Sage 1... Difference between taichung and just taiwan

Taichung is a city in Taiwan and literally means "central Taiwan". It is known as an industrial manufacturing city in Asia, and I imagine that they are trying to establish more of a name for themselves in the world of knife manufacturing by separating themselves from just "Made in Taiwan".

Same intent as Seki City, Sheffield, Toledo, and Solingen.
 
I just kind of wish they had stayed with the font they used to use for the "Taiwan" stamp - the "TAECHING TAIWAN" one looks a little ugly to me. I certainly love the knives, in any case, and I know I'm being finicky.
 
Spyderco's people in Taichung Taiwan make some of the best production knives in the world, imo. Spectacular fit & finish; at least on par with Golden CO. Buy with confidence! :thumbup:

I'd love to see "Taichung, Taiwan, Earth" stamped into the tangs... :cool:
 
The Taichung made blades are probably the best Fit and finished Spydercos produced. Better than my Golden or Seki City made.
