I own Spydercos from the US, China, Japan, and Taiwan. I know that the Taiwan Spydercos are considered top tier and I have no complaints with mine but my Golden PM2 is my favorite and I just ordered a Native 5 G10 as well. I love the torx screws in these models being flat and flush with the G10. It just seems refined and finished to me.

I agree with you 100%. It still bugs me that even fancy custom knives often don't have flush fitting screws.

It may not seem like much but it requires 99% tolerance for the screws to be tight and not sink below the scale surface. The counter sink on the scale also has to be perfectly centered to the hole so the screw can sit perfectly flush and not tilted. This is the very reason I collect PM2, all the variants from sprints to dealer exclusives and every single one of them are perfection.

I think the Golden knives rank with the best Spydercos. I have some Taiwan models that are okay, but not in the same league. My Japanese knives are pretty good, though.
 
You need to see Ti Fluted Native. I should be hard pressed to believe that production knife can be made better.
 
True. In my Spyderholic life I had quite a few Golden Made Spydies current and old. Only once in 2005 I had a problem with my very first Native. Blade was chipping. S30V was quite new at that time and probably all companies, who were using this steel had problems with H/T. There were no problem after that. F&F always were outstanding.
