I didn't see anyone get their knickers in a bunch besides the OP when people answered his asinine, loaded question.

guy made a poor observation that was clearly incorrect and people corrected him.

I don't own benchmade knives but I would correct an incorrect observation about them too. but I am shopping for a mini grip.

Title changed.

Title changed. I STILL think that some posters overreacted to the title, even with the question mark in the original one making it a question rather than an accusation.

BTW, for all the Spyderco enthusiasts out there, I do have a Manix2 XL and a Dragonfly 2 on order. I do not mislike Spyderco, just have never owned one before and that is about to be corrected. As a traditionalist in many respects I always thought their blade shapes, with the hole, looked wierd I guess.

Mea Culpa, Mea Culpa, Mea Maxima Culpa

I can't believe you caved to the thin skinned fanboys of this forum. The only forum that has thinner skinned members than this one is the archery forum. God forbid everyone doesn't like my favorite knife company. I wish this was my biggest problem in life.

He didn't cave. He just did the right thing. I'm no fanboy of any company, and like Spyderco and Benchmade.
Thin skin had nothing to do with it. Maybe you didn't see the original title???

I did see the original and the fact that he clearly explained in the post what he meant about the similarities about the two. But the ADHD goldfish-attention span members still jumped all over him for the title, even though the post was not inflamatory. These "copying" threads always seem to rattle, because there are only a handful of styles out there, yet thousands of knife makers. There will be similarities, and since this isn't high school, if something isn't patented, then by all means copy away. And most of us aren't old enough to prove who made it first. It's the culture of the forum, and hard to avoid.

Pump the brakes... It's not caving into anything. Leveling a loaded, biased, poorly thought outand worded title to a thread that may contain similar content, then realizing it after the fact and making corrections is pretty far from caving into anything. It's called common sense.

Well, After reading your insults about our members I guess his original title does seem pretty mild in comparison.

Anyway, I'm pretty sure he has his answer now.
