spyderco, they’re not real active on social media in general though.
Thanks in advance.Did I miss something? Where was Lynn Thompson involved in this? I’m just honestly confused. Just heard about this info with Benchmade and trying to go through it all.
Thanks for the info. I tend to kiss out on a lot. I am not on Instagram or Facebook.
There was no lack of class from KAI, they were just confirming their support for the second amendment.Just more signs of Spyderco's class and Kai's lack thereof.
Not explicitly (this time), but Kai/ZT has a well deserved reputation for acting like asshats in interactions with customers and enthusiasts online. I once posted pictures of a warped blade Natrix I got and their sales director (Thomas W) literally called me a liar in spite of clear pics.There was no lack of class from KAI, they were just confirming their support for the second amendment.

I don’t envy BM Jimmy for his job these days!
