Bc they charge extortionate shipping rates, have horrible prices, unnecessary taxes ... but the shitty customer service and slow shipping are both free!
Why all the hate for BBS? A small exclusive Spyderco dealer, commisioning small run exclusives, and selling them out repeatedly for their Retail price and 2day air shipping. ( No tax on my Smurf blue PM 2) The BBS model works ! Like it or not. Should only be one thread for BBS Hate. IMHO
Because they price gouge. And slap a ridiculous shipping charge on top of that. The no returns for any reason thing is news to me, but I can’t say it’s surprising.Why all the hate for BBS?

And they haven’t (yet) learned that M390 really isn’t anything special anymore...I have estimated (before these and the DLC tan 20CV) that there are well over 10000 PM2s in existence made from M390 and it’s analogs (20CV and 204P)Because they price gouge.

Thanks for not letting the topic die quietly, @Va.koi guy.
Manufacturers should start to enforce MaxAP (Maximum Advertising Price) so that greedy dealers will go out of business soon.
Spyderco.com sells all of their items for full MSRP. Maybe they should follow your MaxAP proposal.

I've never participated in that. How do I go about this?Spyderco also sells their knives at 50% of MSRP to their OpFocus members - active/retired military and public safety personnel. I have the privilege of being one of the them.

Any word on the reported new knife in the works designed by Paul Alexander? In comparison to the Ikuchi, it was described at Blade Show as having a similar round flipper style but with a taller and shorter blade, more of an EDC-style knife.
I don't think so, at least based on the details that were reported. On his YouTube channel, JT's Knife Life had a Blade Show recap where he said it would have a wheel flipper like that on the Ikuchi. It's also supposed to have a shorter blade than the Ikuchi's, and the Parata's is longer.I assume you are talking about the Parata which was recently released and is currently available at dealers and directly from Spyderco.
I am very interested in this rumored new design. I just hope they don't make it in Seki.I don't think so, at least based on the details that were reported.

Anyway - when's the Bow River shipping!
