Good day!
First of all, I want to say that I have been a long-time fan of Spyderco knives. I respect and admire Sel Glesser, whose contribution to the modern look of the folding knife is hard to overestimate. Spyderco knives will always be in my heart.
But it seems to me that there is a person in the company who casts a shadow on the reputation. This is the employee who adds dye to the FRN handles of the Para 3 knife. Five years ago, I bought a Para 3 with a blade made of CPM Rex 45. In the catalog, the handle was bright orange, but in real life it turned out to be the color of boiled carrots. I experienced mental trauma, but I coped with it.
Five years have passed, I bought a Para 3 with a blade made of Magnacat steel, Salt series, the color of their handles is well known, it is bright lemon color. But when I opened the box, it wasn't lemon that looked at me, but margarine with a pinkish tint, the phone camera miraculously evens out the yellow color and only the photo of the back of the handle conveys the shade more truthfully.
Perhaps this employee has no malicious intent, and his vision is simply peculiar, maybe he takes some of the dye home to paint his dog's kennel, but it seems to me that this issue needs to be sorted out, since sometimes the discrepancy between reality and expectations brings suffering.
My complaint is, of course, a joke. In our area there is a saying "In every joke, there is only a grain of truth."
Sincerely, Vadim.
P.S. Sorry for the Google translator.
