well as luck would have it(or lack thereof), i have gotten laid off and the spyderco i was wanting will not happen this year. this is a REALLY bad time to not have a job...
 
That truly is bad news...
End the year lay-offs are the worst. Last time I was laid-off it was in Jan. several years ago. Turned for the better, but didn't seem so at the time. Hope your luck improves!

thank you for the kind words. this time of year is stressfull enough without this happening. i guess i will somehow get by. no more purchases though...
 
Hate to hear your layed off, my uncle was told yesterday his plant was closing after working there 25+ years and hes out of a job, bad time for anyone to be out of work, I hope things work out for you soon.
 
thanks for the good words. i had an interview today, it only pays 1/2 what i "was" making and doesn't start until after new years, but at least there is "hope". obviously christmas shopping is over for me this year(my wife is no longer working because of health reasons). gee, what a year!
NEXT YEAR "WILL" BE BETTER:)
 
I feel for you, bro. This shouldn't happen before Christmas :( Try to be optimistic though. A kick in the butt is a step forward.
BTW, what was the spidie you had in mind?
 
i don't really know the model, but i would like to get the 440V steel. i have heard that it is the best steel for holding an edge and rust resistant combination. i realize there are better choices for edge holding and rust resistant blades, but it seems that this is the best compromise for "all in one" blade..., from what i have heard. any feedback would be interesting about this steel and comparisions to other steel.
thanks everyone:)

I really do feel for you. My company had been losing money for some time. We declared Chapter 11 in September. We came "this" close to Chapter 7. I was quite worried there for a while...we all were. I wish you the best of luck. Unemployment sucks period, but it really sucks around Christmas.

the police carbon fiber in left hand with unserrated edge, that would be my DREAM KNIFE! it is only a limited edition and with no job, i will never be able to get one:(
stress sucks...
 
Hi Wayne. Sorry to hear about your misfortune. These are tough times. Try to think positively and trod onward. It's a better attitude for managing stress.

Waynejitsu,
Never say never. :) I thought I would never own a Ti-Police. I saw one years ago on the back page of a catalog, and didn't have the money for it. I got lucky this year and bought a used one. Great knife the Police model. I hope you get a job soon. Good luck. :)

waynejitsu> I feel for ya man.

I was laid off w/ a kid and wife pregnant w/ twins. Took me six months to find a job. On the bright side, I found a job that was made for my skills and personality, and we're in a much better place now.
 
i am "looking", but everything is about 1/2 what i am used to making:( i will keep looking...
(at lot of time "looking" at knives at the web page:)
 
I feel your pain, man. I'm graduating from college this May, and getting a job is no easy task. My friends a couple of years ago had employers breathing down their necks, now it's the other way around -- how quickly things change.

Best of luck
 
??? what is an ATE?
i have several i would like and have on my christmas list, unfortunately, none of us are financially secure enough to get one at this time. i do have job leads after new years, but at 1/2 my "last" salary:( knife or no knife, i still gotta eat...
