you should sell that problem knife fast!!! too me at a huge discount since it is after all a problem knife lol!
 
The thing is, all of the Spyderco fan boys are going to jump in and immediately defend Spyderco. The guy is legitimately having problems with his knife, and people question it and make fun of him for it. If it were, lets say, a Cold Steel or SOG, it'd be a different story. I can see, "Cold Steel's crap", or, "SOG says it's within spec." If it were Kershaw, Thomas would have already jumped it and probably want to see the knife himself, and take care of it. I say send it in once more, explain to Spyderco that you are frustrated you are having problem after problem, and you are tired of waiting for the knife to be repaired when it should have not had these problems. Explain how much you paid for it, and that you're spending even more shipping it for repairs, and that you shouldn't have to. Who knows, maybe Sal will personally pick one from stock and send it to you. Possibly even refund shipping, or give you some kind of compensation.

Everyone really should back off with the ridiculous remarks and harassment. He is just explaining his dissatisfaction with the knife and the customer service.

Really? Something you had to look "up close" for bothers you enough to make you want to sell the knife?

This is getting to be a bit ridiculous.

Coming from who very diligently inspects knives. Respect his opinion, and he said he was sending it in. Not selling it.

Just my opinion here but he should have sent it in, in the 1st place and got a new replacement instead of going through all this "whining" and all this fuss on here.

Coming from someone who just wants his knife to cut and remain at reasonable price points, it's just drama.

Send it in and post by all means but stop the drama at around 3 posts or something. More than 3 posts of that is just drama. :yawn:
 
Here is an idea, let's let this thread die a natural death. It started out with an incendary title, has now become 'trolish' (sic) in nature and now serves no productive purpose at all. I am sure the OP will report back when he has a positive outcome with Spyderco customer service.

He'll post a great unboxing.....followed by another later inspection (when there is time) that a major issue will be found! I can't wait, have my popcorn ready.
 
You know, I see threads on here with folks praising their knives for things the knives were made and are suooosed to do. Nobody criticises. But let a fella post about some issues he has with a particular knife and guys gotta attack him for it. Every man has different expectations of their knives. Some guys pay their money and want the knife as close to perfect as possible. Some are ok with a few cosmetic flaws. Some guys like to tinker and will fix any problems on their own without sending the knife to the factory. Some guys aren't ss able and have to send it in.

What I am saddened to see here is fellow knife enthusiasts attacking another enthusiast simply for posting his opinions of his knif, and venting a bit about his problems with it. Rather than attack each other with snide remarks it would be much better to see everone work together to help each other here. It would be much better to see knife enthusiasts show more support for each other.

I am relatively new here. And perhaps this thread(and some others) are not a reflextion of the whole forum. But I thought I would not be seeing all this here.
 
One thing we seem to forget sometimes is people's expectations are often very different.While I didn't see a problem with the liners in his first post it doesn't mean there wasn't one. Let's try to look at it from the opposite way as non-knife enthusiasts it's $100 knife that doesn't meet your expectations no matter what they are. Can you remember the first time you told someone that you spent $100 on a knife and the look they gave you? The only thing we can really do as a community is to educate someone that there expectations are unreal at a given price point or manufacturer or material etc.I think after you've been collecting for a few years it is easy to become jaded.

Bottom line if you are just not happy with the knife for whatever reason the simplest and easiest thing to do is to return it.

Yes, I agree. One of the reasons I first came to BF, and the Spyderco forums, was to educate myself about their knives. And I truly appreciate the more experienced guys being patient with me and educating me about the knives. BF as a whole has been very educational for me. And folks here on all the BF forums have helped me along my journey with knives. I have found that my taste in knives has changed over the years. And the last few knives I have aquired are all Spydercos. I really enjoy my Spyderco knives and likely(most certainly) will be aquiring more.

Thank you. I knew I would be attacked for even mentioning Spyderco in a way that isn't praising. Open minded people like you are the ones I was hoping for a response from, but I knew the internet know-it-alls would come in masses as well. I won't be able to send this knife in for another 3 weeks because I'll be out of town, but I will once I'm back. I'm sure they will make things right, but I feel that I completely have a justified reason to be very disappointed and a little angry. Getting the knife back with considerable blade play that can't be easily fixed just felt like a slap in the face from the customer service team.

As for the people on this thread being a "reflection" of the BF community, sadly about 60% of them have poor attitudes- in my experience anyways. It's generally the fanboys and the seasoned collectors that seem to know it all, and anyone who disagrees with what they say is "wrong". Always followed by plenty of passive aggressive comments.
 
If you think people who frequent this forum are harsh don't go to any other manufacturer forums. Anyways why don't you ask a Mod to close this thread since the knife has been sold.

You conveniently forget that you insulted a mod, stirred up a small hornets nest, and kept on kicking at it in this thread. Why is it always that "open minded people" are the agreeable ones, while the ones with a differing opinion and the potential to teach you something are rude, crazy or jerks? You can justify whatever you want, it won't your presentation correct. Taking trolling pot shots at folks and then pretending not to know why is trolling. Move along already, your outlook on things have been made clear and I doubt anything more can be contributed.
