Never seen this before...look at picture

I usually don't take my spydies apart as it voids the warranty, but this one had custom work done. I noticed there are #'s on the blade where you couldn't normally see them...a manufacture date perhaps? I picked it up in a trade, so I have no idea what the letters on the box where.

BTW this was a camo millie

As you thought, it's a manufacturing date and I believe it's been normal on the US made knives for a while now, at least the screw construction ones.

I found the same thing on my Military when I took it apart to polish the washers.

Interesting and I was unaware that taking down a spydie personally voids the warranty??

 

[ssblood]

Yep, if they can tell you took it down or if you tell them warranty is void. I think common sense prevails though.

 

[THE PUNISHER]

yep common,,,,,,though i have never took mine apart.....grin

•Spyderco warrants that all of our products are free from defects in material and workmanship.

The bolded bit indicates the way the knife is assembled. If something isn't right, it's just better to send it in.

Aslong as your ok with waiting.

Competent disassembly/reassembly should be impossible to detect. Incompetent disassembly/reassembly voids the warranty. Given they had to start carrying a rebuild kit for the Endura and Delica, and the number of folks posting stripped screw tales of woe, there seem to be plenty of the later.
